Lisa Stansfield Lyrics

Album: Affection

Poison Lyrics

(L. Stansfield/I. Devaney/A. Morris) 

Spoken:

Don't worry about me, baby

Whenever you walk by me, I can here you breath

I can smell the love you made when you were gone

Darlin' don't deny it, or make excuses

I've heard too many lies, to know that I'm not wrong

Baby don't insult me

I'm too tired to let it hurt me

Baby just believe me

And give me back my key, and set me free

Chorus:

Keep you're body to yourself, or give it to somebody else

You're poison

Can't you you see I'm far to tough to let it hurt

I've had enough of your poison

Don't lay your hands upon me

Just crawl back where you came from

I shutter at the thought of you touching me

You've stained the love I gave you 

Baby, not for long

So much I could have given you

But now you'll never know

Baby don't insult me

I'm too tired to let it hurt me

Baby just believe me

And give me back my key, and set me free

Chorus

Got bad habits on your mind, you're underhanded

I'm not blind to your poison

Spoken:

Don't make me laugh, you've told so many lies

And of all the lies you told me, baby, you're the biggest

You think you've hurt me

I'm far too strong to let it get to me

Can't you see that I'm not crying anymore

So just get off my back, and leave me alone

Chorus
