Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd like to clip your wings so you can't fly
I'm in love and it's a crying shame
And I know that you're the one to blame
Hey hey, set me free
Stupid Cupid stop picking on me
I can't do my homework and I can't think straight
I'm acting like a lovesick fool
You've even got me carrying your books to school
Hey hey, set me free
Stupid Cupid stop picking on me
You mixed me up for good right from the very start
Hey now, go play Robin Hood with somebody else's heart
You got me jumping like a crazy clown
And I don't feature what you're putting down
Well since I kissed her loving lips of wine
The thing that bothers me is that I like it fine
Hey hey, set me free
Stupid Cupid stop picking on me
You got me jumping like a crazy clown
And I don't feature what you're putting down
Well since I kissed his loving lips of wine
The thing that bothers me is that I like it fine
Hey hey, set me free
Stupid Cupid stop picking on me
Hey hey, set me free
Stupid Cupid stop picking on me
The lyrics of "Stupid Cupid" by Francis Connie speak about the troubles caused by falling in love. In the song, the singer addresses Cupid, the Roman god of love who is known for shooting arrows that make people fall in love. She describes Cupid as a mean guy and expresses her desire to clip his wings so that he cannot fly and cause any more heartache. She goes on to say that she is in love but feels ashamed because of the trouble it is causing her. She then blames Cupid for her predicament and begs him to set her free.
The singer explains that she can't focus on her work and is always thinking about her love interest. She is behaving like a lovesick fool and has even started carrying books for her love interest to school. The singer then asks Cupid to stop picking on her and causing her such misery. She says that Cupid has mixed her up from the very start, and she urges him to play Robin Hood with somebody else's heart.
The chorus repeats twice, with the singer pleading with Cupid to set her free and stop picking on her. She says she doesn't like the way Cupid has got her jumping like a crazy clown and puts the blame on him for all her troubles. This song became a hit in the 1950s and is still popular today.
