Slow dancing tight

My barren heart and I

Your name used to taste so sweet

Then you beat the love right out of me

It's a mystery how people behave!

How we long for a life as a slave

When he kissed me I gladly gave in

To a fight nobody could win

Man, he left me blue

And if I could I would do it too

I tell you now like I told you before

Love is a powerful force

And it's a mystery how people behave!

How we long for a life as a slave

And tumble into any open arms

That will only ever do you harm

Oh, you you it's always you

The best kisser that I ever knew

True love is cruel love

Not much to be proud of

Nerve-wrecking acrobatic backwards bend

All for a happy end

It's a mystery how people behave!

How we worry ourselves to the grave

When he kissed me I lost everything

Then I got up and did it again

Oh you you, it's always you, the hardest hitter that I ever knew

True love is cruel love

Not much to be proud of

Ass-kissing mercy-missing faithless friend

All for a happy end
