about

Got a new PPG 2.2 Synth, thought I'd put it to use.

lyrics

I was just a boy
barely seventeen
you had the bluest eyes
that I had ever seen

i was so nieve
the day i fell for you
you made me to believe
every word you said was true
I was blinded by my youth
i finally saw the truth

Your love's a poison pill
on which I've been well fed
I know if looks could kill
I'm certain I'd be dead
Why do you stick around?
is it some twisted thrill
you'd want to strike me down
I know if looks could kill

You kept me in bliss
ignorant as well
the moment we first kissed
i was underneath your spell

pleasure was the means
you used you used to keep me in control
you crushed up all my dreams
right along with my poor soul
now i finally see
you're no good for me

Your love's a poison pill
on which I've been well fed
I know if looks could kill
I'm certain I'd be dead
Why do you stick around?
is it some twisted thrill
you'd want to strike me down
I know if looks could kill

my innocence was just
a trophy for your wall
you betrayed my trust
and made me feel so small

If Looks Could Kill
If Looks Could Kill
If Looks Could Kill
If Looks Could Kill

my heart is hard
my will is far more strong
you think you'll get me back
you couldn't be more wrong

Your love's a poison pill
on which I've been well fed
I know if looks could kill
I'm certain I'd be dead
Why do you stick around?
is it some twisted thrill
you'd want to strike me down
I know if looks could kill
