and then you kissed me 2

slow dancing tight
my barring heart and i
your name used to taste so sweet
then you bit 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
