THE CARDIGANS LYRICS - And Then You Kissed Me II

"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
