[Verse 1]
Tell ya, please don’t love ‘er
She’s got evil in her eyes
No, my brothers
Don’t be confused, she’s in disguise
I’ve got my mojo, now she can’t hurt me no more
But beware of ‘er, she’s on the prowl for more

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, that girl, that girl is not the girl you know
Stay away from her, she shines but she don’t glow
Oh, that girl will never let you know
‘Til the day she’s rippin’ out your heart, you’ll see, yeah

[Chorus]
That girls like poison ivy (Yeah, and she)
And she just keeps burning my skin (Burnin’ up my skin, and that girl is)
That girls like poison ivy
And I can’t let her burn me again (I can’t let ‘er burn me again)
That girls like poison ivy (Yeah)
And she just keeps burning my skin (Burnin’ up my skin, and that girl is)
That girls like poison ivy (Yeah)
And I can’t let her burn me again

[Verse 2]
She can’t be my lover
She can be this in my eyes
I told my mother
And she said “Boy, that girl is in disguise”
I’ve got my mojo, and she can’t hurt me anymore, oh-oh
But beware of ‘er, ‘cause she’ll be back for more
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, that girl (Ooh, that girl is not the girl you know)
Stay away from her (Yeah, she shines at night but she don’t glow)
Oh, that girl will never let you know
‘Til the day she’s rippin’ out your heart, you’ll see, yeah

[Chorus]
That girls like poison ivy (Yeah, she is now)
And she just keeps burning my skin (She keeps burnin’ up my skin, now, now, now)
That girls like poison ivy (Oh, that girl)
And I can’t let her burn me again (I can’t let her burn me again)
That girls like poison ivy (Oh, and she)
And she just keeps burning my skin (Burnin’ up my skin, and that girl is)
That girls like poison ivy (Yeah)
And I can’t let her burn me again
