evil thing

Singer: fogerty, john

you know i feel just like a prisoner

the way your love has chained me down

and it's so hard to make a move

when your evil thing is all around

so i gave your letter to the mailman

i turned your picture to the wall

but still you have claimed me forever

and that's what scares me most of all

ooh

you evil thing

why do you haunt me?

you evil thing

what good is love?

the other night

i had a feeling

there was somebody else in my room

now i don't know if i was dreamin'

but i still get a chill from your perfume

when my telephone rings

and there's no answer

and the wind comes knockin' at the door

i can see things flashin' by the window

lord

i can't take it much more!

ooh

you evil thing

why do you haunt me?

you evil thing

what good is love?

yeah yeah yeah!

so i gave your letter to the mailman

i turned your picture to the wall

but still you have claimed me forever

and that's what scares me most of all

ooh

you evil thing

why do you haunt me?

you evil thing

what good is love?

you evil thing

why do you haunt me?

you evil thing

what good is love?
