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
