I ain't playin' dirty no more
My eyes, they just don't blaze without you
Yeah, just whispers and sighs, that's the score
And we'll be cuttin' those anchors loose, it's true

I dropped my tears on his collarbone
Burnin' with his stare, then dropped 'em again
Sweet nothin's in bed, all alone

I dropped sweet nothin's, yeah
With poison thorns, your hands tore at the rose
Didn't fear the venom, didn't care what they suppose
Screw what they suppose

Be the poison, baby, yeah, the poison
What a good guy, though
Like a drunk fool, yeah, drunk fool
Huggin' a rose with thorns, you know
And the rose, oh, the rose, she wanted to love him so
But the danger's pose
To break those thorns on his body, let 'em go

What a good guy, though
Like a drunk fool, yeah, drunk fool
Wanted to love him so

Just birds flew in reply, see
From my lashes straight at you
Got those needles stickin' in deep, yeah, me
But I can't do nothin' else, it's true

Ice and fire in your veins
Fannin' the flames of passion, insane
Stealin' the quiet from the nights, the same
Fannin' the flames, yeah
Sweetness lingered on our lips, a taste
Forbidden fruit, no need to chase
This sad dance, a waste
You're mine or nobody's, in this place
Only mine or nobody's, in this place
