Delayed Devotion Lyrics
It seems you wanna give me
Oh, a life time of security
Down on your dying knees
I watch you, babe, 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
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
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
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
You played me for a fool for too long
Blinded by your lies I never saw your all
I'm no longer under your spell
Hear it in a song
You can go to Hell
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 its too late
For your delayed, delayed emotion
Oh, a life time of security
Down on your dying knees
I watch you, babe, I watch you plead
My love for you has turned to hate
'Cause you've taken too much time
To show me that you're mine
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
Oh, about the possibilities
But I know that all your poetry
Just comes from insecurity
When it's what I've been waiting for
'Cause you've taken too much time
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
Blinded by your lies I never saw your all
I'm no longer under your spell
Hear it in a song
You can go to Hell
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 its too late
For your delayed, delayed emotion

wow no comments on this song its the best song on the album !!!!
I agree this song is probably the best song on the album. love love love this song. to me this means that who ever she is interested in, obviously took too long to pay attention to her. now hes trying to win her back, maybe by writing poetry and what not. but its too late. actions speak louder then words!
i can't believe only two people commented so far .. I love this song so much off the album!
anyways i think the meanings pretty straight forward .. she liked someone, they didn't really like her back/messed her round and now she's stronger because of it and moved on and they want her.
"hear it in a song you can go to HELL" yeah he ticked her off love it!
