[Intro]
G Em (x2)
[Chorus]
G Em G C
Cupid, draw back your bow, and let your arrow go;
G D7 G D7
Straight to my lover's heart, for me, for me.
G Em G C
Cupid, please hear my cry, and let your arrow fly;
G D7 C G
Straight to my lover's heart, for me...
[Verse]
G D7
Now, I don't mean to bother you, but I'm in distress;
G
There's danger of me losin' all of my happiness.
C
For I love a girl who doesn't know I exist;
D7 G
And this you can fix. So...
[Chorus]
G Em G C
Cupid, draw back your bow, and let your arrow go;

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

G D7 C G
Straight to my lover's heart, for me...
[Verse]
G D7
Now, Cupid, if your arrow makes her love strong for me,
G
I promise I will love her until eternity.
C
I know, between the two of us, her heart we can steal;
D7 G
Help me if you will. So...
[Chorus]
G Em G C
Cupid, draw back your bow, and let your arrow go;
G D7 G D7
Straight to my lover's heart, for me, for me.
G Em G C
Cupid, please hear my cry, and let your arrow fly;

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

Cupid, help me, I need you, Cupid, don't fail me...
