-you read the papers today?-
    I read the news today oh boy,
  About a tragic comedy
  Newspaper hinted suicide,
  The letterhead read Dear Johnny
  A tainted truth was all it said,
  Sleep tight now that
  You've made your bed
  An arrow that once pierced your 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
  CUPID'S DEAD, HEADLINES READ,
  CUPID'S DEAD
    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
    '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
    CUPID'S DEAD,
    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
  Nor 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
