Poison
Beyoncé · Other Songs - Beyoncé
Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh
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 yo mission cause with every
Hug an kiss you snatching every bit of strength
That I'm gon need to fight off the inevitable
An it's a heart breaking situation I'm up in but I can't control
Chorus:
You're just like poison
Slowing moving thru my system breaking all of
My defenses with time
You're just like poison
An I just don't get it how could something so
Deadly feel so right, I'm not sure of what to do
Its 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
Verse II:
You ain't right take me high
Then that high it subsides an my body flat lines
Then you come to revive, wait, wait, wait I'm alive
But how long with 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 a an assassin that broke my heart down
Chorus:
Baby you're just like poison
Slowing moving thru my system breaking all of
My defenses with time
You're just like poison
An I just don't get it how could something so
Deadly feel so right, I'm not sure of what to do
Its 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
Breakdown:
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 (Can't do),
An that I don't need you (No I don't need you)
It's so unfair, (Unfair) that I find myself right back in your care (Care)
An what's good is that when you are not always there (there, there)
You're no good for my health, my health,
You're just like poison, Ooww, Ooww, Ooww
You're just like poison, Ooww, Ooww, Ooww
Chorus:
You're just like poison
Slowing moving thru my system breaking all of
My defenses with time
You're just like poison
An I just don't get it how could something so
Deadly feel so right, I'm not sure of what to do
Its 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
Chorus:
You're just like poison
Slowing moving thru my system breaking all of
My defenses with time
You're just like poison
An I just don't get it how could something so
Deadly feel so right, I'm not sure of what to do
Its a catch 22, cause the cure is found in you
I don't wanna do,
You're just like poison
I'm addicted I can't lie
Kiss me one more time before I die
You're bad for me
I clearly get it
I don't see how something good could come from loving you
