- Delayed Devotion LyricsIt 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
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 wrong
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 it's too late
For your delayed, delayed devotion

✔️
When we try to understand the message behind it, the song 'Delayed Devotion' by Duffy exemplifies a person who has become wearied of expectation and, therefore, the partner’s show of love, which is perceived as untrue and, at best, lukewarm. The text tells how the protagonist has been deceived and has discovered that the partner's acting was a result of anti-heroine insecurities and lack of sincerity, thereby setting himself/herself free from the parasitic relationship and moving on with power and autonomy. Delayed devotion lyrics primarily portray the channels of emotions such as heartbreak, angst, anger, empowerment, and reflection through the singing. Alongside the emotions, the song simultaneously draws attention to deceit and disillusionment, empowerment and self-respect, and love that was delayed. The lyrics are loaded with emotional manipulation and betrayal, which could be the reason why they are not meant for children below 13. The vocabulary and topics imply a certain adult emotional complexity that should be accompanied by parental guidance.
