Thread Name: Songs about breakups, breaking up
Subject: Lyr Add: EVIL WOMAN (from Electric Light Orchestra
You know it had to come sometime....ELO!!!

You made a fool of me
But them broken dreams have got to end.

Hey woman, you got the blues
Cos' you ain't got no one else to use,
There's an open road that leads nowhere
So just make some miles between here and there.
There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in,
You took my body and played to win,
Ha Ha! woman it's a cryin' shame,
But you ain't got nobody else to blame.

Evil Woman, Evil Woman
Evil Woman, Evil Woman

Rolled in from another town,
Hit some gold too hot to settle down,
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways,
And you found a fool lyin' in a daze,
Ha Ha! woman what you gonna do,
You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you,
It's so good that you're feelin' pain
But you better get your face on board the very next train.

Evil woman how you done me wrong,
But now you're tryin' to wail a different song,
Ha Ha! funny how you broke me up,
You made the wine now you drink a cup,
I came rinnin' every time you cried,
Thought I saw love smilin' in your eyes,
Ha Ha! woman very nice to know,
That you ain't got no place left to go.

Evil Woman, Evil Woman
Evil Woman, Evil Woman
