Cupid's Arrow

I cry because I can't have you
Or that you'll only give a little bit
--of your time, your love, your heart--
Nothing much, you won't commit

I'm sad to hear you care for me
That you know I deserve more
But instead of changing anything
You'd much rather walk out the door

Oh, how I'll miss your kisses
That little dimple on your cheek
And that smile that gave me goosebumps
That I longed to see each week

I cry because I can't have you
Or that you don't want me the same
I guess I'm hurt from Cupid's arrow
Through my heart,  he had perfect aim
