Say you don't listen to every word that I say Kind of explains it all in some peculiar way I know it, and you know it There's no distance gonna keep you safe It was an evil eye (Watching you) Got an evil eye (Look at you) It was an evil eye (Watching you) Got an evil eye (Cuts right through) Teaching you lessons and now I'm meant to behave While you change like a season inside a single day You want me to, be more like you But you're never gonna get your way 'Cuz there's an evil eye (Watching you) There's an evil eye (Look at you) There's an evil eye (Watching you) There's an evil eye (Cuts right through) Judge away Cover parts of me you don't deem worthy of your love But beware There's power beyond measure when I There's no danger you'll be left on the shelf For you're the poster boy for falling in love yourself But one's only gonna get lonely Let the light into that crack in your shell 'Cuz you got an evil eye (Watching you) Got an evil eye (Look at you) Got an evil eye (Watching you) Got an evil eye (Cuts right through) Cuts right through you Cuts right through you Cuts right through you Can't you see? Until I know you're sorry there's an arrow for your chest God help me Tell a different story and put my heart at rest Well there's an evil eye (Watching you) Got an evil eye (Look at you) There's an evil eye (Watching you) Got an evil eye (Cuts right through)
