Otis Redding - Don't Mess With Cupid Lyrics
You must have thought my love was for fun
You tried to spend it like a dollar
You got the right string, baby
But your yo-yo is the wrong color
Cupid, he's not stupid
Don't you mess with Cupid
Cupid, he's not stupid
You thought my love was just a rug on the floor
Just to walk on and nothing more
You just don't seem to understand
That I'm a man, baby—a full-grown man
Don't you mess with Cupid
Don't you mess with Cupid
Cupid, he's not stupid
When I look for you, you're never home
Like a lamp, you turn me off and on
But like a shade that dims the light
When it's opened, I can't do nothing right
I'm warning you, baby
Don't you mess with this Cupid
Baby, he's not stupid

Otis Redding Don't Mess With Cupid Comments
Masterful gut-bucket full-time funky dance-floor-packing ROCKER. This song is the 1st thing I learned to play on guitar 🎸 in 1983 or 84!
THAT voice with THAT band= PURE MAGIC! Hard to beat the Big O!
O could kick it. SO sorry he didn't live longer what else could he have done. Sky no limit. SOUL MAN, that's who he is.
My sentiments exactly!
i just want that first 10 seconds to go on forever
Very true ma that chord progression in the intro got xtra saucy. Way ahead of his time
I swear I've heard those first 10 seconds in another song before and i really can't remember which one. Can you?
@Rafael Kasinopoulos It makes me think of Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus tbh
The King of Soul. Often imitated but never, never duplicated. We miss you Otis.
I luv these uptempos from the Big O, this 1 will get u right up & dancin. Otis had a way with words, & was way ahead of his time. I guess it's some of our destinys. I been stuck on that 1 line when he says he's a full-grown-man. Whew, did somethin 2me.
Someone should remix this with the New York Dolls cover, and have Otis and David Johansen sing together. :)
+danielscissorhands Fantastic idea.
Is very dangerous to mess with cupid
ce chanteur était un miracle de la nature
Almost fifty years old and still hot as sh*t.
B-SIDE BANGER....I LOVE THIS SONG ..AND THE PERFORMANCE FEATURED ON HIS DOCUMENTARY DVD! CLASSIC UNMATCHED OTIS!
ok i guss
