The boy who cried wolf,
he don't cry wolf anymore
For one day he opened up his eyes,
and the wolf was at the door
And all his faithful hound dogs
Couldn't chase the wolf away
For the boy had cried wolf
one too many times
An d now the real wolf came today
Sing la -la -la one more time,
then the fairy tale is through.
Fairy tales are funny little things,
lest their happening begin.
The boy who cried love,
he don't cry love anymore
The wolf of love opened up his heart,
left it bleeding on the floor
And a thousand healing love songs
Couldn't take the pain away
The boy did not know true love
Until love had gone away
Sing la -la -la one more time
Then the fairy tale is through
Fairy tales are funny little things
Unless they're happening to you
Some live in houses made of strong
Some live in houses
made of glass
Surrounding walls of brick and stone,
they say I'm safe at home at last
Then the wolf comes prowling late one night,
and he blows their safe house down
Nursery rhymes go running
through their mind
As they lay curled up on the ground
Sing la la la one more time
Then the fairy tale is through
Fairytales are funny little things
Unless they're happening to you
The boy who cried wolf
He don't cry wolf anymore
you
