Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Listen to the Lord when he calls you
Thats all you really gotta do
Before he breaks the chains and set you free
Hes gonna do to you like he did to me
Dont you be afraid to loose control
Open up your heart anda you will feel what I feel
How true love is real
This love can really take you by the hand
youll never, ever, be alone again
Its time for you to change, make your mind
And from now on just leave yor past behind
I know sometimes is so hard to believe
The shadows around never stop closing in
You ve gotta see through
Anda true love you will see
Wil give you the strength to fulfil all your needs

"E.V.O.L"
Yeah... yeah... yeah...
Pink lipstick stains, cigarette butts
I lie in bed, I hate my guts
A day in the dark, a murdered afternoon, yeah
Oh baby, darling, how I'd love to become your suicide blonde
To lie beside my Romeo, oh what a wicked way to go
It only takes two lonely people
To fuck love up and make it evil
It only takes a drop of evil
To fuck up two beautiful people
L.O.V.E. L.O.V.E.
L.O.V.E. E.V.O.L.
L.O.V.E., do you love me?
L.O.V.E., love is evil
Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker
Every kiss you give me makes me sicker
A day in the dark, a day in a cloud of gloom, yeah
I look at you, you look at me
Milk and roses, squeaky clean
Well, you're the best I've ever seen
And I'm your dying beauty queen
It only takes two lonely people
To fuck love up and make it evil
It only takes a drop of evil
To fuck up two beautiful people
L.O.V.E. L.O.V.E.
L.O.V.E. E.V.O.L.
L.O.V.E., do you love me?
L.O.V.E., love is evil
Yeah... yeah... yeah...
Yeah... (L.O.V.E. E.V.O.L.)
Yeah... (L.O.V.E. E.V.O.L.)
Yeah... (L.O.V.E. E.V.O.L.)

It only takes two lonely people
To fuck love up and make it evil
It only takes a drop of evil
To fuck up two beautiful people
L.O.V.E. L.O.V.E.
L.O.V.E. E.V.O.L.
L.O.V.E., do you love me?
L.O.V.E., love is evil
Do you, do you, do you love me?

Do you love me?
L.O.V.E., love is evil

First I didn't believe that love could be that bad...
Till one day...
I saw it...
I felt it...
I was broken hearted...
Love got fucked up...
But I swear...
I can't live with being called FRIEND of the person I still love...
I will never forget that day my heart got broken...

Now I'm scared to fall in love with anyone...
But I still like that person...
