Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
You're bad for me, I clearly get it
I don't see how something good
Could come from loving you
The death of me must be your mission
'Cause with every hug and kiss
You're snatching every bit of strength
That I'm gon' need to fight off the inevitable
And it's a heartbreaking situation I'm up in
But I can't control
You're just like poison
Slowly moving through my system
Breaking all of my defenses with time
You're just like poison
And I just don't get it
How can something so deadly feel so right?
I'm not sure of what to do, it's a catch 22
'Cause the cure is found in you, I don't want it, but I do
You're just like poison
My affliction, I'm addicted, I can't lie
Kiss me one more time before I die
You ain't right, take me high
Then that high, it subsides and my body flat-lines
Then you come to revive, wait, wait, wait, I'm alive
But how long will it last? Will it all come crashing down?
How many doses am I needing now?
What's the prognosis? Will you be around?
Or am I just another victim
Of an assassin that broke my heart down
Baby, you're just like poison
Slowly moving through my system
Breaking all of my defenses with time
You're just like poison
And I just don't get it
How can something so deadly feel so right?
I'm not sure of what to do, it's a catch 22
'Cause the cure is found in you, I don't want it, but I do
You're just like poison
My affliction, I'm addicted, I can't lie
Kiss me one more time before I die
It's just not my body (no)
It's my mind, you don't know how many times
I told myself this can't do
And that I don't need you (no, I don't need you, no)
It's so unfair that I find myself right back in your care
And what's good is that when you're not always there (there, there)
You're no good for my health, my health
You're just like poison (whoa, whoa, whoa)
You're just like poison (whoa, whoa, whoa)
You're just like poison
Slowly moving through my system
Breaking all of my defenses with time
You're just like poison
And I just don't get it
How can something so deadly feel so right?
I'm not sure of what to do, it's a catch 22
'Cause the cure is found in you, I don't want it, but I do
You're just like poison
My affliction, I'm addicted, I can't lie
Baby, kiss me one more time
You're just like poison
Slowly moving through my system
Breaking all of my defenses with time
You're just like poison
And I just don't get it
How can something so deadly feel so right?
I'm not sure of what to do, it's a catch 22
'Cause the cure is found in you, I don't want it, do
You're just like poison
I'm addicted, I can't lie
Kiss me one more time before I die
