The Boy Who Cried Wolf

Well I am the boy who cried wolf

And I know I've lied in the past

Last night I saw it

Yellow eyes shining in the dark

Yeah, I know I spawn tales with this voice

And I open my mouth too fast

Well last night I saw it

Footprints in the path

Well I could swim every sea

From south pole to north

But I know I'll only ever be

The boy who cried wolf

Well I am the shepherd's only son

And I know what a joke I've become

I have an honest heart but I have lies on my tongue

I don't know how it started or where it came from

And you have no reason and I have no proof

But this time I swear I'm telling the truth

I saw that old wolf, from tail to tooth and I know that he's hungry

He's comin' down to you

Well I could swim every sea

From south pole to north

And I could climb every tree

Scale a free course

And I can tell only the truth from this day forth

But I know I'll only ever be

The boy who cried wolf

Oh-oh

I am the boy who cried wolf

Whoa-whoa-whoa

I am the boy who cried wolf
