Crocodile Tears Lyrics by Lauren Mayberry
You pick up the phone to start a chain reaction
I’m ringing my bell, I’m hanging on the ropes
Been trying my best to show you some compassion
Give you an inch, I’m slipping down the slope
I wish you would stop yourself from calling me every time
You need validation for the qualities you wanna hide
Maybe I’m a villain, but I find it kind of thrilling when you cry
Cry
Crocodile tears running down your face
Oh, what a man will say just to get his way
Always crying wolf, so I’m sad to say
That I don’t really wanna hear it
I don’t really wanna hear it from you, babe
I run like a rabbit when you need a distraction
You’ll be the snare for me to hang my head
You find it fun, but I don’t see the attraction
I’m sick of it now, I’m gonna kill it dead
I wish you would stop yourself from calling me every time
You need validation for the qualities you wanna hide
Maybe I’m a villain, but I find it kind of thrilling when you cry
Cry
Crocodile tears running down your face
Oh, what a man will say just to get his way
Always crying wolf, so I’m sad to say
That I don’t really wanna hear it
I don’t really wanna hear it from you, babe
Yeah, yeah
I’m tired of talkin’ ’bout it
You, you
You’ll learn to live without it
Yeah, yeah
So hush your mouth until you do
Do
Crocodile tears running down your face
Oh, what a man will say just to get his way
Always crying wolf, so I’m sad to say
That I don’t really wanna hear it
I don’t really wanna hear it from you, babe
Crocodile tears
What a man will say
Always crying wolf
I don’t really wanna hear it
I don’t really wanna hear it from you, babe
