[English]

La, la, la, la-la-la

La, la-la-la, la, la-la-la

A hopeless romantic all my life

Surrounded by couples all the time

I guess I should take it as a sign

Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why?

I'm feeling lonely (Lonely)

Oh, I wish I'd find a lover that could hold me (Hold me)

Now, I'm crying in my room

So skeptical of love

(Say what you say, but I want it more) But still, I want it more, more, more

I gave a second chance to Cupid

But now, I'm left here feeling stupid

Oh, the way he makes me feel

That love isn't real

Cupid is so dumb

I look for his arrows every day

I guess he got lost or flew away

Waiting around is a waste (Waste)

Been counting the days since November

Is loving as good as they say?

Now I'm so lonely (Lonely)

Oh, I wish I'd find a lover that could hold me (Hold me)

Now I'm crying in my room

So skeptical of love

(Say what you say, but I want it more) But still, I want it more, more, more

I gave a second chance to cupid

But now, I'm left here feeling stupid

Oh, the way he makes me feel

That love isn't real

Cupid is so dumb

Cupid is so dumb

Hopeless girl is seeking

Someone who will share this feeling

I'm a fool

A fool for love, a fool for love

I gave a second chance to cupid

But now, I'm left here feeling stupid

Oh, the way he makes me feel

That love isn't real

Cupid is so dumb

I gave a second chance to cupid (Hopeless girl)

But now, I'm left here feeling stupid (Is seeking someone who will share this feeling)

Oh, the way he makes me feel that love isn't real (I'm a fool, a fool for love)

Cupid is so dumb (A fool for love)
