I tried this on my copy of HyperCard and had appropriate results.
When I clicked, it said I clicked. When I didn't click, it said I
did not click.

Perhaps you are double-clicking the button? Try clicking just once.

Try this alternative and tell me what happens:

on mouseLeave
  put "Click or don't click..."
  wait 5 seconds
  if the mouseClick then
    put "You clicked."
  else
    put "You didn't click."
  end if
end mouseLeave
