Evil On Your Mind

(album: Misty Blue - 1968)

You say I need a rest why don't I go
And see my sister way out west
That's very thoughtful of you, dear
I'm really touched by all this tenderness
But us women are suspicious things
We know that men aren't born with wings
What's making you so kind?
Now I'm not smart but I'm not blind
I think that you've got evil on your mind

You think that you've been good about
As long as most red blooded he-men could
We've been together for so long
I know another's pasture's looking good
Don't think that other men don't look at me
That certain way from time to time
Don't think that you're the only one
That must contend with evil on your mind

Your mind is set on a harem
And surrounded by exotic dancing girls
You're hearing pretty music as they
Run their slender fingers through your curls
Ah, cling on, baby

I thank you for the flowers
And the candy, honey, that was a very kind
For that's your way of telling me
You're sorry for the evil on your mind

Evil on your mind
