Oh, can I explain myself to you?

Questions been lurking through my mind

Is it the lover for the time?

I've given my heart, my joy, my soul to you

If it is real, I sure can't see

Gotta start lookin' out for me

And in my, my heart won't take no more

I know you say that I don't care

Sometimes my way of life ain't fair

I feel it's sad for me, you take the chance

So you are givin' me no choice

I think I must exercise my voice and say

This feeling, there's no drug that can compare

You're so cold, I can't see your breath, I swear

And they told me not to fall in love

Wondering where it all went wrong

You were my poison all along

Late at night I lay awake in tears and pain (tears and pain)

Askin' my heart for: What went wrong? (hey)

Askin' myself: What's goin' on?

Oh, come on, we seem to see things eye to eye (eye to eye)

Somehow I didn't feel the danger (hey)

And now I'm sleeping with a stranger

To see all these years, we flushed them down the drain (down the drain)

Was that a love we can't promise?

Now it's too late for both of us

No regrets for what we lost and what we shared

Maybe tomorrow we'll love again

But until then we'll stay as friends, oh, one day

This feeling, there's no drug that can compare

You're so cold, I can't see your breath, I swear

They told me not to fall in love

Wondering where it all went wrong

You were my poison all along

Yeah

Poison all long, ooh-yeah

Oh-oh-ooh

Babygirl, poison all along
