Cupid's Got A Gun

[shanell]

You watched me fall

Stood over me as I hit the ground

Then he whispered his name in my ear

Such a dark familiar sound



Cupid's got a gun

And he shot me with it

Cupid's got a gun

And he shot me with it

Now who said he's a lover

Really he's a murderer



[nicki minaj]

imma put on my long pouffy skirt

Man I should have known he would do me dirt

So miserable i'ma storm through the puddle

Cupid's got a weapon gotta part with the devil

Tell him that i'm done tell him that i'm not here

Hit him with the lamp i'ma hit him with a chair

throw the 2-sign im dome wit sons

slo-mo as the pellets throw right from the gun



[shanell]

I I I I thought I could trust him

But I I I I didn't see it coming

Cos cupid's got a gun

And he shot me with it

Cupid's got a gun

And he shot me with it



Now who said he's a lover

Really he's a murderer



I should have known

By the way he took my breath away

And the way he held me

Often hurt me

He told me love was pain

I saw the winding road

Spinning out of control

Surrendered to his wrong direction

Now I don't know where to go

Cos cupid's got a gun

Cupid's got a gun

Now who said he's a lover

Really he's a murderer



Cupid's got a gun

And he shot me with it

Cupid's got a gun

And he shot me with it

Now who said he's a lover

Really he's a murderer
