Cupid Needs Love

Little Cupid back to Olympus flies His arrows to replenish he needs new supplies His bow restrung his darts have flung For Cupid love is never done Come Spring new and green And at every person Cupid's arrows fling With tips of gold for passionate desire With tips of lead to put out the fire The world in love with love Little Cupid hovers above A tear mist his eye for his heart is denied No one to fly at little Cupid's side Spread love around laugh out like a clown But on wings of solace alone is found Back to Olympus a silver cloud for a room A self inflected love shot won't help if you're immune No mortal to love him no divine to woo Cupid's need for love mist his cloud blue Aphrodite sings lullabies to her little man For little Cupid love is not for his own to command Pierce your finger with the tip of gold Why can't it bring me someone magic to hold Infatuation, passion burns fast With sudden flirtation love doesn't always last Know your own heart for it to be shared Love your self first so for others you may care In love all you have is yourself to give In life all you got is this one life to live In youth fall in love always a lot But when you grow up random love stops Find one to love and to be loved Find one to love and to be loved Cupid sleeps as his tears rain down Igniter of passion with no love he found So with mischievous boyish delight He releases those arrows in a torrential flight Let love abound from this heavenly realm Let Cupid deny let Cupid decide love's helm Never to taste the bitterness of love lost Never to relish the sweetness of love won at all cost Alone Cupid sleeps upon his silver cloud A cloth of golden silk upon his brow For with amour Cupid be fickle For his own heart those gold arrows aint worth a nickel
