Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm an evil gal, don't you bother with me
Yes, I'm an evil gal, don't you bother with me
I'll empty your pockets and fill you with misery
[Verse 2]
I've got men to the left, men to the right
Men every day and men every night
I've got so many men, mmm, I don't know what to do
So I'm tellin' you, daddy, I ain't no good to you
[Verse 3]
I've got men in the East, men in the West
But my man here in Harlem always loves me the best
I'm an evil gal and I need an evil man
But I'm down in the dumps since I've lost him to Uncle Sam
[Verse 4]
If you want to be happy don't hang around with me
I said if you want to be happy don't hang around with me
'Cause I'm an evil gal and I want to set you free
