  • I like the way you smile at me
    I felt the heat that enveloped me
    And what I saw I liked to see
    I never knew where evil grew

    I should have steered away from you
    My friend told me to keep clear of you
    But something drew me near to you
    I never knew where evil grew

    Evil grows in the dark
    Where the sun it never shines
    Evil grows in cracks and holes
    And lives in people's minds

    Evil grew, it's part of you
    And now it seems to be
    That every time I look at you
    Evil grows in me

    If I could build a wall around you
    I could control the thing that you do
    But I couldn't kill the will within you
    And it never shows
    The place where evil grows

    Evil grows in the dark
    Where the sun it never shines
    Evil grows in cracks and holes
    And lives in people's minds

    Evil grew, it's part of you
    And now it seems to be
    That every time I look at you
    Evil grows in me Writer/s: TERRANCE ROSS JACKS
