[Verse]
You know
If somebody, somewhere done you wrong
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
Because that's when evil
Oh, evil slips on in
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
Evil's with me in the morning
Evil's with me and I can't get away, no
But there's going to come a time
Oh, when somebody else is going to pay
Going to pay baby
You know
If somebody, somewhere done you wrong
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
Because that's when evil
Oh, evil slips on in
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
Evil's with me in the morning
Evil's with me and I can't get away, no
But there's going to come a time
Oh, when somebody else is going to pay
Going to pay baby
