Poison (Bell Biv DeVoe song) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Poison is a single by the New Edition spinoff group, Bell Biv DeVoe. This song—in the style of new jack swing, a late-1980s/early-1990s hybrid of R&B and hip hop—was the group's most successful, and sings of the dangers of falling in love. Poison was the first single taken from Bell Biv DeVoe's debut album of the same name.
