/ Duffy / I think this song is about a boy who has been taking
/ Delayed Devotion / too long to make a pass at the girl and perhaps being
/ Rockferry / too cocky before actually revealing his feelings. And
/___________________/ now he has wasted his chance.

Verse
Bridge
Chorus, quit the last bar of Eb
Bridge, break on the last Bbm7 and hold it one bar more
Chorus, end on Eb
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
