Well,
a woman comes up
and she says, young man
I think I'd like to have you
for my lover, man
I said, oh woman, so long, goodbye
And right about then I got the evil eye
Oh yes, I got it, I got it, that evil eye
I couldn't read it, even if I tried
Now that woman, that woman,
she bugs me so I want to
leave but I just can't go
Well, she's mean and she's lanky
and that ain't all
Sittin' on the floor and she still looks tall
One eye's good, the other one's bad
I looked in the wrong one
and I sure was mad
Oh yes, I got it, I got it
That evil eye, I couldn't rid it
Even if I tried
That woman, that woman,
she bugs me so I want to leave, but I just can't go,
even lie
So if a woman comes up
and she says, young man
Friend, you better turn and
run as fast as you can
Cause it don't take much to get you high
Just one glass from that evil eye
Oh yes I got it, I got it
That evil eye
I couldn't really even ever try
That woman, that woman
She bugs me so I want to leave
but I just can't go
Evil eye, whoa
Evil eye, yeah yeah
Evil eye, ooh
We will live
