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
