Otis Redding
Don’t Mess With Cupid
[Verse 1]
You must have thought my love was for fun, honey
You tried to spend it like a dollar, huh
You got the right string, baby
But your yo-yo is the wrong color
Now honey let me tell you
[Chorus]
Don't you mess with Cupid, no no
Cupid, he's not stupid, baby
Don't you mess with Cupid, no no
Cupid, he's not stupid
[Verse 2]
You thought my love was just a rug on the floor, honey
Just to walk on and nothing more
You just don't seem to understand
That I'm a man, baby, and a full-grown man
Honey, I'm telling you
[Chorus]
Don't you mess with Cupid, no no, now
Cupid, he's not stupid, baby
Don't you mess with Cupid, baby
Cupid, he's not stupid, no no no
[Verse 3]
When I look for you, you're never home, honey
Like a lamp, you turn me off and on, baby
But like a shade that dims the light
When it's opened, I can't do nothing right
I'm warning you, baby
[Chorus]
Don't you mess with this Cupid, no no
Baby, he's not stupid
[Outro]
Don't, don't, don't mess with me
Baby, don't mess with me
I'm just a man, baby, full grown man
I don't want you to mess with me
Don't end my life, honey
Don't play with Cupid, baby, hey hey, yeah yeah
I got to tell you, baby, tell you all about it
I'll knock on wood for ya
