evil eyes
stole my heart on a dark December night
souls of flame
loving her has made me half insane

the way she cast me
in her spell
secrets I couldn’t tell
were for me
and for you

once I knew
the joys of loving were for me and you
but now she’s here
and with her secrets I know I’ll have to bear

to let her take me
from your side
rob me of all my pride
and my love
oh sweet love

evil eyes
she’s got those
evil eyes
though I’m only her friend
I know I’ll love her till the end
of my life
oh sweet life

evil eyes
she’s got those
evil eyes
though I’m only her friend
I know I’ll love her till the end
of my life
