Verse 1 Saw you looking from across the room You smiled like you’d survive the bloom I’m a garden full of warning signs But you still drank my cherry wine We kissed under the chandelier You said “forever,” I said “cheers” You fell fast, I played slow Guess I like a pretty show Pre-Chorus Call me crazy, call me cold But you’re just part of the story I told Every boy thinks they can stay ‘Til I turn love into a game Chorus I’m sweet venom, sugar with a sting Pretty face, but I bite like a queen Write your name in my little black book Kiss me once, then I’ll burn that look I’m the chaos in your calm The thunder in your charm Oh baby, you thought you could tame me — But I’m sweet venom, baby Verse 2 You said I’d never walk away But I’m poison wrapped in lingerie You broke rules, I break hearts I leave love like stolen art Kept your hoodie, left my mark Lipstick stains like battle scars You wanted love, you got fire Now you’re fuel to my empire Pre-Chorus Call me savage, call me sin But I warned you where I’d been You kissed a curse with open eyes Now all you do is fantasize Chorus I’m sweet venom, sugar with a sting Pretty face, but I bite like a queen Write your name in my little black book Kiss me once, then I’ll burn that look I’m the chaos in your calm The thunder in your charm Oh baby, you thought you could tame me — But I’m sweet venom, baby Bridge Maybe I’m the one they warn about Diamond heart and a twisted mouth But baby, I just play the part You lit the match — I burned your heart Final Chorus I’m sweet venom, darling, can’t you see You were never built for loving me I said “hello,” you heard fate Now I’m the love you’ll learn to hate
