Why'd you do what you did, Little Eve, Little Eve?
Why'd you go and do it, Little Eve?
Everything was perfect, Little Eve, Little Eve
Now you've gone and thrown it all away
Once we had it all
We were young and in love
Everything was good as good could be
Swimming in the streams,
climbing up our tree
I was made for you and you for me
We were gonna be together
You and me for life
We had a little garden we could share
Our world was full of beauty
There wasn't any strife
So happy, Eve
We didn't have a care
Why'd you do what you did, Little Eve, Little Eve?
Why'd you go and do it, Little Eve?
Everything was perfect, Little Eve, Little Eve
Now you've gone and thrown it all away
How many times I warned you
but you would not believe
guys out there are gonna tell you lies
When that snake came a callin'
you were so naive
He smiled at you and you looked in his eyes
Now Eve we're in a mess
This is really bad
Those promises he made to you were fake
I feel like we are fallin'
Should've listened to your Dad
God knows that you can never trust a snake
(Chorus)
Evie, next time think twice
Oh Evie, we've lost our paradise.submitted for Poetry Picnic, Week 1, Adam and Eve, at Gooseberry Garden
