"Evil On Your Mind" lyrics

"Evil On Your Mind"

You say I need the 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 redblooded he-men could
We've been together for so long
I know another 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 in a harem and surrounded by exotic dancing girls
You're hearing pretty music
As they run their slender fingers through your curls
Ah, dream on, baby

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