lyrics

My Evil Friend

My evil friend, he haunts me now, I’ve got to get rid of him somehow
My evil friend, he makes me blue, it could be you, it could be you

He sets me up, and knocks me down, he kicks me when I’m on the ground
He hides behind your smiling eyes, he always likes to attack by surprise

Spreads his lies, maligns my name, and always tries to make me take the blame
Wrecks what’s mine from jealousy, he wants to ride and control me

He hops along from friend to friend, I never know who it will be or when
Wants me to cry, and wonder why, wants me to suffer, wants me to die

My evil friend drives them away, no one around, now I am safe
My evil friend is all I see, my evil friend, now it’s just you and me.
My evil friend and me.
