Pretty Little Poison Lyrics
Every night, 'round about this time
It's like she knows I'm lonely
Rolls up when the wine is gone
Like a record on repeat
Leanin' on old memories
And talkin' 'bout what used to be
She'll probably be the death of me
But damn if it ain't sweet
[Chorus]
She's my pretty little poison
My heartache in the night
With a kiss on her lips just like cyanide
Yeah, she came with a warnin'
But I didn't mind
I'll go out on that high every time
She's my pretty little poison
My pretty littlе poison
[Verse 2]
Shadows dancin' down the hall
Whispers that she wants mе
Try my best not to fall
When she falls into me
We all need some kind of fix
For me, she's the one I'll pick
Nothin' else will do the trick
She's all I need
She's my pretty little poison
My heartache in the night
With a kiss on her lips just like cyanide
Yeah, she came with a warnin'
But I didn't mind
I'll go out on that high every time
She's my pretty little poison
My pretty little poison
[Bridge]
For some, I guess it's alcohol
I don't want none at all
I just want you
No, I just want you
[Chorus]
My pretty little poison
My heartache in the night
With a kiss on her lips just like cyanide
Yeah, she came with a warnin'
But I didn't mind
I'll go out on that high every time
She's my pretty little poison
My pretty little poison
She's my pretty little poison

You look at me, I’m all dressed in black, and you see the guy onstage and you think, ‘Oh, holy crap. This guy may seem intimidating.’ But at the end of the day, I’m actually a lover. I’m a teddy bear for the right people. So, I think, for me, that I am a lover and I put myself in situations where I tend to have gotten hurt along the way, and that’s okay. And so the overall arching theme [of the track], I say, is the faceless cowgirl [in the music video], or the faceless cowgirls, whether it’s my story to tell or it’s stories that I’ve heard from friends who’ve gone through relationships and stuff too.
