Evil eye

The evil eye is a curse believed to be cast by a malevolent glare, usually given to a person when they are unaware. Many cultures believe that receiving the evil eye will cause misfortune or injury.Talismans created to protect against the evil eye are also frequently called "evil eyes".

The idea expressed by the term causes many different cultures to pursue protective measures against it. The concept and its significance vary widely among different cultures, primarily in West Asia. The idea appears several times in translations of the Old Testament. It was a widely extended belief among many Mediterranean and Asian tribes and cultures. Charms and decorations with eye-like symbols known as nazars, which are used to repel the evil eye are a common sight across Greece, Turkey, Albania, Egypt, Iran, Israel, Morocco, Southern Italy (Naples), the Levant, and Afghanistan and have become a popular choice of souvenir with tourists.

    Evil Eye

    by: Peter Cetera

    You've got an evil eye
    And I wanna say mama
    I can't face it for another day
    You don't even try
    And I wanna say baby
    I can't take it when you're...
    *Makin' me hurry, makin' me wait
    Takin' me early, leavin' me late
    Shakin' my feelin', makin' me cry
    Don't it sound funny
    But I'm saying bye-bye
    You've got an evil eye
    And I wanna say mama
    You can't see it any other way
    All you do is lie
    And I wanna say baby
    You know I can't stand it when you're...
    (Repeat *)
    I don't need what you're givin' me honey
    You know I don't want
    What you've got on your mind
    I don't care if you're missin' my money
    You know I don't care if you're stealin' me blind
    I'll leave you behind
    Oh well, leavin' you baby
    So long bye-bye
    Oh well, when you're drivin' me crazy
    So long bye-bye
    Oh well, don't believe it's funny
    So long bye-bye
    Oh well, now I'm movin' on honey
