Hey, Cupid draw back your bow and let her have it in her heart
Oh, Cupid draw back your bow and let her have it in her heart
I must confess there is no happiness when you leave someone, hmm
But there’s spice and light and love is measured right, My heart is filling up with love

Ohh, Cupid draw back your bow and let her have it in her heart
Oh, Cupid draw back your bow and let her have it in her heart (in her heart)
Cupid don’t miss let her know I exist pull out your magic bow

Ohh when your arrow hits then she just can’t resist in love with me she’ll fall (she’s gotta fall)
Oh, Cupid babe draw back your bow and let her have it in her heart (in her heart)
Oh, Cupid draw back your bow and let her have it in her heart (in her heart)

Aim it (aim it), aim it (aim it), shoot it (shoot it) in her heart
Cupid draw back your bow and let her have it in her heart (in her heart)
Oh, Cupid, babe, draw back your bow and let her have it in her heart (in her heart)

Shoot it, shoot it, shoot it, shoot it (shoot it)
Shoot it, shoot it, shoot it, shoot it (shoot it)
Aim it (aim it), aim it (aim it) shoot it, shoot it in her heart

Cupid draw back your bow and let her have it in her heart (in her heart)
Cupid draw back your bow (shoot) and let her have it in her heart
Aim it (aim it), aim it (aim it) shoot it, shoot it in her heart

Cupid draw back your bow (shoot) and let her have it in her heart
Ohh Cupid babe draw back your bow (shoot) and let her have it in her heart
Aim it (aim it), aim it (aim it) shoot it, shoot it in her heart

Cupid draw back your bow (shoot) and let her have it in her heart
Yeah Cupid draw back your bow (shoot) and let her have it in her heart
Cupid draw back your bow (shoot) and let her have it in her heart
Yeah Cupid draw back your bow (shoot) and let her have it in her heart

The Jackson 5 were originally formed in 1963 under the name, The Jackson Brothers. The founding members were Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon. Michael would join the group as the lead singer a year later, a move which pushed Jermaine to sing the backing vocals and play the lead guitar.

After participating in a series of talent shows, they entered the professional music scene in 1967, signing with Steeltown Records and releasing ten singles. In 1969, they left Steeltown Records in order to sign with Motown.

In 1975, most of the Jacksons had opted out of recording any more music for Motown, expressing desires to have creative control over their songs, as well as royalties. Learning that they were earning only 2.8% of royalties from Motown, Joe Jackson, the father and manager of the group, began to negotiate a lucrative contract with Epic records, which offered a royalty rate of 20% per record. The deal was completed in June 1975. As Motown owned the name The Jackson 5, the group simply renamed themselves The Jacksons.
