[Intro and Verse 1]
Slow dancing tight, my barren heart and I
Your name used to taste so sweet, then you beat the love right out of me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus 3]
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

[Outro and Chorus 2]
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
