I got nothing to hold me here
Ever since she disappeared
Yeah, she left me without a kiss
It was my word against his
Looking back at the lights of town
This old car keeps breakin' down
Gonna drive till it stops again
I done things I can't defend
And that's the mystery of love
Make you beg like a dog
When you know there's no chance
Well that's the mystery of love
Remember dancing on summer nights
Looked in her eyes as I held her tight
Swore to myself I would treat her right
I got demons I got to fight
Let's not talk till these strangers leave
I'm tired of whispering up my sleeve
What I've lost can't be retrieved
And my pain can't be relieved
And that's the mystery of love
Make you beg like a dog
When you know there's no chance
Well that's the mystery of love
The act is stale and the jokes are old
The applause has been bought and sold
Sooner or later my tent will fold
I cry out in a voice of gold
That's the mystery of love
Make you beg like a dog
When you know there's no chance
Well that's the mystery of love
