Love On The Rocks
Poison · Double Dose: Ultimate Hits [2011]
She goes down slow like a shot of gin
She's got an angel's face and the devil's grin
She kinda stared me down as I looked her up
She said "I'm your poison, now you drink a cup."
In the heat of the night is when she comes alive
She's gonna push you push you til she's satisfied
I watch the ice melt fast on her red hot lips
She whispers "If you wanna taste my love why don't you swallow this."
CHORUS:
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks
She's my shot
Love on the rocks
Ooooh lick it up
She gets so damn close you can feel her breathe
Just the way she moves, soft and slippery
She lives just around the corner, just down the street
All night we played the horizontal bop right between the sheets
Love on the rocks
Love on the rocks
She's my shot
Love on the rocks
Love On The Rocks
