"I'm Tired Of Playing Cupid" lyrics

I'm Tired Of Playing Cupid

I'm getting tired of playing cupid
For everybody else
When nobody plays cupid for me
I'm fed up with patching broken hearts
And mending love affairs
When inside my own heart's lonely as can be

I've got an overdose of bringing along
Lost lovers back together
So I'll hang my bow and arrows on the shelf
And if I can't find someone willing
To play cupid for me
Then I'll go and get my business by myself

I've wasted too much precious time
Helping everybody else
Instead of finding me someone to hold me tight
So after fixing everybody else's
Broken down romance
I find that I'm the one
That's left alone at night

I've really been a stupid cupid
So don't howl on me no more
I'm a gonna do a little hunting on my own
And if I find a little gal
That suits my taste to a tea
Then old cupid's gonna drive his arrows home

I've really been a stupid cupid
So don't howl on me no more
I'm a gonna do a little hunting on my own
And if I find a little gal
That suits my taste to a tea
Then old cupid's gonna drive his arrows home
I don't mean maybe
Old cupid's gonna drive his arrows home
