Delayed Devotion



Lyrics

It seems
You wanna give me
Oh
A life time of security
Down on your dying knees
I watch you, babe
I watch you plead

But your words
Come much too late
My love for you
Has turned to hate
'Cause you've taken
Too much time
To show me
That you're mine

When I drop you boy
You'll need another toy
One that won't stand up
For herself
When I knock you down
You'll need another town
Where somebody's
Gonna talk to you
You just let me wait
Now it's too late
For your delayed
Delayed devotion

You try
To convince me
Oh
About the possibilities
But I know
That all your poetry
Just comes
From insecurity

'Cause your actions
Mean nothing no more
When it's what
I've been waiting for
'Cause you've taken
Too much time
To show me
That you're mine

When I drop you boy
You'll need another toy
One that won't stand up
For herself
When I knock you down
You'll need another town
Where somebody's
Gonna talk to you
'Cause you just let me wait
Now it's too late
For your delayed devotion

You played me
For a fool for too long
Blinded by your lies
I never saw your all
I'm no longer
Under your spell
Hear it in a song
You can go to Hell

When I drop you boy
You'll need another toy
One that won't stand up
For herself
When I knock you down
You'll need another town
Where somebody's
Gonna talk to you
You just let me wait
And now its too late
For your delayed
Delayed emotion
