She's Bringing Down the Poison Lyrics

She's screamin' like a phone off the hook too long
And, there's a bottle on the shelf
She knows it's strong
You think you're immune
But, you'll find out real soon
She's bringin' down the poison
She's bringin' down the poison, Boy
Don't play around with poison
Don't play around with poison, Boy

Checkin' it out
But, nothin' seems to check
She gave no warning of this strange effect
It's not a passing phase
That coats his eyes with glaze

It's a kind of sweet
It goes down real neat
It doesn't take a lot
To really hit the spot
And, like Romeo,
Baby, I know:
Poison is slow
So slow you won't even know
So slow
It's a kind of sweet
It goes down real neat
It doesn't take a lot
To really hit the spot
And, like Romeo,
Baby, I kno-o-o-w:
Oh...

(Don't play around)
She's bringin' down
(Don't play around)
She's bringin' it down
(Don't play around)
She's bringin' down
(Don't play around)
She's bringin' it down
[Bob Elsey on the guitar, folks!]

Oh, no...
Don't play around
Don't play around
Don't play around
Don't play around

With poison
With poison
With poison
With poison
With poison
With poison...
