Crocodile tears, that's what you cried
When I wanted to leave your side and you said
"Hey baby look at me, don't you have no sympathy?"
Well, I should have known better, I could have been free
But I walked too close and you nearly swallowed me
They said you were low, they said you were mean
But I just thought you were really green when you said
"Hey, baby, this is so new, I have never loved like I love you"
Well, I should have known better, I could have been free
But I walked too close and you nearly swallowed me
One day I went walking by the river side
Just wanted to see your crocodile eyes
And I heard you say, "Baby, please"
So I turned around, but you weren't talking to me
Well I should have known better, I could have been free
But I walked too close and you nearly swallowed me
Crocodile tears, that's what you cried
When I wanted to walk on by and you said
"Hey baby, can't you see, I just need your sympathy"
Well I knew better, now I'm free
And you look best as the boots on my feet
