You made a fool of me
But them broken dreams have got to end
Hey, woman, you got the blues
'Coz you ain't got no one else to use
There's an open road that leads nowhere,
So just make some miles between here and there
There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in
You took my body and played to win
Ha, ha, woman, it's a cryin' shame
But you ain't got nobody else to blame.
Evil woman, evil woman, evil woman,
Evil woman.
Rolled in from another town
Hit some gold, too hot to settle down
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways
And you found a fool lyin' in a daze
Ha, ha, woman, what you gonna do?
You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you
It's so good that you're feelin' pain
But you better get your face on board the very next train.
Evil woman, evil woman, evil woman,
(You're an evil woman) evil woman.
Evil woman, evil woman, evil woman,
(You're an evil woman) evil woman.
Evil woman, how you done me wrong
But now you're tryin' to wail a different song
Ha, ha, funny how you broke me up,
You made the wine, now you drink a cup
I came runnin' every time you cried
Thought I saw love smilin' in your eyes
Ha, ha, very nice to know
That you ain't got no place left to go.
Evil woman, evil woman, evil woman,
(You're an evil woman) evil woman
Evil woman, evil woman,
(You're an evil woman) evil woman
(Such an evil woman) evil woman
Evil woman (you're an evil woman)
Evil woman (such an evil woman)
Evil woman...
But them broken dreams have got to end
Hey, woman, you got the blues

You took my body and played to win
Ha, ha, woman, it's a cryin' shame

About"Evil Woman" is a song written by lead vocalist Jeff Lynne and recorded by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). It was first released on the band's fifth album, 1975's Face the Music.
When released as a single in late 1975, the song became the band's first worldwide hit. According to Lynne this song was the quickest he had ever written, in thirty minutes, originally as 'filler' for the group's Face the Music album. The song placed in the top 10 on both sides of the Atlantic in early 1976. The song became a hit again in the UK in 1978 when it featured on The ELO EP. The lyric "There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in" in the song is a tribute to The Beatles' song "Fixing a Hole".
