Poison

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

You're bad for me, I clearly get it

I don't see how something good

Could come from loving you

The death of me must be your mission

'Cause with every hug and kiss

You're snatching every bit of strength

That I'm gon' need to fight off the inevitable

And it's a heartbreaking situation I'm up in

But I can't control

You're just like poison

Slowly moving through my system

Breaking all of my defenses with time

You're just like poison

And I just don't get it

How can something so deadly feel so right?

I'm not sure of what to do, it's a catch 22

'Cause the cure is found in you, I don't want it, but I do

You're just like poison

My affliction, I'm addicted, I can't lie

Kiss me one more time before I die

You ain't right, take me high

Then that high, it subsides and my body flat-lines

Then you come to revive, wait, wait, wait, I'm alive

But how long will it last? Will it all come crashing down?

How many doses am I needing now?

What's the prognosis? Will you be around?

Or am I just another victim

Of an assassin that broke my heart down

Baby, you're just like poison

Slowly moving through my system

Breaking all of my defenses with time

You're just like poison

And I just don't get it

How can something so deadly feel so right?

I'm not sure of what to do, it's a catch 22

'Cause the cure is found in you, I don't want it, but I do

You're just like poison

My affliction, I'm addicted, I can't lie

Kiss me one more time before I die

It's just not my body (no)

It's my mind, you don't know how many times

I told myself this can't do

And that I don't need you (no, I don't need you, no)

It's so unfair that I find myself right back in your care

And what's good is that when you're not always there (there, there)

You're no good for my health, my health

You're just like poison (whoa, whoa, whoa)

You're just like poison (whoa, whoa, whoa)

You're just like poison

Slowly moving through my system

Breaking all of my defenses with time

You're just like poison

And I just don't get it

How can something so deadly feel so right?

I'm not sure of what to do, it's a catch 22

'Cause the cure is found in you, I don't want it, but I do

You're just like poison

My affliction, I'm addicted, I can't lie

Baby, kiss me one more time

You're just like poison

Slowly moving through my system

Breaking all of my defenses with time

You're just like poison

And I just don't get it

How can something so deadly feel so right?

I'm not sure of what to do, it's a catch 22

'Cause the cure is found in you, I don't want it, do

You're just like poison

I'm addicted, I can't lie

Kiss me one more time before I die
