Intro: (bb) (bb) (bb) (bb) (bb) (bb) (bb) (bb)

(bb) crocodile tears, that's what you cried
(bb) when i wanted to leave your side
And you (eb) said "hey baby...Look at me
(bb) don't you have no sympathy?"
Well (f) i should have known better
(eb) i could have been free
But i (bb) walked too close and you
(f) nearly swallowed me (bb) (bb) (bb) (bb)

They (bb) said you were low, they said you were mean
(bb) but i just thought you were really green
When you (eb) said "hey, baby...This is so new
(bb) i have never loved like i love you."

(eb) i could have been free
But i (bb) walked too close and you
(f) nearly swallowed me (bb) (bb) (bb) (bb)

(bb) one day i went walking by the riverside
(bb) just wanted to see your crocodile eyes
And i (eb) heard you say: "baby please..."
So i (bb) turned around but you weren't talking to me
Well (f) i should have known better
(eb) i could have been free
But i (bb) walked too close and you
(f) nearly swallowed me. (Bb) (bb) (bb) (bb)

(bb) crocodile tears, that's what you cried
(bb) when i wanted to walk on by
And you (eb) said "hey baby...Can't you see

(bb) and you look best as the boots on my feet
