[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
