Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I'm gonna fall in love tonight

I've got my bow and arrow

My heart shaped eyes are burning bright

I've got you in my sight

You're looking at my wings and by the look in your eyes

You've got an appetite

My love is ready to take flight

Slow dancing to the moonlight

Shoot you down with an arrow like boom boom

Your heart beat faster like boom boom boom

'cause you know you want me

and you cannot resist

Yeah I'm looking for a lover and you're top of my list

Cupid, you're so stupid

Trying to resist my kiss

But you know I'll never miss

Baby you just need to relax

Don't panic when it hits

Shoot my arrow right into your back

I wanna show you how to trust

Want you to see what love is

I wanna show you happiness

So you don't have to fear it

Shoot you down with an arrow like boom boom

Your heart beat faster like boom boom boom

'cause you know you want me

and you cannot resist

Yeah I'm looking for a lover and you're top of my list

Cupid, you're so stupid

Trying to resist my kiss

But you know I'll never miss

Baby you just need to relax

Don't panic when it hits

Shoot my arrow right into your back

You've fallen before and it hurt

One too many lessons learned

But I can see your heart it burns

When's it gonna be your turn

Cupid, you're so stupid

Trying to resist my kiss

But you know I'll never miss

Baby you just need to relax

Don't panic when it hits

Shoot my arrow right into your back
