Intoxicant

Love is a poison, I learnt after meeting you,

Love is a drug, I learnt after having you,

You were some other kind of alcohol, that stabbed right into my heart,

You were some intoxicant that burned me apart.

Still after having you for one time, I’m still intoxicated,

After seeing you for one time, I am still high,

All I see is you, all I want was you,

Oh, stranger what kind of intoxicant are you?
