Don’t play around
She’s bringin’ down
It goes down real neat
And, like Romeo,
(Don’t play around)
Baby, I kno-o-o-w:
It’s not a passing phase
To really hit the spot
So slow
With poison
Don’t play around with poison, Boy
She’s bringin’ down
Don’t play around
It doesn’t take a lot
Oh…
And, there’s a bottle on the shelf
She’s bringin’ it down
It’s kind of sweet
She’s bringin’ down the poison
But, you’ll find out real soon
She’s bringin’ down the poison, Boy
But, nothin’ seems to check
She gave no warning of this strange effect
Don’t play around
So slow you won’t even know
Poison is slow
Oh, no…
Don’t play around
Don’t play around with poison
It goes down real neat
With poison
With poison
She knows it’s strong
She’s screamin’ like a phone off the hook too long
She’s bringin’ it down
You think you’re immune
With poison…
It doesn’t take a lot
(Don’t play around)
To really hit the spot
That coats his eyes with glaze
Baby, I know:
(Don’t play around)
With poison
It’s kind of sweet
And, like Romeo,
With poison
(Don’t play around)
Checkin’ it out
