Evil Woman

Doobie Brothers

Well, the light's turnin' gray, nearly eve'ry day


Come a walkin' into town and try to find the way


Well, I've only got a nickel, got to score myself a dime


And try to make it 'til tomorrow, buy a little more time





Evil woman, evil woman


Evil woman





Well, my damsel she's a woman with coal black hair


Don't you look her in her eye when she starts to stare


'Cause her beauty drive you crazy


And her potions steal your soul


No matter how you beg her she don't ever let you go


Well, you can cry, you can plead


It won't help you none


She'll keep you in the shadows, never see the sun


Try to run, try to hide


Find a place to stay


No matter where you go you can't get away





Evil woman, evil woman


Evil woman, oh





For evil woman set my life free


I can't go on livin' this way, no


Evil woman set my life free


Pullin' me down, down


I can't go on this way


Down, down my head will go against the floor again


Down, down my head will go against the floor again


Down, down I can't go on this way


Down, down my head will go again


Down, down I can't go on this way


Down, down my head will go again


Down, down I can't go on this way


Down, down my head will go again


Down, down I can't go on this way


Down, down, down





Well, the light's turnin' gray


Nearly ev'ry day


Come a walkin' into town


Try to find my way


I said I only got a nickel


Got to score myself a dime


Try to make it 'til tomorrow


Buy a little more time


My damsel she's a woman with coal black hair


Don't you look her in her eye when she starts to stare


'Cause her beauty drive you crazy


And her potions steal your soul


No matter how you beg her she don't ever let you go





Evil woman, evil woman


Evil woman
