Aimee Ann Duffy - Delayed Devotion lyrics

[Verse 1] It seems you wanna give me Oh, a lifetime of security Down on your dying knees I watch you beg, 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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've taken too much time To show me that you're mine [Chorus] 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 Cause you just let me wait Now it's too late For your delayed devotion [Bridge] You played me for a fool for too long Blinded by your lies I never saw your wrong I'm no longer under your spell Hear it in a song: You can go to Hell! [Chorus] 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 And now it's too late For your delayed, delayed devotion
