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
