Hey hey doctor, my chest is on fire
I'm no quitter but I feel I'm gonna die
Doc took some tests, read bloodpressure too
Said you're OK except the bitemarks on you

Copperhead bite, copperhead bite
Your love strikes like a copperhead bite

Can't get no air, my feet are all numb
All I can do is to suck my thumb
Ev'rywhere I go, 'n' ev'rything I do
Mind's concentratin' just to think of You

Copperhead bite, copperhead bite
Your love strikes like a copperhead bite

Venom is poisenous, full of that shit
That makes a man grunt like a bear that's hit
Victim of devious plan am I?
Or is this only hell of a way to die?

Copperhead bite, copperhead bite
Your love strikes like a copperhead bite
