[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]
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]
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]
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]
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

[Chorus]
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
