Poison Venus

I don't deserve to be the least surprised
I got tangled in the web of lies
That I spun in front of both our eyes
I betrayed myself as much as you
Guess I'm not the man I thought I knew
He'd of fought instead of be seduced
Instead of turn temptation loose

I let a viper come between us
A Poison Venus
Now I'm gonna pay the price
With the loss of paradise

Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa

She had to alter my reality
To convince me that I oughtta cheat
Told her no
She went "I'll be discreet"
She said to me she'd be a secret I wouldn't have to work at all to hide
I could use her just to stroke my pride
Wish I'd had enough to say goodbye that night

I let a viper come between us
A Poison Venus
Now I'm gonna pay the price
With the loss of paradise

So go ahead and blame
Can't deny the truth
Now we're through
I see I'm not the same me
Proved himself to you

I let a viper come between us (3x)
A Poison Venus
Now I'm gonna pay the price
With the loss of paradise

Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
