So Toxic

I love her, she don't love me

I hear my mom say:

"Boy, don't fall in love"

But it didn't go to plan

And I fell in love

She said:

We belong together

And you don't exactly have much

I'll give you money, applause, success

But my game, my rules

Yeah, yeah, yeah

She gave me courage,

Was good for me

But she changed

With her devilish face

But she kept her promises

My dreams are finally coming true

But at night I lie awake

Yeah, I admit this relationship

Hasn't brought happiness

I swore up and down

to be her slave

And she said:

"Dance, baby

Dance, baby

Dance for me!"

I love her cause she don't love me

And she said:

"Dance, baby

Dance, baby

Dance for me!"

She's so toxic

I love her, she don't love me

I hear her say:

"I know what's good for you

Better than you do

I've had so many like you

But today you won't hear of them

If you don't dance the way I want

This relationship is over

If you get divorced

You're gonna suffer

Cause I won't let you go

No, no, no

She locked me up

I want to be free

But she laughed at me

And said:

"There's no way out

Of this golden house"

This relationship is killing me

I sold my soul

If something sounds too good

to be true

Then that's what it is

I swore up and down

to be her slave

And she said:

"Dance, baby

Dance, baby

Dance for me!"

I love her 'cause she don't love me

And she said:

"Dance, baby

Dance, baby

Dance for me!"

She's so toxic

I love her, she don't love me

"Dance, baby

Dance, baby

Dance for me!"

I love her 'cause she don't love me

And she said:

"Dance, baby

Dance, baby

Dance for me!"

She's so toxic

I love her, she don't love me

Author's comments:

I wanted to offer a translation that's a bit less literal than the other one offered, specifically because in English 'she's pure poison to/for me' sounds very awkward, but saying someone's toxic flows more naturally in today's language. Emphasis was put more on sounding like colloquial English than providing a word for word translation. The tense was also adjusted for flow.

Corrections and comments are welcome especially if you think I misinterpreted something.
