Maybe it's the evil eye 
               A 
Oh, that awful evil eye 
D                    
Remember how he used to hold you close 
                         D7 
Now in the middle of the night

Oh, that awful evil eye

The way they're stickin' him with pins, ooooooh-oh

I know he's sick but we can't be sure 
Still, from everything I've heard

Has he lost weight and his lips gone pale? 
Covered in little white lies 
Oh, the evil eye 
Oh, the evil eye

Cuz you don't look so good yourself, ooooooh-oh

By somebody crueler than you thought 
                   G        D/F  Em
