I'm an evil gal, don't you bother with me,
Yes, I'm an evil gal, don't you bother with me, I'll empty your pockets and fill you with misery. I've got men to the left, men to the right, Men every day and men every night! I've got so many mem, mmm I don't know what to do, So I'm tellin' you daddy, I ain't no good to you! I've got men in the east, men in the west, But my man here in Harlem always loves me the best! I'm an evil gal, and I need an evil man, But I'm down in the dumps since I list him to Uncle Sam. If you want to be happy, don't hang around with me, Mmm, I said if you wanna be happy, don't hang around with me, 'Cause I'm an evil gal, and I want to set you free. |

Everybody needs practice in the art of love;
I've had twenty years' practice and, Lord above! I know how to do it, I know how to do it, I know how to do it, Good enough for anyone! If you love your man you'd better take good care, Or you'll wake up one mornin' and he won't be there! 'Cause I know how to do it, I know how to do it, I know how to do it, Good enough for anyone! I may be old fashioned, I may be dumb, I may be a square and I may be a bum! But I know how to do it, I know how to do it, I know how to do it, And I dish it out with ease! Don't encourage me, baby, or I'll go too far When you say, "Beat me, momma, eight to the bar!"; I know how to do it, I know how to do it, I know how to do it, And I dish it out with ease! If you see a man who's mellow and fine, Tell him to come and see me any old time! I know how to do it, I know how to do it, I'll keep on doin' it as long as it's easy done! |

Love, to a man, is just a thing apart
To take or leave according to his whim Love, to a woman means her very heart She only wants to live her life for him. Maybe he's not much, Just another man doing what he can But what does she care When a woman loves a man. She'll just string along all through thick and thin Till his ship comes in It's always that way When a woman loves a man She'll be the first one to praise him when he's going strong The last one to blame him when everything's wrong It's such a one sided game that they play But women are funny that way. Tell her she's a fool, She'll say yes I know but I love him so And that's how it goes When a woman loves a man She'll be the first one to praise him when he's going strong The last one to blame him when everything's wrong It's such a one sided game that they play But women are funny that way. Tell her she's a fool, She'll say yes I know but I love him so And that's how it goes When a woman loves a man |

He always knows the proper thing to share
He makes your blue night seem a holiday He lies in such a fascinating way That's why a woman loves a heel You know that he's a phony more or less But when he meets a lady in distress He handles everything with such finesse That's why a woman loves a heel You'll meet a fellow who is on the square with you And you ignore him, have no time for him Or he will say, ?Let's go? and set your heart aglow You're a won completely by a no good, so and so He knows just how to get beneath your skin He holds the aces, you can't win He gets a lot of goodness out of scene That's why a woman loves a heel He knows just how to get beneath your skin He always holds the aces, you can't win He gets a lot of goodness out of scene That's why a woman loves a heel |

Breeze, stop moanin' those weird melodies
My (man, gal) has left me and I can't face the music Without singin' the blues Your rhythm on my window pane Drives me insane because I can't face the music Without singin' the blues My heart is so broken, I've spoken To the Lord for sympathy And if He don't help me So help me ! It's the bottom of the deap blue sea For me, I'm gonna end this misery My (man, gal) has left me and I can't face the music Without singin' the blues |

It isn't fair for you to taunt me
How can you make me care this way It isn't fair for you to want me If it's just for a day It isn't fair for you to thrill me Why do you do the things you do It isn't fair for you to fill me With those dreams that can't come true, Dear Why is it you came into my life And made it complete You gave me just a taste of high life If this is love then I repeat It isn't fair for you to taunt me How can you make me care this way It isn't fair for you to want me If it's just for today My Darling, it isn't fair |

Each time I hold somebody new
My arms go cold thinking of you No one can take your place, darling, in my embrace I'll never be free And when my lips burn with desire No other kiss can put out the fire Though I may try and try, no one can satisfy This longing in me (Chorus) I'll never be free from your smile so tender The sweet surrender in your eyes How can I be free when I still remember? How you could thrill me with a sigh Just like a chain bound to my heart Your love remains while we're apart Each kiss I gave to you Made me a slave to you I'll never be free (Chorus) That kiss I gave to you Made me a slave to you I'll never be free |

Understanding and peace in mind But if it's not asking too much Please send me someone to love Someone to love Show the world how to get along Peace will enter when hate is gone But if it's not asking too much Please send me someone to love Please send me someone to love I lay awake night and ponder world troubles And my answer is always the same That unless man puts an end to this damnable sin Hate will put the world in a flame, what a shame Just because I'm in misery I don't beg for no sympathy But if it's not asking too much Please send me someone to love Please send me someone to love Show the world how to get along Peace will enter when hate is gone But if it's not asking too much Please send me someone to love Please send me someone to love |

I have mixed emotions
When it comes to loving you I know I shouldn't like the things you shouldn't do But if you were perfect It wouldnt be the same To a tiger a tiger's not a tiger if he's tame But when you're near me I am happy just alone with you But when you're far away from me I'm awfully blue You're the bitter and the sweet combined So what am I to do I have mixed emotions over you I have mixed emotions When it comes to loving you I know I shouldn't like the things you shouldn't do But if you were perfect It wouldnt be the same To a tiger a tiger's not a tiger if he's tame But when you're near me I am happy just alone with you But when you're far away from me I'm awfully blue You're the bitter and the sweet combined So what am I to do I have mixed emotions over you |

I've got bad news baby, and you're the first to know
Yes I've got bad news baby, and you're the first to know Well I discovered this morning that my wig is about to blow Well I've been rocking on my feet and I've been talking all out of my head Yes I've been rocking on my feet and I've been talking all out of my head And when I get through talking, I can't remember a thing I've said Now I used to be a sharpie All dressed in the latest styles But now I'm walking down Broadway Wearing nothing but a smile I see all kinds of little men Although they're never there I tried to push a subway train And poured whiskey in my hair I'm a gal who blew a fuse, I've got those blowtop blues Last night I was five feet tall, Today I'm eight feet ten Every time I fall downstairs, I float right up again When someone turned the lights on me it like to drove me blind I woke up this morning in Bellevue but I've left my mind behind I'm a gal you can't excuse, cause I've got those blowtop blues Well I got high last night, and I took my man to his wife's front door Yes I got juiced last night and I took my man to his wife's front door Oh but she was a 45-packin' mama, and I ain't goin' to try that no more! |

Hear me, why you keep fooling
Little coquette, making fun of the one who loves you Breaking hearts you are ruling Little coquette, true hearts tenderly dreaming of you. Someday you'll fall in love as I fell in love with you. Maybe the one you love will just be fooling too. And when you are alone with all your regrets, You know, my little coquette, I love you. Someday you'll fall in love as I fell in love with you. Now, maybe the one you love will just be fooling too. And when you are alone with all your regrets, Now, you know, my little coquette, I love you. |

I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you To want a love that can't be true A love that's there for others too I'm a fool to hold you Such a fool to hold you To seek a kiss, not mine alone To share a kiss that devil has known Time and time again I said I'd leave you Time and time again I went away But then would come the time when I would need you And once again these words I'll have to say Take me back, I love you Pity me, I need you I know it's wrong, it must be wrong But right or wrong, I can't get along without you |
