Battle With Cupid

You got me feeling really stupid
I just got shot up by Cupid
He got me when I turned my back
And it’s like my hearts under attack

Her name was printed on the arrow
And my path has become straight and narrow
I took it out and read her name
When she entered my sight it wasn’t the same

Everything’s changed and she’s all I can see
It’s really a shame that she doesn’t notice me
Blew my chance last Friday night
I’m punishing myself with all my might

It’s like she never leaves my mind
She’s all I can see; it’s the beauty in blind
Gives me the energy when I’m done and spent
It’s like giving 500 percent

I’m in a battle with Cupid for my life
All he’s doing is causing me strife
I know he’s trying to put me with the girl of my dreams
But nothing is as perfect as it seems

I don’t need his arrow to know how I feel
He just made public what I meant to conceal
What happened to third time’s the charm?
I’m going on five now, what’s the harm?

I love emotionally with a gentle touch
While you love aggressively and such
Why love like that when it seems abrasive?
When you can be gentle and even more persuasive

I want the first mutual hug to be like magic
Instead of adding another each day it seems tragic
That you need a hug to show how you feel
When your eyes say it all is when it’s real

So take back your arrow and stash it in your quiver
Because I don’t need it to feel my heart shiver
When I see her do her hair and stop and stare
Watch her turn to meet it as she smiles without a care

There’s nothing more refreshing than seeing her
There’s nothing else that I would prefer
I’d spend the last day of my life with her just for one last look
As I ponder all the chances I had and never took

I take comfort in her eyes
In her heart, a fire that never dies
In her smile, a happiness that can shine
I see her face and wish she was mine

I drop everything when we talk on the phone
As if it were her and I talking all alone
There is nothing else I would rather hear
And the way I feel for her is my biggest fear

I want to make it seem like it’s unreal
Since that describes how strong I feel
It’s not a petty love or a growing lust
It’s more like being part of her life is a must

Cupid, stop shooting all those arrows
Just go fly away with the crows and sparrows
I’m in as deep as I could ever be
Or have you shot me too many times to see?

I felt this way before you thought to take aim
After I met her nothing was ever the same
The way my heart will rush when I hear her call
The way she can make me do anything at all

If I could write it all she would have to read it too
She can tell how I feel she knows the feeling’s true
If I could write it all in just one little word
I would write “Love” but is that too absurd?

Cupid, I don’t need you here anymore
Find your way out the door
I have my mind so crammed
She has my rationality jammed

Cupid, I never needed you here
Just to be straight and clear
I was in love before you got your shot
There is no way you could say I’m not

Cupid, give it up, I already know
I found love all by myself, so go
Just hit her with my arrow if you can
Or was that your master plan?

Is she already after me?
Did you blind me too much to see?
Does she feel like she’s been hit by Cupid?
If she has, then man I’m stupid

You took my world and put it in her eyes
Is her world in mine where our stare lies?
Cupid, just go where you’re needed
And consider yourself defeated.
