Lyrics:
|
Got a feel for danger now Hey Mr. Moonlight won't you follow me down I need some company Every guy tells me you're no good That's all right with me Give me one shot of poison A little twist is all I need One drop of your sweet poison Sets me free Come on baby, poison me Got a hunger for a fatal attraction I'm savin' all my passion for you I got a heart break habit that I can't kick Only you can ease the pain I'm a midnight animal trying to score Before I go insane Give me one shot of poison A little twist is all I need One drop of your sweet poison Sets me free One shot of poison A little taste of paradise One drop of your sweet poison Satisfies Give me one last kiss before I die I'm flying high Oh, I want your love - tonight Baby, one shot of poison A little twist is all I need One drop of your sweet poison Sets me free One shot of poison A little taste of paradise One drop of your sweet poison Satisfies One shot of poison Come on baby, poison me One drop of your sweet poison Sets me free One shot of poison |
