Bm D
Slow dancing tight
A Bm
My barren heart and I
Bm D
Your name used to taste so sweet
A Bm
Then you beat the love right out of me
Bm D
It's a mystery how people behave!
A Bm
How we long for a life as a slave
Bm D
When he kissed me I gladly gave in
A Bm
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
Em
Oh, you you it's always you
Bm
The best kisser that I ever knew
Em
True love is cruel love
Bm
Not much to be proud of
Em
Nerve-wrecking acrobatic backwards bend
Bm Fm Bm
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
