You say I need a rest Why don't I go and see my sister way out west That's very thoughtful of you dear And I'm really touched with all this tenderness But us women are suspicious things We know that men aren't born with wings What's making you so kind? Now, I'm not smart But I'm not blind and I think that you've got evil on your mind You think that you've been good about as long As most red blooded human could We've been together for so long I know another pasture's looking good But 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 contend with evil on your mind Your mind is in a harem And surrounded by exotic dancing girls You're hearing pretty music As they run their slender fingers through your curls Ah, dream on baby I thank you for the flowers and the candy Honey, that was very kind For that's your way of telling me You're sorry for the evil on your mind
