I wanna tell you a story about a girl, that I know
I wanna give you a warnin' about a place where I don't go
She put poison in my coffee, put poison in my heart
She put poison in my bedroom, yeah, poison from the start
I've been up and I've been down with this little girl, that I just found
She's so sweet, she's so sweet, she tells me precious lies
to get that girl, to treat me right
She put poison in my coffee, put poison in my heart
She put poison in my bedroom, put poison from the start
She p-p-poison, I can't fight it
She p-p-poison, ain't complainin'
She p-p-poison, I got to watch out for myself
Why don't ya, bite somebody else
I give her honey in the night time, I give her honey in the light
I give her honey on the left hand, I give her honey on the right
I given her sweet things, baby, like diamond rings for ya, baby
Her heart pounds but it ain't too sweet
Like a jealous song with a jealous beat
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
She put poison in my coffee, put poison in my heart
She put poison in my bedroom, put poison from the start
She p-p-poison, I can't fight it
She p-p-poison, ain't complainin'
She p-p-poison, I got to watch out for myself
Why don't ya, bite somebody else, bite somebody else
She'll give me strychnine on the table
Sweet cyanide on the floor
See the cross bones on the label
Keep me comin' back for more
No, no, no
She put poison in my coffee, put poison in my heart
Well, she's a bitch and I hate to complain
She put poison in my bedroom, put poison from the start
She put poison in my bedroom
She p-p-poison, I can't fight it
She p-p-poison, ain't complainin'
She p-p-poison, I got to watch out for myself
Why don't ya, bite somebody else, oh
