lyrics

poison tongue

wish i could wash this off, make it go away
pretend it doesn't burn, that there's something i could say
to make you learn the truth, to show you how it feels
walking through a storm of lies
like the devil's at your heels

poison tongue poison tongue
make you wanna run
poison tongue poison tongue
what have you done

can't polish it up, can't rub it till it shines
can't believe your love was ever really mine
i'm not the one you've made me out to be
but i'm through defending
i'm through defending me

poison tongue poison tongue
steal your peace of mind
poison tongue poison tongue
so unkind

i can't wash this off, can't make it go away
can't pretend it doesn't sting, that there's something i could say
to make you know the truth, to show you how it feels
walking through a storm of lies
with judgement at your heels

poison tongue poison tongue
nobody's friend
poison tongue poison tongue
will it ever end

Karen Savoca Oneida, New York

Karen’s baby diary reads, "20 months, knows 6 songs." Her mother, a big band singer, was not surprised to find her constantly dancing and singing.
