Poison Lovers

Steve Earle Poison Lovers written by Steve Earle Steve Earle vocals/12 string guitar David Steele guitar Brady Blade drums Kelly Looney bass Mark Stuart acoustic guitar Siobhan Kennedy vocals I was almost outta here nearly this time I saw you in my rear view mirror and I pulled up on a dime But nothing ventured nothing lost You can't say we didn't try That is unless you weighed the costs of every tear we cried Why do we do this to each other I guess we were always poison lovers If you could look me in the eyes And tell me what you see Maybe you can tell me why I let you torture me I know that your lips are soft and they sing the sweetest songs But I've been listening long enough My heart has turned to stone Why do we do this to each other I guess we were always poison lovers SOLO And Another time another place Another wind to blame cover every track and trace I'll find you just the same And even if we made our peace And went our separate ways You'd go west and I'd go east And we'd meet here in this place Why do we do this to each other I guess we were always poison lovers Why do we do this to each other I guess we were always poison lovers From Steve Earle "El Corazon" Warner Brothers Records 1997 South Nashville Music/WB Music Corp(ASCAP)
