Whenever I try to hold my baby, 
she just stand there a while 
No matter how I try to please that woman, 
she won't even crack a smile 
Lord, maybe you in heaven can help me, 
'cause this is one evil child 
Oh, I say maybe, maybe somebody can help me, 
because this is one evil child 
When I buy her flowers or candy she just looks at me and growls, 
She say, "You must be guilty or have a guilty conscience buddy", 
because I'm convicted without a trial 
She just grunts when I call baby, hmm one evil child 
I said, "Lord, maybe you can help me, because she's a strange and evil child" 
Still, I'm tryin' to please my woman but she 'bout to drive me wild 
I buy her hundred dollar dresses, people, 
still she complains about the style 
Won't somebody give me a suggestion? 
Help me with this evil child 
Oh, maybe the Lord in heaven above can help me
