Lyrics
That Evil Child
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She loves to spend my money
On fancy clothes and jewelery
Just like it was going out of style
It don't bother her to take it
Or how hard I work to make it
I just can't say no when she smiles
She's wicked and she's lusty
Someday she's gonna bust me
And the day my money's gone she will be too
But it don't even phase me
My friends all think I'm crazy
Lovin' her is all I wanna do
Lord, how I love that evil child
She's got a sexy, sexy way that drives me wild
She's the center in her heart
And it's tearin' me apart
Lord, don't I love that evil child
Sometimes I get the feeling
That I'll have to take up stealing
Just to give her all that she desires
And although I might regret it
But I'd go right out and get it
Because she sets my soul on fire
I'm afraid someday I'll lose her
But I still can't refuse her
I keep givin' everything I can
I know all the doubt about her
But I still can't live without her
Ain't it strange what love will do to a man
Lord, how I love that evil child
She's got a sexy, sexy way that drives me wild
She's the center in her heart
And it's tearin' me apart
Lord, don't I love that evil child
Lord, don't I love that evil child
