Cupid's Curse

by iloveanimecartoons

Original March 11, 1998

So, here we go again—a battle to the end

Stupid Cupid wants to give me a true love from a friend

Not thinking of his past failures—my days and nights alone

Not caring about the hurt love's brought—no empathy, he's shown

Slowly killing my soul with your poison -tipped arrows of pain

My pillows, all stained, with the tears I have rained

From the storms I called relationships—the ones that were destined to end

When it comes to my not wanting to hurt, Cupid just can't comprehend

I'm cursed and what's worse, I am set to always fail

To live and love and be content to be with any males

Cause, you see, that sneaky Cupid always has a plan B

I hope to find loves' loophole, eventually

He put a hex on my heart, which means love is taboo

Then, put a stop to my trust, so all those, “I love you, Boos”

and the, “I could never hurt yous”

and the “You're my baby—you're my hearts”

Would just melt away like the love lost and those other sweet parts

That start off so good and end up so trife

Damn, Cupid, man—just get outta my life!

To be alone doesn't mean that I'm craving for affection

To have Cupid spin me off to the next man

Let me say this again

By not caring about the hurt love's brought, no empathy, he's shown

By not thinking of his past failures—my days and nights alone

He's brought me to the conclusion

that love is one big illusion

And by setting me up to feel fucked up revisions,

I see no man in my future and I'm blinded to love's vision

I'll cut off love, like circumcision—it's painful, but a plus

And, that's just about all of the subject, I'll discuss

But, I tell you, I've never felt an adversary worse

Than the battle within—fighting off Cupid's Curse
