Subject: ADDPOP Cupid (Sam Cooke)
There's a Wikipedia page on "Cupid." It was written by Sam Cooke, and his recording was released in 1961.
Here are the Sam Cooke lyrics:
CUPID (Sam Cooke, 1961)
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 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 Calling you, I need ya Cupid help me, I need ya Cupid, don't fail me
