Evil Thing Lyrics - Singles - John Fogerty

You know I feel just like a prisoner, the way your love has chained me down, so I gave your letter to the mailman, I turned your picture to the wall, 

But still you have claimed me forever, and that's what scares me most of all! 

Chorus: 

Ooh! you evil thing, why do you haunt me? 

You evil thing, what good is love? 

The other night, I had a feeling there was somebody else in my room, 

Now I don't know if I was dreamin', but I still get a chill from your perfume. 

When my telephone rings, and there's no answer, and the wind comes knockin' at the door, 

I can see things flashin' by the window, lord I can't take it much more! 

Chorus 

Yeah! yeah! yeah! 

So I gave your letter to the mailman, I turned your picture to the wall, 

But still you have claimed me forever, and that's what scares me most of all! 

Chorus 

Chorus
