Take a look at my eyes
Take a look at my heart
Can you say I have no more left breaths to take
Oh, your body's so high here in the sky
So strong I can't escape

You're just not good for me
Your love is poison

It has got a hold on me
Your love is poison
Do what you do to me
Your love is poison
Your love is poison
Your love is poison
Poison, poison, poison I swear to this
Poison, poison, poison I swear to this
