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 be tter   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
