Skeeter Davis Lyrics
"Evil on Your Mind"

(Harlan Howard)

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
I'm not so 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 muskart bloomed human 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 counted with evil on your mind.

Your mind is in the hare man
Surrounded by exotic dancing girls
You're hearing pretty music as they run
Their slender fingers through your curles
Ah dream on baby.

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

You're just bad evil
Think of all these bad things you do...
