Lyrics Love Is a Necessary Evil - Blossom Dearie

Love is a necessary evil
A very contrary hereditary evil
Can′t live with it, can't live without it
Can′t do a doggone thing about it
You want the pleasure, you've got to take the pain
Cause love is a necessary evil
An evolutionary, interplanetary evil
Your heart's pounding, you get excited
Play with a flame and you′re ignited,
Time out for crying here comes a load of rain
Who wants it?
That thrill of a warm embrace
Who needs it
No one but the whole human race
Cause love is a necessary evil
A very arbitrary extraordinary evil
Natural things that women and men do
Can′t be changed
There's nothin′ you can do
Love is a necessary evil
Love is a necessary evil
A very arbitrary extraordinary evil
Natural things that women and men do
Can't be changed
There′s nothin' you can do
Love is a necessary evil
Since time began the wisest of men have found
This evil makes the world go round
