Lyrics

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 losing 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 her love strong 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 calling you?

I need you

Cupid, help me, I need you

Cupid don't fail me 'cause I need you
