you need a little bit of poison

you need a little bit of poison

you need a little bit of poison

to keep you strong



first love is the hardest

cut you like a knife

if it doesn't kill you

you get on with your life

wind and rain and stormy weather

love and pain just run together



you need a little bit of poison

you need a little bit of poison

you need a little bit of poison

to keep you strong



second time sweet and kind

look out or you'll fall

think you'll leave her love behind

it ain't that way at all

she's on your mind night and day

but she's a million miles away



you need a little bit of poison

you need a little bit of poison

you need a little bit of poison

to keep you strong



the way you love me leaves me weak

too weak to even cry

if you go you'll kill me

girl, don't even try

first a little then a little more

make me forget where I been before



I need a little bit of poison

I need a little bit of poison

I need a little bit of poison

to keep me strong
