Lyrics

[Verse 1] Tears on your pillow Falling down around you everywhere What makes you think that After all this time I really care Used to think you were the sweetest guy on earth But now, in fact I see All those nights, I waited for you You were ripping, running in the streets And now you're crying crocodile tears [Chorus] Keep on crying crocodile tears Tell your story sob sad, oh! Keep on crying crocodile tears 'Cause it's driving you mad [Verse 2: Teena Marie, Bernadette Cooper] Lipstick and perfume saturate your clothing It's not mine Don't look surprised, boy Thinking that I'm not the hurting kind Ran into an old friend And she told me 'bout a guy whose love was true (Yeah, I met this guy, I look good, he look good) (Our baby's gonna look good, I'm so in love!) Then I saw a snapshot And I guess you know the picture was of you And now you're crying crocodile tears [Chorus: Teena Marie, Bernadette Cooper] Keep on crying crocodile tears Tell your story sob sad, oh! Keep on crying crocodile tears (Good Lord!) 'Cause it's driving you mad [Post-Chorus] What makes you think that I'm still in love with you After all this time How can you stand there and say you love me too (You love me) When I know you're out of your mind (Y-you must be crazy, baby boy) [Bridge] Ha-ha-ha, you've got to be kidding Do you want one violin or the whole orchestra? Tears, yeah, that's the ticket, big ones But I think I'll just give you one violin My darling, I loved you so My darling, I loved you so [Verse 3] 'Cause I loved you with a passion And I loved you with a love you know was true And I loved you with conviction There is nothing in this world I would not do So you can stop your crocodile Tears make you think that I still could love you true After all this time How can you stand there and say you love me too When I know you're out of your mind [Interlude] T-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-tears T-tears, t-t-t-tears T-tears, t-t-tears T-tears, crocodile tears! T-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-tears T-tears, t-t-t-tears T-tears, t-t-tears T-tears, crocodile tears! [Chorus] Keep on crying crocodile tears Tell your story, tell your story Keep on crying crocodile tears Tell your story, tell it to me, baby! [Post-Chorus] Aye, crocodile...tears! (T-tears, t-tears) Crocodile tears (T-tears, t-tears, t-tears, t-tears) Tears! Crocodile tears! Mega tears! Uh! Big ones! Uh! Tears! Crocodile tears! Mega tears! Uh! Big ones! Lord! Goodbye, baby! (Goodbye, baby) Goodbye, let's call it a day Wait a minute, Kita Wait a minute, baby, wait a minute Let me see that picture again Girl, you're gonna believe this But this is my man! Uh, Jimmy! I just-I just love the piano Boom-shaka-laka-laka! Boom-b-boom! [Outro] As I was saying, I'll tell you what This is what we gonna do We gonna-we'll go for you to party, baby We gonna get up and put our money together We gonna run a check and we just gonna go partying 'Cause you know what? I'm just gonna be a diva And I'm not even gonna worry about no man right now I just gonna get on my knees and boogie, baby!
