The Cardigans | Lyrics | And Then You Kissed Me II

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
