lyrics

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
