[Verse 1]
Evelyn, Evelyn, they're all asking where we've been
And I don't know what to say to keep them all away
Part of me wishes what they're saying was true
Wishes that I could ever be with you
Evelyn, Evelyn, I won't tell them anything
But somebody saw us and their minds are wandering
I could live happily in the stories they tell
Happy with you and nobody else

[Chorus]
Evelyn, our relationship was strictly platonic
If platonic means I was madly in love with you
And a part of you was oblivious
Another part of you knew and kind of liked it

[Verse 2]
Evelyn, Evelyn, I will go with you then
I don't want you alone if they're out there picketing
It's on the way back to my dad's house
I can't believe some of the shit that comes out their mouths
Evelyn, Evelyn, you were so quiet and then
You said, "I don't regret a single thing
Everyone argues about when life begins
Nobody talks about when the love begins"
[Chorus]
Evelyn, our relationship was strictly platonic
If platonic means I was madly in love with you
And a part of you was oblivious
Another part of you knew and kinda liked it
Evelyn, our relationship was strictly platonic
If platonic means I was madly in love with you
And a part of you was oblivious
Another part of you knew and kinda liked it

[Outro]
Evelyn, Evelyn
