High tides in the city, I'm in too deep
And I'm runnin' on fear
Oh, dear, you and your alligator tears
Works me over and through
You say move a mountain, and I'll throw on my boots
You say stop the river from runnin', I'll build a dam or two
You say change religions, now I spend Sundays with you
Somethin' 'bout those tears of yours
How does it feel to be adored?
You and your alligator tears
You and those alligator tears
You
Somethin' about those tears of yours
How does it feel to be adored?
Sunrise in the morning, you're all I need
All I need is rain, or the roots get weak
Sweet things need time to grow
Think about leaving? Hell no
Squeeze every ounce of love on my body, yeah
You say move a mountain, and I'll throw on my boots
You say stop the river from runnin', I'll build a dam or two
You say change religion, now I spend Sundays with you
Somethin' 'bout those tears of yours
How does it feel to be adored?
(I adore, I adore, I adore, I adore) those alligator tears
(I adore, I adore, I adore, I adore) your alligator tears
(I adore, I adore, I adore, I adore, I adore) alligator tears
(I adore, I adore, I adore, I adore, I adore) (how does it feel to be adored?)
Alligator tears
