The devil will find love for idle hearts
Turns out it really will tear us apart
Another fool falls, Satan laughs
And tabulates it on charts and graphs
But it really doesn't matter to me
No, it really doesn't matter to me
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter, doesn't matter
Doesn't matter to me
Oh, I think I'm in love
Evil love
Evil love
Cupid wasn't a stupid man
He hides a tattoo of a pentagram
With bow and arrow, he's just a sniper
Disguised as a fat kid in a diaper
But it really doesn't matter to me
No, it really doesn't matter to me
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter, doesn't matter
Doesn't matter to me
Yeah, I think I'm in love
I think I'm in love
Evil love
Evil love
Let me further elucidate
You can't beat, defeat, or cheat your fate
If you should get caught in the crosshairs
Close your eyes and say your prayers
That it really can't hurt you this time
No, it really shouldn't hurt you this time
Couldn't hurt you, couldn't hurt you, shouldn't hurt you
Couldn't hurt you this time
I think you're in love
Evil love
Evil love
I think I'm in love
Evil love
Evil love
about
"Love Evil Love" was originally released by Brett Vargo as a single on Valentine's Day, 2009, to eMusic and on MySpace (yeah, that seems like a long time ago). It touched the very bottom depths of the eMusic alternative charts at the time, and was featured on the 2009 album Electric Celebration. Now, on the song's 10th anniversary, we present a new mix with some new vocal and guitar elements. Happy Valentine's Day!

Lyrics:
The devil will find love for idle hearts
Turns out it really will tear us apart
Another fool falls, Satan laughs
And tabulates it on charts and graphs
But it really doesn't matter to me
No, it really doesn't matter to me
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter, doesn't matter
Doesn't matter to me
Oh, I think I'm in love
Evil love
Evil love
Cupid wasn't a stupid man
He hides a tattoo of a pentagram
With bow and arrow, he's just a sniper
Disguised as a fat kid in a diaper
But it really doesn't matter to me
No, it really doesn't matter to me
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter, doesn't matter
Doesn't matter to me
Yeah, I think I'm in love
I think I'm in love
Evil love
Evil love
Let me further elucidate
You can't beat, defeat, or cheat your fate
If you should get caught in the crosshairs
Close your eyes and say your prayers
That it really can't hurt you this time
No, it really shouldn't hurt you this time
Couldn't hurt you, couldn't hurt you, shouldn't hurt you
Couldn't hurt you this time
I think you're in love
Evil love
Evil love
I think I'm in love
Evil love
Evil love
I think I'm in love
