To tell you the truth
I'd have to befriend you
There's only so many postcards
I'm willing to send you
I don't need a new buddy
I don't care where you're from
You gotta build me a ballpark
If you want me to come
Yeah, i cried wolf
For so many years
They only come to my rescue
If i swear the coast is clear
I cried wolf
You gotta give me some proof
I can believe
If you won't let me start the game
At least let me relieve
But if these punks start charging the mound
I'm gonna read 'em the news
I got more dirty tricks
Than i even know how to use
I spent too many years
In the minor leagues
To sit here on the bench
While the girls cheer
I spent too many years
In the minor leagues
To lay down
I cried wolf
For so many years
They only come to my rescue
If i swear the coast is clear
I cried wolf
