T-Bone Burnett - Poison Love Lyrics

For your poison love has stained the life blood in my heart and soul, dear
And I know my life will never be the same
For my pleadings have all been in vain for you and you alone, dear
And you know that you are guilty of the shame

Into each life a love is born for one and one alone, dear
The love I chose was surely not for me
For your poison love has stained the life blood in my heart and soul, dear
And I know our love was never meant to be

For your poison love has stained the life blood in my heart and soul, dear
And I know my life will never be the same
For my pleadings have all been in vain for you and you alone, dear
And you know that you are guilty of the shame

But still my heart cries out for you and you alone my darling
And begs me never ever let you go
But my pleadings have all been in vain for your and you alone, dear
And my better judgment tells me to say no

For your poison love has stained the life blood in my heart and soul, dear
And I know my life will never be the same
For my pleadings have all been in vain for you and you alone, dear
And you know that you are guilty of the shame
