Delayed Devotion

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

'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
