Lyrics
You said you'd be my friend until the very end
You said you loved me too and I believed in you
You put on quite a show, but baby now I know
You're just a crocodile
I've seen some sweet cupcakes turn into rattlesnakes
I've met some pretty chicks who play some dirty tricks
But let me tell you child, you beat 'em by the mile
'Cause you're a crocodile
I know some low down heels who pull some phoney deals
I know a railroad mack who'll stab you in the back
I've seen some double-cross, but baby you're the boss
'Cause you're a crocodile
You're like that old green thing a-laying in the mud
With nothing in your veins but lots of ice cold blood
You got a pretty smile, but let me tell you child
You're just a crocodile
Crocodile
Crocodile
Crocodile
Crocodile
