Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Your cruel device

Your blood, like ice

One look could kill

My pain, your thrill

[Chorus]

I wanna love you, but I better not touch (Don't touch)

I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop

I wanna kiss you, but I want it too much (Too much)

I wanna taste you, but your lips are venomous poison

[Chorus]

You're poison running through my veins

You're poison

I don't wanna break these chains

[Verse 2]

Your mouth, so hot

Your web, I'm caught

Your skin so wet

Black lace on sweat

[Chorus]

I hear you calling and it's needles and pins (And pins)

I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name

Don't wanna touch you, but you're under my skin (Deep in)

I wanna kiss you, but your lips are venomous poison

[Chorus]

You're poison running through my veins

You're poison

I don't wanna break these chains

Poison

[Verse 3]

One look could kill

My pain, your thrill

[Chorus]

I wanna love you, but I better not touch (Don't touch)

I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop

I wanna kiss you, but I want it too much (Too much)

I wanna taste you, but your lips are venomous poison

[Chorus]

You're poison running through my veins

You're poison

I don't wanna break these chains

Poison (Poison)

[Chorus]

I wanna love you, but I better not touch (Don't touch)

I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop

I wanna kiss you, but I want it too much (Too much)

I wanna taste you, but your lips are venomous poison (Yeah)

[Chorus]

Well, I don't wanna break these chains

Poison, oh no (Poison)

Running deep inside my veins

Burning deep inside my veins (Poison)

It's poison (Poison)

I don't wanna break these chains (Poison, poison)

Poison (Poison)

I don't wanna break these chains (Poison)
