If I were to say to you
Can you keep a secret?
Would you know just what to do
Or where to keep it?

Then I say I love you
And foul the situation
Hey girl, I thought we were
The right combination

Who broke my heart? You did, you did
Bow to the target, blame cupid, cupid
You think you're smart
Stupid, stupid

Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow
Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow

No rhythm in cymbals
No tempo in drums
Love on arrival
She comes when she comes

Right on the target
But wide of the mark
What I thought was fire
Was only the spark

The sweetest melody
Is an unheard refrain
So lower your sights
Yeah, but raise your aim, raise your aim

Who broke my heart? You did, you did
Bow to the target, blame cupid, cupid
You think you're smart
Stupid, stupid

Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow
Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow

I thought you loved me but it seems you don't care
I care enough to know, I can never love you

Who broke my heart? You did, you did
Bow to the target, blame cupid
You think you're smart
That's stupid

Right from the start
When you knew we would part

Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow
Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow

Heart
Shoot that poison arrow
Shoot that poison arrow
