They began as The Buckeyes around 1955 with members Bruce Robinson and Ronnie Collins, and released two singles on the Cincinnati label Deluxe Records in 1957. In 1959 the group added Leroy Swearingen and released their first single as The Stereos, "A Love for Only You"; it flopped, and Swearingen left the group to be replaced by Nathaniel Hicks.[1] Swearingen, however, wrote the song "I Really Love You", which became their biggest hit, peaking at #15 on the U.S. Black Singles chart and #29 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] They continued releasing singles up until 1968, none of which came close to reaching the success of "I Really Love You".
George Harrison covered "I Really Love You" for his 1982 album Gone Troppo.

The Stereos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah my heart is like warm sunshine
I got your sunlight beating down on me,
From the corner of your perfect smile.
So if you feel like your love ain't strong enough
I could the one to steer it up.
Like a beat I'll drop and knock it up
My heart turned upside down,
It took a spin around
'Cause the girl I found, she got me off the ground
And I'm wrapped around her finger like a diamond ring
Cupid let me get her 'cause she makes me sing
Upside down,
It took a spin around
'Cause the girl I found, she got me off the ground
And I'm wrapped around her finger like a diamond ring
Cupid let me get her 'cause she makes me sing
I could never stand back
And let you feel lonely, lonely, lonely
And if you're ever feeling down I can be beside you,
Put your trust on me
So if you feel like your love ain't strong enough
I could the one to steer it up.
Like a beat I'll drop and knock it up
'Cause when I saw you I knew.
My heart turned upside down,
It took a spin around
'Cause the girl I found, she got me off the ground
And I'm wrapped around her finger like a diamond ring
Cupid let me get her 'cause she makes me sing
Upside down,
It took a spin around
'Cause the girl I found, she got me off the ground
And I'm wrapped around her finger like a diamond ring
Cupid let me get her 'cause she makes me sing
Hey cupid come along wash away all the rain.
Put the sunlight and love in her heart just for me.

You know I been good she's all I think about all day.
Hey cupid can't you see, she's the one that's enough.

So please hook me up.
Don't put my heart on ice, don't let me roll the dice.

My heart turned upside down,

'Cause the girl I found, she got me off the ground
And I'm wrapped around her finger like a diamond ring
Cupid let me get her 'cause she makes me sing
Upside down,
It took a spin around
'Cause the girl I found, she got me off the ground
And I'm wrapped around her finger like a diamond ring
Cupid let me get her 'cause she makes me sing
The Stereos's song Hey Cupid is a love song in which the singer expresses his feelings of being head over heels in love with a specific person. He compares the feeling to "warm sunshine" and attributes his joy to the "sunlight" he feels from the person's perfect smile. The singer proceeds to offer his support and promises to be there for his love interest when she is feeling down. He emphasizes that he will not let her feel "lonely, lonely, lonely" and that he can be trusted. He believes that his love is strong enough to overcome any challenge, and he pleads with Cupid, the god of love, to help him attain his beloved's heart.
The lyrics of Hey Cupid are straightforward and easy to understand. The song's major themes are love, devotion, and determination.

The song's chorus, "Upside down, it took a spin around, 'Cause the girl I found, she got me off the ground, And I'm wrapped around her finger like a diamond ring, Cupid let me get her 'cause she makes me sing," is a catchy and well-written section that encapsulates the song's message of love.
