Cupid, draw back your bow and let your arrow go

Straight to my lover's heart for me, for me

Cupid, please hear my cry and let your arrow fly

Straight to my lover's heart for me



Now, I don't mean to bother you but I'm in distress

There's danger of me losin' all of my happiness

For I love a girl who doesn't know I exist

And this you can fix



So, Cupid, draw back your bow and let your arrow go

Straight to my lover's heart for me, nobody but me

Cupid, please hear my cry and let your arrow fly

Straight to my lover's heart for me



Now, Cupid if your arrow make a love storm for me

I promise I will love her until eternity

I know between the two of us her heart we can steal

Help me if you will



So, Cupid, draw back your bow and let your arrow go

Straight to my lover's heart for me, nobody but me

Cupid, please hear my cry and let your arrow fly

Straight to my lover's heart for me



Now, Cupid, don't you hear me

Callin' you, I need you

Cupid, help me.
