Necessary Evil Lyrics

Transform into the animal you need to
Fly from a destiny infested with chemicals
You need a new drug not invented by the CIA
I wanna be your friend but don't have the self-control
We're in love
But I don't get what you see in me

Lovin' me could be your fatal flaw
Just hangin' in here trying to be your
Necessary evil
Necessary evil

Nobody can get a tan in the moonlight
Come on inside, tell me is it just a bit too much?
He drooled on a pillow, it looked like an angel
She hit a blunt but it would not chill her out at all
We're in love
But she don't get what I see in her

Lovin' me could be your fatal flaw
Just hangin' in here trying to be your
Necessary evil
Necessary evil
Lovin' me could be your fatal flaw
Just hangin' in here trying to be your
Necessary evil
Necessary evil

Transform into the animal you need to
Fly from a destiny infested with chemicals
You need a new drug not invented by the CIA
I wanna be your friend but don't have the self-control
We're in love
But I don't get what you see in me

Lovin' me could be your fatal flaw
Just hangin' in here trying to be your
Necessary evil
Necessary evil
Lovin' me could be your fatal flaw
Just hangin' in here trying to be your
Necessary evil
Necessary evil
Necessary evil
Necessary evil
Necessary evil
Necessary evil
Necessary evil
Necessary evil
Necessary evil
