"Poison Love" lyrics

"Poison Love"

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

Into each life some rain must fall
For one and one alone, dear
And the love I chose was surely not for me
'Cause your love has now let me down
And left my heart a-cryin'
But I know that you are guilty of the shame

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

Into each life some rain must fall
For one and one alone, dear
And the love I chose was surely not for me
'Cause your love has now let me down
And made me feel outside, dear
And I know that you are guilty of the shame

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

My heart cries out for you each night
Alone when each day's closing
But I know this love is surely not for me
With my poison love
I've got to live within my heart and soul, dear
And I know that you are guilty of the shame

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