Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you feel so good
Got me wrapped around your finger
Like you knew you would
'Yah we built this bridge
But you're walking on water
You crossed all the lines
You're poison to my blood and I know that its toxic
You're poison to my blood and you know I could stop it
But I love the taste of it taste of it
Never get enough of ya 'nough of ya
Try to move on be fine, I thought I'd give it some time
But I love the taste of it taste of it
Your more than a memory
That I cant forget
Girl the way you look at me
Is such a deadly sin
You know I want ya every night
You keep me on that kind of high
Trying every wrong to get it right, yah
You're poison to my blood and I know that its toxic
You're poison to my blood and you know I could stop it
But I love the taste of it taste of it
Never get enough of ya 'nough of ya
Try to move on be fine, I thought I'd give it some time
But I love the taste of it taste of it
You're queen of a good time
The reason for a late night
The only thing that felt right
You're the queen of a good time
The reason for a late night
The only thing that felt right

You know i love the taste of it
