You said that you wanted every piece of me baby
And when I showed you it all to you
You glanced sideways and whispered maybe
Oh how you gonna' lie to me in that evil way?

I took my bags down our creakin' wooden stairs
As you were yelling pullin' up your hair
How you gonna' say somethin' like that and stay a pair?
Oh baby how you gonna' lie to me in that evil way?

Now I got no job an' I got no baby next to me
Got no friends and my car's just been lifted
Cops sirens are whining and I cannot bear to look an' see
Baby how you gonna' lie me down in that evil way?

Telephone in my place is ringing but I don't have the strength
To lift that receiver and hear what you got to say
It rings all night can't get no sleep I'm at a strings length
Baby how you gonna keep me up in that evil way?

Saw you crossing the street in a wishy wash way yesterday
With a man I knew back when I was 22
Suit worn tight even though it was the hottest month in May
Baby how you gonna lie to me in that evil way?
