Don't Mess with Cupid
Love's Warning: Cupid's Not Stupid
Lyrics
You must have thought my love was for fun, honey
You thought my love was merely for amusement or not serious
You tried to spend it like a dollar
You treated my love as something disposable, like spending a dollar
You got the right string, baby
You had the right approach or idea, but it's not matching what's needed
But your yo-yo is the wrong color, honey I'm tellin' you
Your actions or intentions don't align with what's required, emphasizing not to underestimate Cupid
Don't you mess with cupid, no, no
Advising against interfering or messing with Cupid's influence in love matters
Cupid, he's not stupid, baby
Emphasizing Cupid's intelligence in matters of love
Don't you mess with cupid, no, no
Reiteration not to interfere with Cupid's work
Cupid, he's not stupid
Reiterating Cupid's acumen in love
You thought my love was just a rug on the floor, honey
You perceived my love as something insignificant, like a rug to walk on
Just to walk on and nothing more
It seemed like you viewed my love as something to take advantage of, without deeper value
You just don't seem to understand
You're failing to grasp my true nature as a mature man
That I'm a man, babya full-grown man, honey I'm tellin' you
Asserting manhood and warning against underestimating it
Don't you mess with cupid, no, no
Reiteration not to interfere or toy with Cupid's power
Cupid, he's not stupid, baby
Highlighting Cupid's wisdom in love matters
Don't you mess with cupid, baby
Repeated advice against meddling with Cupid's influence in love
Cupid, he's not stupid, no, no, no
Reiterating Cupid's intelligence in love situations
When I look for you, you're never home
You're often unavailable when sought, like a flickering lamp
Like a lamp, you turn me off and on
Comparing your actions to a lamp, being turned on and off
But like a shade that dims the light
Your behavior affects me, just like a shade affecting light
When it's opened, I can't do nothing right
When you're open or receptive, things seem to go wrong
I'm warning you, baby
A warning against meddling with Cupid's powers
Don't you mess with this cupid, no, no
Reiteration not to interfere with Cupid's influence in love
Baby, he's not stupid
Highlighting Cupid's astuteness in love
Baby don't mess with me
A direct plea to avoid causing trouble or interference
I-I'm just a man, baby, full-grown man, I don't want you to mess with
Asserting manhood and a plea not to disrupt it
Don't ruin my life, honey
An appeal not to ruin or negatively impact the speaker's life
Don't play with cupid, baby
Warning against toying with Cupid's power
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Exclamation, indicating a strong sentiment
I got to tell you, babe
Expressing a need to communicate something important to the listener
Hey, all right, honey
Positive affirmation or agreement with the listener
I-I gon' move for you
An intention to take action or make a change for the listener
