Evil Ways Lyrics

You've got to change your evil ways... baby
Before I stop loving you.
You've go to change... baby
And every word that I say, it's true.
You've got me running and hiding
All over town.
You've got me sneaking and peeping
And running you down
This can't go on...
Lord knows you got to change... baby.

When I come home... baby
My house is dark and my thoughts are cold
You're hanging ëround... baby
With Jean and Joan and a who knows who
I'm getting tired of waiting and fooling around
I'll find somebody, who won't make me feel like a clown
This can't go on...
Lord knows you got to change

Organ Solo:

(Repeat 2nd verse)

Yeah ... Yeah ... Yeah ...

Cover art for Evil Ways lyrics by Santana

i ant believe there arent more comments on this song. This song is the bomb! Whoever says nonpoint's cover of this is better should go jump off a bridge Satnata has 100 times the skill that the guitarist of nonpoint will ever have. Santana is a musical genious!

Incorrect lyrics: When I come home... baby My house is dark and my THOUGHTS are cold

Correct lyrics: When I come home... baby My house is dark and my POTS are cold


The boyfriend comes home, and his girlfriend isn't there. Instead, she's out with her friends. Thus, his house is dark and his pots are cold (i.e., she's not home cooking for him).

His THOUGHTS may be cold as well, but the lyrics address the POTS issue.

Good tune, odd topic, but relects feeling of a guy who comes home and his girl is elsewhere rather than looking after him and the home and he has had enough!
