Evangeline

[Verse 1]

He won't lay a finger on you

He won't wreck your pretty face

But he'll tell you that you're worthless

Just to put you in your place

[Pre-Chorus]

Well, you don't to have to be kicked to be bruised, no

And you don't have to be hit to be abused

[Chorus]

Evangeline, you're a hard one

Your denial is bolstered by your dreams

Thinking love is gonna save you

But it ain’t love if it's mean, Evangeline

[Verse 2]

And the smile that you're wearing

Is just a lovely veil

For the secrets that you're hiding

That are just too dark to tell

[Pre-Chorus]

Well, you don't have to be cut to be scarred, no

And you don't have to be struck to leave a mark

[Chorus]

Evangeline, you're a hard one

Your denial is bolstered by your dreams

Thinking love is gonna save you

But it ain’t love if it's mean, Evangeline

[Post-Chorus]

It ain’t love if it's mean, Evangeline

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]

You don't have to be kicked to be bruised, no

You don't have to be hit to be abused

[Chorus]

Evangeline, you're a hard one

Your denial is bolstered by your dreams

Thinking love is gonna save you

But it ain’t love if it's mean, Evangeline

[Outro]

It ain’t love if it's mean, Evangeline

It ain’t love if it's mean, Evangeline

It ain’t love, Evangeline

It ain’t love, Evangeline

It ain’t love, Evangeline

It ain’t love, Evangeline

It ain’t love

It ain’t love, Evangeline
