Rio 2 Soundtrack - Track 9 - Poisonous Love by Jemaine Clement and Kristin Chenoweth

Poisonous Love

"Poisonous Love" is a song from Rio 2, performed by Kristin Chenoweth (as Gabi) and Jemaine Clement (as Nigel). This song is played during the boat trip to the Amazon after Nigel decided to attack Blu and his family at midnight. While Nigel and Charlie are still sleeping, Gabi sings the song along with Nigel (in her imagination). However, the version of the song featured in Rio 2 is considerably shorter than that of the full soundtrack.

Lyrics

Movie

My darling, while you sleep

All is well

We are friends, and that's swell

But the truth is that I

Have a secret to tell

I love you

People say it's wrong

It's absurd

That a frog and a bird are in love

But I know in my heart

This was so

Meant to be

If only we could hug and could kiss

It'd be heavenly bliss

But your lungs would explode

And you'd look just like this

As you'd gag with your face turning blue (eww)

But darling I'll protect you, I will

Don't worry, just chill

Cause there isn't a bird

That I wouldn't kill for you

Can't you see

Oh, we were destined to be

For we have love (love)

Poisonous love (love)

And although, yes, I know that you can't hold me (feel me close now)

My loving wings enfold me

Fate told me

Love

Poisonous love (love)

Standing here

You're so near and yet

So far (like a star)

Here we are (where)

What to do (to do)

Oh, poo...

You're my Romeo

I'm Juliet

We're so perfect and yet

If we touch, not by much

Still and all you can bet

It's goodbye

And I'll cry

As you die

From our poisonous love

Soundtrack

My darling, while you sleep

All is well

We are friends, and that's swell

But the truth is that I

Have a secret to tell

I love you

People say it's wrong

It's absurd

That a frog and a bird are in love

But I know in my heart

This was so

Meant to be

Cause I love you so much

Too bad we can't touch

If we did you would die

And that would be such

A really big drag

If only we could hug and could kiss

It'd be heavenly bliss

But your lungs would explode

And you'd look just like this

As you'd hemorrhage and gag (oh... excuse me)

Romeo, Juliet, were in love

But I bet

It was nothing compared

To the feeling I get

Around you

But you don't even know that I'm there

You don't see that I care

Could it be, that for me

You're not even aware

That I'm perfect for you

Cause I'm never ever mean, never lie

And I'm sweeter than pie

And I'm thoughtful and gentle and timid and shy

And tender and loving and true

But darling I'll protect you, I will

Don't worry, just chill

Cause there isn't a bird

That I wouldn't kill for you

Can't you see

Oh, we were destined to be

For hear our love (love)

Poisonous love (love)

And oh, yes, I know that you can't hold me (feel me close now)

Your loving wings enfold me

Fate told me love

Poisonous love (love)

Standing here

You're so near and yet so far (like a star)

Here we are

What to do (to do)

Oh poo...

You're my Romeo

I'm Juliet

We're so perfect and yet

If we touch, not by much

Still and all you can bet

It's good bye

And I'll cry

As you die

From our poisonous love
