Poison Arrow Lyrics
If I were to say to you
"Can you keep a secret?"
Would you know just what to do
Or where to keep it?
Then I say "I love you,"
And the foul situation
"Hey girl, I thought we were
The right combination."
Who broke my heart?
You did, you did
Bow to the target,
Blame Cupid, Cupid
You think you're smart
Stupid, Stupid
CHORUS:
Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow
Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow
No rhythm in cymbals
No tempo in drums
Love on arrival
She comes when she comes
Right on the target
But wide of the mark
What I thought was fire
Was only the spark
The sweetest melody is an unheard refrain
So lower your sights
Yeah but raise your aim
Raise you aim
Who broke my heart?
You did, you did
Bow to the target,
Blame Cupid, Cupid
You think you're smart
Stupid, Stupid.
CHORUS
"I thought you loved me but it seems you don't care."
"I care enough to know I can never love you."
Who broke my heart?
You did, you did
Bow to the target
Blame Cupid
You think you're smart
That's stupid
Right from the start
When you knew we would part
CHORUS
Shoot that poison arrow
"Can you keep a secret?"
Would you know just what to do
Or where to keep it?
Then I say "I love you,"
And the foul situation
"Hey girl, I thought we were
The right combination."
You did, you did
Bow to the target,
Blame Cupid, Cupid
You think you're smart
Stupid, Stupid
Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow
Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow
No tempo in drums
Love on arrival
She comes when she comes
Right on the target
But wide of the mark
What I thought was fire
Was only the spark
So lower your sights
Yeah but raise your aim
Raise you aim
You did, you did
Bow to the target,
Blame Cupid, Cupid
You think you're smart
Stupid, Stupid.
"I care enough to know I can never love you."
You did, you did
Bow to the target
Blame Cupid
You think you're smart
That's stupid
Right from the start
When you knew we would part

ABC rocks! This is a classic, such a great song with great lyrics! I miss the days when disco was fading!

You confuse me :)
You confuse me :)
love this song me n mates always go crazy wen we hear it i don't know y...
FUCKING AMAZING
Love this band when they first appeared on the music scene (at least in the U.S.). Love this track...the entire album it's off from actually. Apparently a song about love not returned, which is sad...but I still love this track due to its flow/beat and everything else I am unable to describe musically :)
This seems to be a very straightforward song. A man has confessed his love for a girl but is rejected a cruel way. He then proceeds to use a poison arrow as an analogy for how she broke his heart.
