  • 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 speak 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
    You just let me wait
    Now it's too late
    For your delayed, 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
    Now it's too late
    For your delayed, delayed devotion Writer/s: AIMEE ANN DUFFY, AIMEE DUFFY, EG WHITE, JIMMY HOGARTH
