Lyrics
Years ago back in Paradise
Adam got an apple, and some bad advice
Next thing you know he was out on the street
Every day since, Eve’s been takin’ the heat
Just because of that first mistake
The poor girl can’t get a break
Blame it on Eve
That original sin
Blame it on Eve
She just can’t win
Since the Garden of Eden they have you believin’
When somethin’ goes wrong
You can blame it on Eve
Hurricanes and tropical twisters
Always get named after some sister
But the worst winds come from D.C.
Stealin’ rights from you and me
While a man is tough, a woman’s a bitch
Who needs a trial burn that witch
Blame it on Eve
That original sin
Blame it on Eve
She just can’t win
Since the Garden of Eden they have you believin’
When somethin’ goes wrong
You can blame it on Eve
Only a woman can give birth
We’re all children of Mother Earth
When God made woman
From that rib
It was the smartest thing
She ever did
Talking ‘bout Eve
Don’t get me wrong, I love men
All my lovers, and all my friends
But these days a woman can feel alone
When even her body she doesn’t own
Wanna know how it feels to have the blues?
Just try losing your right to choose
Blame it on Eve
That original sin
Blame it on Eve
She just can’t win
Since the Garden of Eden they have you believin’
When somethin’ goes wrong
Blame it on Eve
