[Verse 1]
I saEw you last night with that felAla
the Eup-to-date version ofC#m me
He was smEug as a lottery wAinner
You were wEarm as a reBptile can bEe
What a chEange from the last time I Asaw you
With those tEears running down if you pC#mlease
From sEad to happy so quAickly
That's one hEundred and eBighty degrEees
[Chorus]
But crAocodiles do it much bEetter
they're mAuch more humane and forgBiving
Their vEictims are dF#mead
in a mE/G#inute it's sAaid
While yEours have to cBarry on lEiving
And those crAocodile tears you've been shEedding
Some dAay they might come back to hBaunt you
Oh, I bEet you one F#mday
you'll be sE/G#obbing awAay
'cause you hEave to
and nBot 'cause you wEant to
E F#m E/G# A E B E
[Verse 2]
And the nEight that you said it was oAver
I got a hEistory lesson for fC#mree
I thoEught it was you did the lAying and cheating
It tuErns out it muBst have been Eme
When tEhe tears started flowing that clAinched it
I knEew you'd be running aC#mway
to the aErms of your new love -
poor deAvil, he gets you
for twEenty four hBours a dEay
[Chorus]
But crAocodiles do it much bEetter
they're mAuch more humane and forgBiving
Their vEictims are dF#mead
in a mE/G#inute it's sAaid
While yEours have to cBarry on lEiving
And those crAocodile tears you've been shEedding
Some dAay they might come back to hBaunt you
Oh, I bEet you one F#mday
you'll be sE/G#obbing awaAy
'cause you hEave to
and nBot 'cause you wEant to
E F#m E/G# A E B E
[Verse 3]
Well I hEope he lives up to your stAandards
StEandards I could never C#mkeep
I was Ealways to quick on the trAigger, you said
not to mEention to duBmb and to chEeap
And I seEe all your petty reveAnges
The drEama goes on, does it C#mever
But that pEicture of us, in the nAude, on the bus
To pEut it on FBacebook was clEever
[Chorus]
But crAocodiles do it much bEetter
they're mAuch more humane and forgBiving
Their vEictims are dF#mead
in a mE/G#inute it's sAaid
While yEours have to cBarry on lEiving
And those cArocodile tears you've been sEhedding
Some dAay they might come back to hBaunt you
Oh, I bEet you one dF#may
you'll be sE/G#obbing awaAy
'cause you hEave to
and nBot 'cause you wEant to
Oh, I bEet you one dF#may
you'll be sE/G#obbing awaAy
'cause you hEave to
and nBot 'cause you C#mwant to E

Final four lines from an older version (as seen on several YouTube videos):
But wEatching you acting the vAictim
Is like wEatching the news on C#mtv
You cEan't stand to see
all the blAood and the gore
yet you caEn't take your eByes off the scrEeen
