     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
