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)
