Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Cupid is stupid, so I’ve heard it said
You’ve heard it, too, and it’s often been read
Just a little arrow from his bow
Makes you say “yes” when you want to say “no”
Here is the reason he gets all the blame
Any old season, he hunts just the same
I can’t convict him, tho’ I’m a victim
Of his little game
Chorus
She can’t be beat
It isn’t ’cause she’s so neat
But just a pleasure to meet
A little woman so sweet
Now that she’s mine
I give her all of my time
I know I will not forget
That lovin’ day on which we met
And if some day
She’d say “I’m going away”
I’d simply say
“Oh! won’t you please have a heart
Stay, sweet woman” Pine
I know this poor heart of mine
Would be like some lonesome pine
For that sweet woman of mine
- Words can’t express all the love in my heart
I must confess that I fell from the start
For the sweetest woman of them all
She had no trouble in making me fall
After I saw her I knew I was thru
You would adore her, if you saw her, too
My heart is burning, now I am learning
Just what love can do
