[Chorus 1]
Cupid, draw back your bow, and let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me, nobody but me
Cupid, please hear my cry, and let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

[Verse 1]
Now, I don't mean to bother you, but I'm in distress
There's danger of me losin' all of my happiness
For I love a girl who doesn't know I exist
And this you can fix

[Chorus 1]
Cupid, draw back your bow, and let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me, nobody but me
Cupid, please hear my cry, and let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

[Verse 2]
Now Cupid, if your arrow make a love storm for me
I promise I will love her until eternity
I know between the two of us, her heart we can steal
Help me if you will

[Chorus 2]
So Cupid, draw back your bow and let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me, nobody but me
Cupid, please hear my tears and let your arrow come near
Straight to my lover's heart for me

[Bridge]
I know that you heard it before, but Cupid, don't go
What would we do if you didn't exist?
We can't be sure but please don't ignore
Cupid the reason you're here

I know that you're feeling discouraged
You think no one cares about love
So Cupid, please do us a favor
Just pick up your bow and let your arrow go

[Chorus 1]
Cupid, draw back your bow, and let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me, nobody but me
Cupid, please hear my cry, and let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Boyz II Men is an R&B vocal quartet from Philadelphia who became the most successful pop group of the 1990s. They’re best known for their passionate ballads, including the number one hits “End of The Road,” “On Bended Knee,” and “I’ll Make Love To You.”

An early version of the group was founded by Nathan Morris in the mid 1980s while attending the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, where he recruited students Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Michael McCary. Singer Marc Nelson was also an early member, but left the group before their big break.

The group—who took its name from New Edition’s song “Boys To Men”—was discovered in 1988 after auditioning for New Edition’s Michael Bivins backstage at a concert. Bivins signed the group to his management company and secured them a contract with Motown Records.
