Lyrics

"Poisoned Heart"

Long ago I fell for you, I found out too late the things you do.
Love just ain't enough with Johnny-on-a-corkscrew waiting for you.
Now we're talking once again, long time since I heard you call my name.
Is it 'cause you need a friend, or just a chance to pick my brain?
Go away, Renee.

You've reaped rewards from love you never gave,
By charming young men into being your slaves.
When the truth comes back on you, you try to hide the things you do,
As you poison hearts, dear Renee.

Living on the edge at night, and you want to be a star by day,
You don't care what isn't right you play the games you need to play.
What is it inside of you makes you think the world belongs to you?
Isn't it enough to earn the good life that may come to you?
Go away, Renee.

You've made a killing at the business game,
By making all the old men act so lame.
When you're 'bout to take a fall you somehow rise above us all,
'Cause you poison hearts, dear Renee.

Wish I could see you put where you belong.
Wish I could fix the things that you've made wrong.
Don't think I could last that long, so I'll just write another song
'Bout my poisoned heart, dear Renee.
