Alligator Lyrics by Paul McCartney

NEW (Collector’s Edition)

2013

[Intro]
Okay
[Verse 1]
I want someone to come home to
I need somewhere I can sleep
I need a place where I can rest my weary bones
And have a conversation not too deep
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody else busy doing better than me
And I can see why it is
They've got someone settin' 'em free
Someone breaking the chains, someone letting them be
[Verse 2]
I want someone who can save me
When I come home from the zoo
I need somebody who's a sweet communicator
I can give my alligator to
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody seem to know what they are talking about
And I can see why it is
They got someone breakin' 'em out
Someone finding a key, someone settin' 'em free
[Chorus]
Could you be that person for me?
Would you feel right setting me free?
Could you dare to find my key?
[Verse 3]
I want someone who can bail me
When I get up to my tricks
I need somebody used to dealing with a sinner
Whenever I get in a fix
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody else busy doing better than me
And I can see why it is
They've got someone settin' 'em free
Someone breaking the chains, someone lettin' 'em be
[Chorus]
Could you be that person for me?
Would you feel right setting me free?
Could you dare to find my key?
