Otis Redding -
Complete & Unbelievable: The Otis Redding Dictionary of Soul (50th Anniversary Edition)
Don't Mess with Cupid
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 ya
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
You thought my love was just a rug on the floor, honey
Just to walk on and nothing more, baby
You just don't seem to understand
That I'm a man, baby, and I'm full grown man
Honey, I'm telling you
Don't you mess with Cupid, no-no
Cupid, he's not stupid, baby
Don't you mess with Cupid, baby
Cupid, he's not stupid, no-no-no-no
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
Don't you mess with this Cupid, no-no, babe
Baby, he's not stupid
No-no, don't mess with me
Baby, don't mess with me
And I'm, yes I'm man
Babe, a full grown man
I don't want you to mess with
Don't with my life, honey
Don't play with Cupid, baby
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
I got to tell you, baby
You play with all your life, honey
I'm not a fool for you
I made a gun
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 ya
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
You thought my love was just a rug on the floor, honey
Just to walk on and nothing more, baby
You just don't seem to understand
That I'm a man, baby, and I'm full grown man
Honey, I'm telling you
Don't you mess with Cupid, no-no
Cupid, he's not stupid, baby
Don't you mess with Cupid, baby
Cupid, he's not stupid, no-no-no-no
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
Don't you mess with this Cupid, no-no, babe
Baby, he's not stupid
No-no, don't mess with me
Baby, don't mess with me
And I'm, yes I'm man
Babe, a full grown man
I don't want you to mess with
Don't with my life, honey
Don't play with Cupid, baby
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
I got to tell you, baby
You play with all your life, honey
I'm not a fool for you
I made a gun
