Like this I've never seen a woman baby
That looks quite the way you do
The way you shake that thing now honey,
Can't take my eyes off you

The way you work it honey
It brings me to my knees
You give me what I'm looking for,
I'll give you what you need
And I said

[Chorus]
I got the one thing you want,
Get it all night long
You got the one thing I need,
When your body talks
I hear it talking to me
Say, get it all night long
Woman why can't you see
You're my one thing

I got a world of trouble, baby
It's going on inside my head
Playing your game, got me half insane
Trying to make sense of every word you said

Stop beating around the bush
You're just wasting time
Let's get down to the business honey
And lay it one the line
And I said

[Chorus]

Tell me the news,
Let's hear your story
You think you got nothing to lose
You better use it up
Before it gets old, baby
And becomes yesterday's news

[Chorus]

Poison

In the context of biology, poisons are substances that cause disturbances to organisms, usually by chemical reaction or other activity on the molecular scale, when a sufficient quantity is absorbed by an organism. The fields of medicine (particularly veterinary) and zoology often distinguish a poison from a toxin, and from a venom. Toxins are poisons produced by some biological function in nature, and venoms are usually defined as toxins that are injected by a bite or sting to cause their effect, while other poisons are generally defined as substances absorbed through epithelial linings such as the skin or gut. more »
