Cry Wolf
Dare Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you need someone
There's a lot to depend upon
Sometimes love can be cold, yeah!

I called her name from the broken dream
And from the darkness like a silent scream
I could feel the vengeance of a lonely child
She was called the hunted, she was running wild

I don't want your loving, baby
I feel that vengeance for love, oh!
I don't need your loving, baby, no
I can see you've got a vengeance for love
Everybody sing, yeah

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I know it's only cry wolf
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I can see it's only cry wolf
Whoa!

I saw the flames of a burning cross
Like a pride on passion that she knew she'd lost
Now she stands alone of her distant throne
She was crying wolf, she was on her own

I don't want your loving baby
I feel the vengeance for love
I don't want your loving baby, no
I can see you've got a vengeance for love
Everybody sing, yeah

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
(Oh, yeah, yeah)
I know it's only cry wolf
Everybody sing, yeah
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I know it's only cry wolf, oh!

Cry wolf

I don't want your loving, baby
I feel that vengeance for love
I don't need your loving, baby now
I can see you've got a vengeance for love
Everybody sing, yeah

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
(Oh, whoa, yeah)
I know it's only cry wolf
Everybody sing, yeah
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I know it's only cry wolf, come on!

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Every time you leave me, babe
Every time you make me please
I know it's only cry wolf
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I see it's only cry wolf, yeah, yeah!





Whoa-oh-oh-oh
It's only cry wolf...
