Lyrics: Beyoncé. Poison.

:
you're bad for me
I clearly get it
I don't see how something good could come from lovin' you
the death of me
must be your mission
cause with every hug and kiss
you're snatching a bit of strength
that I'm gon' need
to fight off the inevitable
and it's a heartbreaking
situation
I'm up in but I can't control

(chorus)
you're just like poison
slowly moving through my system
breaking all of my defenses with time
you're just like poison
and I just don't get it
how could something so deadly feel so right

I'm not sure of what to do
It's a catch twenty two
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

you ain't right
take me high
then that high
it subsides
then by body flatlines
then you come to revive
wait wait wait I'm alive
but how long will 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 an assassin that broke my heart down

baby you're just like poison
slowly movin through my system
breakin all of my defenses with time
youre just like poison
and I just dont get it
how could somethin so deadly feel so right

I'm not sure of what to do
It's a catch twenty two
cause the cure is found in you
I dont want it but I do

youre just like poison
my affliction
I'm addicted
I can't lie
kiss me one more time before I die

(bridge)
it's just not my body
it's my mind you don't know how many times I told myself this cant do
and that I don't need you (no I don't need you)
it's so unfair
that I find myself right back in your care
and what's good is that when you're not always there (there there)
you know that from my health
my health

you're just like poison
woah
woah
woah
you're just like poison
woah
woah
woah
you're just like poison

you're just like poison
slowly movin through my system
breakin all of my defenses with time
youre just like poison
and I just dont get it
how could somethin so deadly feel so right

I'm not sure of what to do
It's a catch twenty two
cause the cure is found in you
I dont 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

youre just like poison
slowly movin through my system
breakin all of my defenses with time
youre just like poison
and I just dont get it
how could somethin so deadly feel so right

I'm not sure of what to do
It's a catch twenty two
cause the cure is found in you
I dont wanna do it

you're just like poison
I'm addicted
I can't lie
kiss me one more time before I die
