lyrics

Cupid, shame yourself,
For you have touched marble.
You broke a comfortable glacier with hottest arrows,
You dared warm a frozen sea, alien to love,
and showed it tenderness beyond just friends

Cupid, shame yourself,
For your whims have hurt me.
Recall uncomfortable memories with coldest passion.
You iceberg in human form, alien to love,
Please show no tenderness beyond just friends

I was your guitar,
I was the love of your sweet young years
I was your guitar

Cupid, hide yourself,
and keep away from me.
Just let me walk away every time
from all temptation.

Not regard my friend's advice "Give into love
and show it tenderness", oh no my friend.

I was your guitar,
I was the love of your sweet young years
I was your guitar

Cupid, hide yourself,
and keep away from me
just let me walk away every time
from all temptation

Not regard my friend's advice "Give into love
and show it tenderness", oh no my friend.

Give me time to grow wise
Give me time to forget
Cupid!
