Cupid Lyrics

[Intro]
Everybody put your hands together
Whoa, mmm, yeah
Girl, I love you so
112, listen

[Verse 1]
Girl, if I told you I love you
That doesn't mean it that I don't care, ooh
And when I tell you I need you
Don't you think that I'll never be there, ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, I'm so tired of the way you turn
My words into deception and lies
Don't misunderstand me when I try to speak my mind

I'm only saying what's in my heart

[Chorus]
Cupid doesn't lie
But you won't know unless you give it a try
Oh baby, true love won't lie
But we won't know unless we give it a try
Give it a try

[Verse 2]
Girl, when I ask you to trust me
That doesn't mean it that I'm gonna cheat on you
Cause I'm gonna never do anything to hurt you or mislead you
I love you
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, I'm so tired of the way you turn
My words into deception and lies
Don't misunderstand me when I try to speak my mind
I'm only saying what's in my heart

[Chorus]
Cupid doesn't lie
But you won't know unless you give it a try
Oh baby, true love won't lie
But we won't know unless we give it a try
Give it a try

[Bridge]
Ain't no doubt about it, Lord knows, I really mean it
I'd rather die before, before I lie to you
Never wanna leave ya, there ain't no life without you
Never gonna leave, never gonna go, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, oh

[Chorus]
Cupid doesn't lie
But you won't know unless you give it a try
Oh baby, true love won't lie
But we won't know unless we give it a try
Give it a try
Cupid doesn't lie
(Ain't no doubt about it, Lord knows, I really mean it)
But you won't know unless you give it a try
(I'd rather die before, before I lie to you)
Oh baby, true love won't lie
But we won't know unless we give it a try
Give it a try
Cupid doesn't lie
But you won't know unless you give it a try

Oh baby, true love won't lie
But we won't know unless we give it a try
Give it a try

You know how most females don’t believe shit a guy says? They be like, if a guy loves you, he’s really lying and he doesn’t care about you or your feelings. He is letting her know that he really means what he says.
