The Root of All Evil (Is a Man)

(Jeri Jones)



You've heard that old story ever since time began

That money is root of all evil

Well, let me tell you mine it's much older than time

For the root of all evil is a man.



They'll tell you that they love you

And will until they die

But you'll find them out with someone else

Before a tear come alive and it's dry.



So girls take my advice think it over once or twice

For the root of all evil is a man.

Sure there's honky tonk girls but before you condemn

And look at her with storm in your eyes

Hive her just a friendly smile hear her troubles for a while

For the cause of her trouble was a man.



They'll tell you that they love you

And will until they die

But you'll find them out with someone else

Before a tear come alive and it's dry.



So girls take my advice think it over once or twice

For the root of all evil is a man...
