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 just let me wait

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

And now its too late

For your delayed, delayed emotion
