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 placeWell, you don't have to be kicked to be bruised, no
And you don't have to be hit to be abusedEvangeline, 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, EvangelineAnd 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
Well, you don't have to be cut to be scarred, no
And you don't have to be struck to leave a markEvangeline, 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
It ain't love if it's mean, EvangelineYou don't have to be kicked to be bruised, no
And you don't have to be hit to be abusedEvangeline, 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
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
