Evil Ways Lyrics

I don't pretend to be no angel

I've broken a law or two

I guess weakness tends to get the better of me

But that don't excuse the things that I do

I've had my share of bad habits

And everyday's another day I try to get through

But when that old friend starts to callin' on me

Then there ain't much that I can do

I've been able to say I've done that for quite some time

Don't get me wrong cause it don't make me proud, no

I've been trying to change my evil ways

But when I start, I get lost and then I just don't know where to go

I've made a few mistakes along the way

But then again, who has not?

And all the trouble that I've ever caused

Has taken away all that I got

And it's a shame to know where I'm going

It's a shame just to see me carry on

But everytime I try to do something right

Things turn out so doggone wrong

I've been able to say I've done that for quite some time

Don't get me wrong cause it don't make me proud, no

I've been trying to change my evil ways

But when I start, I get lost and then I just don't know where to go
