Evil
Matt Goss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're over, nothing, over, nothing

Darling I haven't missed you even once
In fact babe without you, I'm having way more fun
Cause living with you, like looking at the barrel of a gun
Yeah, your smile could crack your face, you look down at everyone

Thank God,
We're over, we're over, and nothing could make it right
We're over, we're over, and nothing could make it right
We're over, we're over, and nothing could make it right
We're over, we're over, and nothing could make it right
Because you're evil, because you're evil, yeah, because you're evil
Oh, you're evil

Your made to make a man just feel regret
Of your love I roll the dice and lost the bet
If I'm Blackjack, then you're Russian Roulette
You're the only person in my life I wish I hadn't met

Thank God
We're over, we're over, and nothing could make it right
We're over, we're over, and nothing could make it right
We're over, we're over, and nothing could make it right
We're over, we're over, and nothing could make it right
Because you're evil, because you're evil, oh, you're evil
Oh yeah, you're evil

You will never be part of my life, I know, I know
If you think that I will miss you one day, I won't, I won't

Thank God
We're over, we're over, and nothing could make it right
We're over, we're over, and nothing could make it right
We're over, we're over, and nothing could make it right
We're over, we're over, and nothing could make it right




Because you're evil, you're evil, oh, evil
Because you're evil (repeat)

You are someone who causes others to regret ever being involved with you.


Of your love I roll the dice and lost the bet

If I'm Blackjack, then you're Russian Roulette
I thought we were meant to be, but every time I entered your world, it felt like I was taking a deadly risk.

Your intentions and actions are nothing but bad, and I, alas, realize this now.


Oh, you're evil
All the harm you caused me and others comes from that vile nature inside you.


Because you're evil, oh, you're evil
The root of all evil in my life was none other than you, and I just had to speak up.


We're over, we're over, and nothing could make it right
Our relationship is finished, and there is no way of repairing any damage or making things better again


Because you're evil, you're evil, oh, evil
Your evil nature was responsible for tearing us apart, and it's not worth crying over.
