(matraca berg/jimmy fadden)
Why do i lie here like this
paralyzed by the truth in your kiss
you think that i don't know there's someone else
i should get up and go, but i'm not feeling well
There's a slow poison inside of me
a slow poison, killing me by degrees
it's a strong potion, love and jealousy
Don't tell me it's all in my mind
i ain't gonna fall for that this time
i'm not really holding on, can't you see?
it's just when i'm feeling strong
something brings me to my knees
There's a slow poison inside of me
a slow poison, killing me by degrees
it's a strong potion, love and jealousy
Please, please save me, say you don't love me
sometimes the venom is the only remedy
