"Don't Mess With Cupid" - The Dock of the Bay (1968)
"Don't Mess With Cupid" Steve Cropper/Eddie Floyd/Deanie Parker
You must have thought my love was for fun You tried to spend it like a dollar You got the right string, baby But your yo-yo is the wrong color Don’t you mess with Cupid Cupid, he’s not stupid Don’t you mess with Cupid Cupid, he’s not stupid You thought my love was just a rug on the floor Just to walk on and nothing more You just don’t seem to understand That I’m a man, baby—a full-grown man Don’t you mess with Cupid Cupid, he’s not stupid Don’t you mess with Cupid Cupid, he’s not stupid When I look for you, you’re never home Like a lamp, you turn me off and on But like a shade that dims the light When it’s opened, I can’t do nothing right I’m warning you, baby Don’t you mess with this Cupid Baby, he’s not stupid
