Evangeline

He won't lay a finger on you

He won't wreck your pretty face

But he'll tell you that you're worthless

Just to put you in your place

Well, you don't have to be kicked to be bruised, no

And you don't have to be hit to be abused

Evangeline, you're a hard one

Your denial is bolstered by your dreams

Thinking love is gonna save you

But it ain't love if it's mean

Evangeline

And the smile that you're wearing

Is just a lovely veil

For the secrets that you're hiding

That are just too dark to tell

Well, you don't have to be cut to be scarred, no

And you don't have to be struck to leave a mark

Evangeline, you're a hard one

Your denial is bolstered by your dreams

Thinking love is gonna save you

But it ain't love if it's mean

Evangeline

Well, you don't have to be kicked to be bruised, no

And you don't have to be hit to be abused

Evangeline, you're a hard one

Your denial is bolstered by your dreams

Thinking love is gonna save you

But it ain't love if it's mean

Evangeline
