Poison ivy of the heart

I'm tangled up in you

If I could figure where you start

Then I'd know what to do

To finally get you out my brain

You're on me like a stain

I tried so hard to get you out

Yeah, you're a spill I can't remove

Baby, you're a thought

No matter what I do

You leave your residue

You think that it's okay

If I would rather stay

A souvenir for me to feel
