[Verse 1]
Hold me tight and pull me under
I close my eyes and let you lead
Well, you should know by now my heart is in your teeth
Hey alligator, have some mercy on me

[Verse 2]
You could tell me lies as soft as summer
And you could let me drown or let me dream
Oh Heaven knows by now, I might be in too deep
Hey alligator, have some mercy on me

[Pre-Chorus]
We're all fighting to survive out in the wild
Baby, when I see your hungry eyes, I feel alive

[Chorus]
But you're cold blooded, hot hеaded
And I love it, I can't escapе ya
Why do I come back for more? It's human nature
And you should know by now my heart is in your teeth
Hey alligator, have some mercy on me

[Verse 3]
You shake me up, I'm so uncertain, yeah
You bring me back to seventeen
I know your doors could close and crush me easily
So hey alligator, have some mercy on me
[Pre-Chorus]
We're all fighting to survive out in the wild
Baby, when I see your hungry eyes, I feel alive

[Chorus]
But you're cold blooded, hot headed
And I love it, I can't escape ya
Why do I come back for more? It's human nature
And you should know by now my heart is in your teeth
Hey alligator, have some mercy on me (Have some mercy)

[Outro]
Hey alligator, have some mercy (Ahh-ahh)
Have some mercy, oh
Have some mercy on me
