(1st Verse:)
He won't lay a finger on you
He won't wreck your pretty face
But he'll tell ya that your worthless
Mr."Put you in your place"

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

(Chorus:)
Evangeline, your a hard one
Your denile is bolstered by your dreams
Thinkin' love.. is gonna save you
But it 'aint love, if it's mean, Evangeline

(2nd Verse:)
And the smile that your wearin'
Is just a lovely veil
For the secrets that your hidin'
That are just to dark to tell

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, your a hard one
Your denile is bolstered by your dreams
Thinkin' love.. is gonna save you
But It 'aint love, if it's mean, Evangeline
It 'aint love, if it's mean, Evangeline

You don't have to be kicked to be bruised, no
And you don't have to be hit to be abused

(Chorus:)
Evangeline, your a hard one
Your denile is bolstered by your dreams
Thinkin' love.. is gonna save you
But It 'aint love, if it's mean, Evangeline

It 'aint love, if it's mean, Evangeline
It 'aint love, if it's mean, Evangeline
It 'aint love, Evangeline
It 'aint love, Evangeline
It 'aint love, Evangeline
It 'aint love, Evangeline
It 'aint love, It 'aint love, Evangeline
