You read the papers today? I read the news today oh boy

About a tragic comedy

Newspaper hinted suicide

The letterhead read dear Johnny The tainted truth was all it said

Sleep tight now that you've made your bed

An arrow that once pierced my heart

Points to the apple on your head Three sides to

Every story

Yours, mine and Monday morning's Cupid's dead, headlines read

Cupid's dead, oh no no

Cupid's dead, headlines read

Cupid's dead, oh no no Oh, Romeo, oh, Romeo

Where did our love go, Romeo?

If you read between the headlines

You wouldn't be the last to know No mystery yet to unfold

A paperboy left in the cold

A love was said to never die

Withered away and just got old Three sides to

Every story

Yours, mine and Monday morning's Cupid's dead, headlines read

Cupid's dead, oh no no

Cupid's dead, headlines read

Cupid's dead, oh no no no no Our top story tonight, is a crime of passion

The victim, an unidentified man

Is found in bed, wearing only a diaper

Holding a bow an arrow in one hand

And clutching a letter in the other

The letter simply read, Cupid's dead Extra, extra

Extra

Read all about it

Extra {Cupid is dead, deceased, I got peace of mind

Still it's hard to forget, what it leaves behind

A lot of love lost, your feelings are wasted

Tasted the sweetness, but now you're faced with} {The thought, of being alone, no more companionship

You can handle it, just abandon it

Leave it behind, and look for the brighter day

Give it some time, 'cause it won't come right away} {You gotta be standing strong, hold on to your dignity

Don't sit around, saying look what ya did to me

It's time to move on, you gotta continue} {To look for a love, of a life that's within you

Cupid is dead now, it's time to rely on, yourself to cope

You got no shoulder to cry on dead} Cupid's dead
