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 been 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 riverside
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, look at me
I just need your sympathy"
Well, I knew better, but now I'm free
And you look best as the boots on my feet.
