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
 [bad word] love is [bad word] 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
 [bad word] love is [bad word] love
 not much to be proud of

 [bad word] kissing mercy-missing faithless friend 
 all for a happy end
