[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 feelin' lonely (lonely)

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

Now I'm cryin' 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 feelin' 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

Waitin' around is a waste (waste)

Been countin' the days since November

Is lovin' 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 cryin' 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 feelin' stupid

Oh, the way he makes me feel that love isn't real

Cupid is so dumb

...

(Cupid is so dumb)

A hopeless girl is searching

For 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 feelin' stupid

Oh, the way he makes me feel that love isn't real

Cupid is so dumb

I gave a second chance to Cupid (a hopeless girl is searching for someone)

But now I'm left here feelin' stupid (who will share this feeling)

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

Cupid is so dumb (a fool for love, a fool for love)

...

But now I'm left here feelin' stupid (who will share this feelin')

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

Cupid is so dumb (a fool for love, a fool for love)
