Well you've told me all your problems and I guess I never knew
That you had so many of them with no-one to tell 'em to
And I've sat here feeling righteous while you've barely paused for breath
I don't mean to butt in like this but you're boring me to death
Can you not come to your senses? There are others besides you
Who've had bad experiences with no-one to tell 'em to
And you say you're suicidal and how death seems wonderful
I don't mean to risk reprisals but you know you're crying wolf
Baby it's all wrong, but if that's the way you want it then that's how it's gonna be
Don't start arguing with me
Baby it's all wrong, but if cryin' wolf is what you want that's what you'd better do
I'm not arguing with you
It's been almost forty minutes and I've barely said a thing
If I thought you planned to finish I could get something to drink,
'cause I need something to revive me before all hope disappears
There's a little voice inside me screaming "Get me out of here!"
Baby it's all wrong
Tell me where has all the time gone?
You've gone way beyond a brief introduction You're testing my patience beyond destruction
You just go on and on
And I'm wondering why I ever bother Y'know, what with one thing or another
I simply can't go any further: give me a chance to respond
Well you've told me all your problems and you never once asked me
Whether I had any of them and offer some sympathy
If I dropped down dead before you, would you notice it at all?
Well, I don't mean to ignore you but I'm just about to fall
Baby it's all wrong ...
No I'm not arguing with you, cryin' wolf
