and then you kissed me

slow dancing tight
my barring 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
