Verse 1

C
All your poison love has stained
                                      G7
The life's blood in my heart and soul dear
                                     C
And I know my life will never be the same

Verse 2

For my pleadings have all been in vain
                      G7
For you and you alone dear
                                        C
And you know that you are guilty of the shame

Verse 3

Into each life a love is born
                      G7
For one and one alone dear
                                    C
The love I chose was surely not for me

Verse 4

For your poison love has stained
                                      G7
The life's blood in my heart and soul dear
                                       C
And I know our love was never meant to be

Verse 5

But still my heart cries out for you
                 G7
And you alone my darling
                                C
And fate will never ever let me go

Verse 6

All my pleas and prayers have been in vain
G7
For you and you alone dear
C
And my better judgment tells me to say no
