[Intro (same melody as chorus, low & smoky] Your bite is poison, but I don’t care Pull me closer, take me anywhere [Verse 1 (laid-back, intimate] She don’t make a sound when she walks in the room But the air gets heavy like a coming monsoon Every look she gives me feels loaded, unfair One touch from her hand and I’m already there She ain’t gotta promise, she don’t explain She just lets me fall right into the flame I should know better, yeah I’m aware But loving her feels like a truth I can’t spare [Pre-Chorus - building tension] I feel the warning deep in my chest Yeah, I know this love ain’t good for my health Still I lean in, every single time Some sins feel better when they’re mine [Chorus (big, soulful, aching] Your bite is poison, but I don’t care Pull me closer, take me anywhere Your kiss is venom running through my veins I know it hurts, but I love the pain Your bite is poison… yeah, I know it’s true But I don’t care, girl, if it’s you Just take me anywhere Your bite is poison — and I don’t care [Verse 2 - grittier, blues tone] Midnight talking with the lights down low Every secret she keeps, I already know She’s got that smile that ruins plans Makes a good man forget who he is I hear the sirens, I hear the sound But I still let her pull me down If this is wrong, don’t make it right I’d rather lose myself tonight [Pre-Chorus 2 - half-sung, half-spoken] I know the risk, I know the cost But lonely’s worse than being lost If this is how I go out, then fine At least I felt alive one time [Chorus (full voice, rasp out] Your bite is poison, but I don’t care Pull me closer, take me anywhere Your kiss is venom running through my veins I know it hurts, but I love the pain Your bite is poison… yeah, I know it’s true But I don’t care, girl, if it’s you Just take me anywhere [Bridge - drop instruments — raw vocal] Every red flag waving in my face Every reason telling me to walk away But something about you feels like home Even if it’s hell I’m walking into alone [beat comes back, slow and heavy] I don’t need saving I don’t need prayer If loving you kills me I’m already there [Final Chorus / Outro - big but controlled, gospel-lean] Your bite is poison, but I don’t care Pull me closer, take me anywhere Your kiss is venom, I can’t fight I’ll follow you into the night Your bite is poison… yeah, I know it’s true But I don’t care, girl, if it’s you Just take me anywhere Yeah, take me anywhere [Outro - soft, fading] Poison never felt so right… Take me anywhere

Poison (I Don’t Care)
