Poisonous Love Lyrics - Jemaine Clement

My darling, while you sleep 

All is well, we are friends and that's swell 

But the truth is that I have a secret to tell 

I love you 

People say it's wrong, it's absurd 

That a frog and a bird 

Are in love, but I know in my heart 

This was so meant to be 

'Cause I love you so much 

Too bad we can't touch 

If we did you would die 

And that would be such 

A really big drag 

If only we could could hug and could kiss 

Be in heavenly bliss 

But your lungs would explode 

And you'd look just like this 

As you'd hemorrhage and gag 

Oh excuse me 

Romeo, juliet 

Were in love but I bet 

It was nothing compared 

To the feeling I get 

Around you 

You don't even know that I'm there 

You don't see that I care 

Could it be that for me 

You're not even aware? 

That I'm perfect for you? 

'Cause I'm never-ever mean, never lie 

And I'm sweeter than pie 

And I'm thoughtful and gentle 

And timid and shy 

And tender and loving 

And true 

But darling, protect you I will 

Don't worry, just chill 

'Cause there isn't a bird that I wouldn't kill 

For you 

Can't you see 

Oh, we were destined to be? 

For we have love 

Poisonous love 

I know 

Yes, I know 

That you can't hold me (feel me close now) 

Your loving wings enfold me 

Fate told me 

Love 

Poisonous love 

Standing here 

You're so near and yet so far (like a star) 

Here we are 

What to do (to do) 

Oh, poo 

You're my romeo, I'm juliet 

We are so perfect and yet 

If we touch, not by much 

Still, on all you can bet 

It's good-bye 

And I'll cry 

As you die 

From our poisonous love
