Evelene (you’ve got to know it) is the new single by Dutch alt.country band The Yearlings. Released 27 September, 2018 on Lonely Sounds Records/Sonic Rendezvous.
Evelene (you’ve got to know it)
You thought you would lose
Whoever you’d confuse
You thought you could win
Sitting on your high ground
Watch ‘em closing in
Though you’re a doll
There’s feelings after all
Now it’s too late
The water in your eyes
Is about to gravitate
Evelene
Talk about a girl on the run
And Evelene
You’ve got to know it
Now you have found
The final turn-around
Evelene-style
It’s never gonna work
Or it’s gonna take a while
Evelene
Talk about a girl on the run
Evelene
I will lay it down
Your life has just begun
Evelene
There’s a time you gotta commit
And Evelene
You’ve got to know it
I call you out
You don’t know what I’m on about
What can I say
You came to pour your heart out
But fun got in the way
Evelene
Talk about a girl on the run
Evelene
I will lay it down
Your life has just begun
Evelene
There’s a time you gotta commit
And Evelene
You’ve got to know it
