Toxic
Glee Cast (Britney Spears cover) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, can't you see
I'm calling
A guy like you should wear a warning
It's dangerous
I'm falling

There's no escape
I can't wait
I need a hit
Baby, give me it
You're dangerous
I'm loving it

Too high
Can't come down
Losin' my head spinnin' 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now'

With the taste of your lips I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With the taste of the poison paradise
I'm addicted to you, don't you know that you're toxic
And I love what you do, don't you know that you're toxic

It's gettin' late
To give you up
I took a sip
From my devil's cup
Slowly, it's taking over me

Too high
Can't come down
It's in the air it's all around
Oh can you feel me now?

With the taste of your lips I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With the taste of the poison paradise
I'm addicted to you, don't you know that you're toxic
And I love what you do, don't you know that you're toxic
Don't you know that you're toxic

With the taste of your lips I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With the taste of the poison paradise
I'm addicted to you, don't you know that you're toxic
And I love what you do, don't you know that you're toxic

With the taste of the poison paradise
I'm addicted to you, don't you know that you're toxic

Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now
I think I'm ready now
Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now

Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now




I think I'm ready
I think I'm ready now

Overall Meaning

The Glee Cast's version of the song "Toxic" is a cover of Britney Spears' hit song. The lyrics depict a tale of love that is so powerful it is almost intoxicating. The singer warns the object of their affection that being with them is dangerous and addictive. The chorus speaks to this addiction and the inability to resist the allure of the other person. The bridge of the song describes the singer's surrender to this feeling, and their readiness to fully be intoxicated by their lover's affection.


The lyrics of "Toxic" are open to interpretation, but they could represent a dangerously passionate relationship. The artist is describing a relationship that is toxic, yet the allure of the other person is so powerful that they are unable to resist. This can be seen in the repetition of the phrase "don't you know that you're toxic?" which could be interpreted as a plea for the object of the songwriter's love to stop being so seductive.

Baby, can't you see I'm calling?
A guy like you should wear a warning
It's dangerous, I'm falling
There's no escape, I can't wait
I need a hit, baby, give me it
You're dangerous, I'm loving it
Too high, can't come down
Losing my head, spinnin' 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now?
With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slippin' under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?
It's getting late to give you up
I took a sip from my devil's cup
Slowly, it's taking over me
Too high, can't come down
It's in the air and it's all around
Can you feel me now?
With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slippin' under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do

With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride

Don't you know that you're toxic?
Intoxicate me now, with your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now, I think I'm ready now
Intoxicate me now, with your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now
