You’re Poison

I know better…

Still, here I go again

One look from you

And I’m right back where I’ve been

I was doing fine, walking my own line

Then you came along and changed my mind

With that dangerous smile and those midnight eyes

You turn every warning into alibis

You say, “Stay a little, just one more night”

I know it’s wrong, but it feels so right

I should walk away, but I want you near

You make my good sense disappear

I know your touch is bad for me

Still, you bring out what I want to be

You’re poison running through my veins

Sweet as heaven, burning like a flame

I swear I’m leaving, then I call your name

You break my heart, I come back just the same

You’re poison, and I know it’s true

Every time I quit, I fall back into you

I should run, but I want you too

I’m losing myself in the pull of you

I used to sleep when the sun went down

Now I’m chasing your shadow all over town

You talk me into one more drink

One more kiss before I stop and think

I say, “This is the last,” but you just laugh

Pull me close, and I forget the past

Tomorrow morning, I’ll blame tonight

But in your arms, everything feels right

I know your touch is bad for me

Still, you bring out what I want to be

You’re poison running through my veins

Sweet as heaven, burning like a flame

I swear I’m leaving, then I call your name

You break my heart, I come back just the same

You’re poison, and I know it’s true

Every time I quit, I fall back into you

I should run, but I want you too

I’m losing myself in the pull of you

Maybe I’m hooked, maybe I’m gone

Maybe I knew it all along

You’re trouble dressed in a sweet disguise

And I keep falling for those eyes

I tell myself I’m breaking free

But you know exactly what to say to me

One little smile, and I’m back in your room

One little kiss, and I’m back in your bloom

You’re poison running through my veins

Sweet as heaven, burning like a flame

I swear I’m leaving, then I call your name

You break my heart, I come back just the same

You’re poison, and I know it’s true

Every time I quit, I fall back into you

I should run, but I want you too

I’m losing myself in the pull of you

You’re poison, but I want you close

You’re the one thing I can’t let go

I know your love will leave me bruised

Still, I choose you, I choose you

I know you’re bad

But I want you near

I know you’re poison

Still, I keep you here
