Chely Wright - Alligator Purse Lyrics
(kenya slaughter walker/nick pellegrino)I called him for days, he didnt answer the phoneI drove by his house, I knew he was homeA weeks worth of papers and mail in the boxI thought he was dead, I picked the lockI found him in tears in the dark on his kneesWith a hole in his chest where his heart used to beAnd he said...Dont call the doctor, dont call the nurseCall for the lady with the alligator purseShe knows the spell to lift this curseGo find the lady with the alligator purseIn an old stone house off 21stI found the lady with the alligator purseShe answered the door, said I know who you areShe lit a candle, consulted the starsWhen I saw her closing that reptiles hideI asked her point-blank, is my friend going to dieAnd she said...Im not a doctor, Im not a nurseIm just the lady with the alligator purseHope for the best, prepare for the worstSo said the lady with the alligator purseShe said, look at what happened to cleopatraWhen she didnt take my adviceAnd romeo, juliet, they didnt get itToo bad, those kids were so niceBy the time we got back to my pitiful palThere was no sign of life till he saw the alligatorPurse on her arm, the gleam in her eyesShe opened the bag, there was nothing insideShe said, theres no secret, its love that I useI just carry this bag because it matches my shoesAnd she said...Dont call the doctor, dont call the nurseDont call the lady with the alligator purseLove is the magic of the universeTake it from the lady with the alligator purseLove is the magic of the universeTake it from the lady with the alligator purseThe lady with the alligator purse
