Lyrics

You know, uh
If somebody somewhere done you wrong
[Instrumental]
Oh, don't worry about your revenge, no
I said if somebody somewhere done you wrong
Oh, don't worry about your revenge, no, no
'Cause that's when evil
Oh, evil slips on in
[Instrumental]
Hey, when I first met you, baby
You were nothing but a child
When I first met you, baby
I used to let you run wild
But somewhere, somehow
Lord, I don't know how
All your goodness slipped away
And that's when evil, yeah
Evil let it stay, evil let it stay, yeah
[Instrumental]
Evil's with me in the morning
Evil's with me and I can't get away, no
But there's gonna come a time
Oh, when somebody else is gonna pay, yeah
Woo, they're gonna pay, baby
