Lyrics for Cupid's Trick

She's shaking down I'm absent and numb from shock Reachin' around for the Hands of the clock Should've lied Lit me up, it's my lie Should've lit me up, it's my lie Should've lit me up, it's my lie Should've lit me up, it's my lie Should've lit me up Cupid's trick comes Down to shake and deal A stupid kick that Makes me reel Should've lied Lit me up, it's my lie Should've lit me up, it's my lie Should've lit me up, it's my lie Should've lit me up, it's my lie Should've lit me up She's shaking down It's never over and done So kick me, cane me And I'll know Why Lit me up, it's my lie Should've lit me up, it's my lie Should've lit me up, it's my lie Should've lit me up, it's my lie Should've lit me up
