Poison Love    (mrs. Elmer Laird)

All your poison love stained my life,
but in my heart it's so dear
and I'll know my life will never be the same

All my pleading 's ever been in vain
for you and only you dear
and I know you're guilty of the shame

Into each life some rain must fall   *
for one and one alone dear
the love I chose was surely not for me

cause your love just let me down  *
and left my heart a crying
and I know you're guilty of the shame

Into each life a love is born  **
for one and one alone dear
the love I chose was surely not for me

All your poison love stained my life,   **
but in my heart it's so dear
and I know our love would never meant to be

Still my heart cries out for you   **
you alone my darling
and begging never ever let you go

but my pleading's ever been in vain  **
for you and you alone dear
and my better judgement tells me to say no  

All your poison love stained my life,
but in my heart it's so dear
and I'll know my life will never be the same

All my pleading 's ever been in vain
for you and only you dear
and I know you're guilty of the shame
