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
