Evil On Your Mind Lyrics - Jan Howard

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 

Ahh, 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
