I wanna tell you a story about a girl that I know

I wanna give you a warning 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

What've I got to do 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 p poison) I can't fight it

(She p p p poison) Ain't complaining'

(She p 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, give her honey in the light

I give her honey on the left hand, I give her honey on the right

I give 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

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 p poison) I can't fight it

(She p p p poison) Ain't complaining'

(She p p p poison) I got to watch out for myself

Why don't ya 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





Oh no

No no

No no

No no

No no no 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 p p poison) I can't fight her

(She put p p poison) Ain't complainin

(She put p p poison) I got to watch out for myself

Why don't ya bite somebody else

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
