"Poison Ivy was a way for us to find the common bond between metaphor and reality. We had the pleasure of writing with our bass player Greg Garbowsky (who we wrote 'Tonight' with) infusing new sounds through the use of horn pieces among other new and imaginative musical styles." (Nick Jonas)
Lyrics
I just got back from the doctor
He told me that I had a problem
I realized it's you
I tried to scratch away the issue
All I ever get is tissues
So I can wipe away my tears
Everyone's allergic to
Poison Ivy
Everyone's allergic to
Poison Ivy
Everybody gets to itch
Everybody hates that
Everyone's allergic to
Poison Ivy
Now I found out you were lying
When you told me you were trying
Just to medicate the rash
Tangled vines they are deceiving
From the lines that now are leading
To the truth I need to hear
Everyone's allergic to
Poison Ivy
Everyone's allergic to
Poison Ivy
Everybody gets to itch
Everybody hates that
Everyone's allergic to
Poison Ivy
I break out and I start to shake
When I hear your name, I can't walk away
I can't stop even if I try
I lay down my pride. I can't walk away
I get burned and I have to learn
That the court's adjourned, can't walk away
Tied up in my tangled thoughts
I'm tryin' just can't walk away
Poison
Poison
Poison Ivy
Everyone's allergic to
Poison Ivy
Everybody needs a little
Poison Ivy
Everybody wants a little
Poison Ivy
Everybody gets the itch
Everybody hates that
Everybody needs a little
Poison Ivy
