Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You always liked your whiskey neat So I stirred in just a touch too sweet Little arsenic, not a heavy pour Just enough to keep you off the floor You left your boots outside again Tracked in mud and a trail of sin I said I’d kill ya if you lied But honey, I just bruised your pride [Chorus] I only poisoned you a little Just enough to make you brittle Didn’t want you dead, just slowed down Ain’t no fun if you ain’t around You broke my heart, I bruised your liver A dose of love with just a sliver Next time don’t go playin’ the fiddle When you’re dancin’ with a girl this fickle [Verse 2] Doctor said you needed rest Didn’t mention all that in your chest Those pills you take, well bless your soul I just swapped ‘em for a jelly roll Your mama cried, said “She looks pale” I said, “She's just weak and kind of frail” She’ll bounce back, she's tough as steel Unless she skips another meal... --- [Chorus] I only poisoned you a little Just enough to make you brittle Didn’t want you dead, just half-asleep A lesson you were bound to keep You hurt me deep, I stirred your dinner Now you're slow, but I’m the winner Next time maybe be more civil When your girl’s got hands this nimble [Bridge – Spoken with twang] I didn’t mean to watch you sweat Or read your will on the internet… I just wanted you to feel the burn The way I did when you didn't return [Final Chorus] I only poisoned you a little Like a riddle in your Skittles Didn’t wanna see you flatline, babe Just limp around and misbehave So if you cheat, just know the drill You might wake up feelin’ ill But I’ll be smilin’, calm and civil… 'Cause I only poisoned you… a little
