Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heels all on the floor
Why did I invite you
We been through all this before
Now my hairs a mess
And you got lipstick on your chin
Now it's 3 am
And you blowin my line again
When you get lonely
When we in public
You act like you don't know me
All the back and forth and
Now we're back in love again
Know we just like poison
Prolly better off as friends
One too many
Two too many
Three too many
Four
One more shot of dusse
We gone end up the floor
Love me, love me, like I
Love you, love you
And if I let you in
Could I trust you
Trust you?
You know how much I hate
For you to go
Know you're no good
But you make me feel whole
I try to fight you
But I'm glad that you came
High off your touch
And It, drives me insane
I try not to call you
But I get lonely
I'd rather argue
Then not have you to hold me
All the back and forth and
Now we're back in love again
Know we just like poison
Prolly better off as friends
(Ha ha ha hahaaa
Ha ha ha hahaaa
Ha ha ha haha
Ha ha ha haha)
One too many
Two too many
Three too many
Four
One more shot of dusse
We gone end up the floor
Love me, love me, like I
Love you, love you
And if I let you in
Could I trust you
Trust you?
One too many
Two too many
Three too many
Four
One more shot of dusse
We gone end up the floor
Love me, love me, like I
Love you, love you
And if I let you in
Could I trust you
Trust you?
In the song Poison by Simone Telease, the lyrics describe a dysfunctional relationship between the singer and her lover. They have been through this cycle of breaking up, getting back together, and fighting again. The setting is a bedroom where the remnants of their passion like her shirt on the dresser and her heels on the floor are scattered around. The singer expresses her frustration with their routine, she doesn't understand why she got back with him, and now she has to deal with another fight. Although she's angry, she can't resist his touch, and it drives her insane, so she keeps coming back to him. They argue and make up, and she knows their relationship is like poison, although she is torn between wanting him and knowing it's better to be friends.
The chorus repeats the words "One too many, Two too many, Three too many, Four," emphasizing how they have reached the limit of their tolerance. They seem to turn to alcohol to forget their problems with "One more shot of dusse," and it only ends with both of them on the floor. The singer admits that she loves him, but she is not sure if she can trust him. She is aware that their relationship is toxic, but she can't walk away from it.
