Intro: G       Em       G       Em        
 
         
G           Em  
Cupid, draw back your bow   
G        C   
And let your arrow go   
G               D                 G       D   
 Straight to my lover's heart for me, for me.   
G        Em  
 Cupid, please hear my cry   
G        C   
And let your arrow fly   
G               D                 C7       G     
 Straight to my lover's heart for me.   
   
Verse 1:   
                                     D7   
Now, I don't mean to bother you, but I'm in distress.  
                                   G   
There's danger of me losing all of my happiness   
                              C   
For I love a girl who doesn't know I exist   
D7   
  And this you can fix, so,   
   
(Chorus)   
   
Verse 2:   
Now, Cupid, if your arrow makes 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,  
   
(Chorus)   
   
G                Em          G  
Cupid, don't you hear me calling you?   
    Em         G  
I need you, Cupid. 
   
(fade out)
