Lyrics[]

What'cha hidin',
Where you runnin',
Baby, you've been up to something
Don't you tell me it's not
What it looks like

Had my heart,
But you tore right through it
Had your chance,
But you went and blew it
I might have been naïve,
But I'm not blind

You done me in, oh
You done me wrong
Got me good baby,
Good as gone

Don't you know you should
Know better than this
Than to cover up the truth
With the poison kiss
I'm not fallin for it this time

Try and try too little too late
Better open up your mouth,
You got somethin' to say
Don't keep me waitin'
Don't keep me hangin' on a lie

Think you made your great escape but
I'll be the one who got away when you
Finally figure it out,
You won't find me

You done me in, oh
You done me wrong
Got me good baby,
Good as gone

Don't you know you should
Know better than this
Than to cover up the truth
With a poison kiss
I'm not fallin for it this time

Try and try too little too late
Better open up your mouth,
You got somethin' to say
Don't keep me waitin'
Don't keep me hangin' on a lie

Don't you know you should
Know better than this
Than to cover up the truth
With a poison kiss
I'm not fallin for it this time

Try and try too little too late
Better open up your mouth,
You got somethin' to say
Don't keep me waitin'
Don't keep me hangin' on a lie

Don't keep me waitin'
Don't keep me hangin' on a lie
