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 mistery 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
