Les paroles de la chanson
« Don't mess with cupid »
Otis Redding
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
Don’t you mess with Cupid
Cupid he’s not stupid, baby now
Don’t you mess with Cupid, now now
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 a full grown man, honey
I’m tellin’ you
Don’t you mess with Cupid
Cupid he’s not stupid, baby now
Don’t you mess with Cupid
Cupid he’s not stupid
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 dimmed the light
Well that’s all baby
I can’t do nothing right
I’m warning you, baby
Don’t you mess with Mister Cupid
No, no, baby
Baby, he’s not stupid
No no, don’t mess with me
Baby, don’t mess with me
Oh I’m just a man, baby
Full grown man
I don’t want you to mess with me
Throw away my life, honey
Don’t play with Cupid, baby
Hey hey yeah yeah now
I got to tell you, baby
Tell you all about it, honey
I’m not no fool for you
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
Don’t you mess with Cupid
Cupid he’s not stupid, baby now
Don’t you mess with Cupid, now now
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 a full grown man, honey
I’m tellin’ you
Don’t you mess with Cupid
Cupid he’s not stupid, baby now
Don’t you mess with Cupid
Cupid he’s not stupid
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 dimmed the light
Well that’s all baby
I can’t do nothing right
I’m warning you, baby
Don’t you mess with Mister Cupid
No, no, baby
Baby, he’s not stupid
No no, don’t mess with me
Baby, don’t mess with me
Oh I’m just a man, baby
Full grown man
I don’t want you to mess with me
Throw away my life, honey
Don’t play with Cupid, baby
Hey hey yeah yeah now
I got to tell you, baby
Tell you all about it, honey
I’m not no fool for you
