[Verse 1]
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 your mission
`Cuz with every hug and kiss,
You`re snatching every bit of strength

That I`m gon` need to fight off the inevitable
And it`s a heart-breaking 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
`Cuz 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 2]
You ain`t right, take me high
Then that high, it subsides
And my body flat lines

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 needin` now?
What`s the prognosis, will you be around?
Or am I just another victim of an assassin that broke my heart down?

[Chorus]
Baby, 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
`Cuz 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 3]
It`s just not my body (oh),
It`s my mind you don`t know how many times I told myself this can`t do (can`t do)
And that I don`t need you
(No, I don`t need you, no)

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`re no good for my health, my health

You`re just like poison

You`re just like poison

[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
`Cuz 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

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
`Cuz 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
