Lyrics
Evil Thing
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.
You know I feel just like a prisoner, the way your love has
chained me down, So I gave your letter to the mailman, I turned
your picture to the wall,
But still you have claimed me forever, and that's what scares me
most of all!
CHORUS:
Ooh! You evil thing, why do you haunt me?
You evil thing, what good is love?
The other night, I had a feeling there was somebody else in my
room,
Now I don't know if I was dreamin', but I still get a chill from
your perfume.
When my telephone rings, and there's no answer, and the wind
comes knockin' at the door,
I can see things flashin' by the window, Lord I can't take it
much more!
CHORUS
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
So I gave your letter to the mailman, I turned your picture to
the wall,
But still you have claimed me forever, and that's what scares me
most of all!
CHORUS
CHORUS
CHORUS
