Lyrics

Verse 1:
I'm not a ladys' man, my options are few
There's someone for everyone, too bad it wasn't you
Uptown: I bought a round
Midtown: we fooled around
Downtown: I fell in love
BringDown: you said let's be friends

Pre-Chorus 1:
an angel without wings, not dressed for the part
a smile of velvet aimed right at my heart
Then she says let's be friends, how can I pretend

Chorus:
It happens every time I start the mating waltz
The love arrow flies but Cupids' aim is false
He always misses her while my heart is struck
I'm Cupids' sitting duck this is why life sux this is why life sux

Verse 2:
I'm not a ladys' man, that you can see,
There's someone for everyone, I hope that works for me
Uptown: you're in the arms of another
Midtown: we avoid each other
Downtown: I'm still in love
BringDown: we're still just 'friends'

Pre-Chorus 2:
was it true love or false hope? I can't tell I can't cope
my angel without wings moved on to better things
no grand love just a fling I was just her plaything
my greatest of fears: she's jerking my tears

Chorus:
It happens every time I start the mating waltz
The love arrow flies but Cupids' aim is false
He always misses her while my heart is struck
I'm Cupids' sitting duck this is why life sux this is why life sux

(Solo)

Chorus:
It happens every time I start the mating waltz
The love arrow flies but Cupids' aim is false
He always misses her while my heart is struck
I'm Cupids' sitting duck this is why life sux this is why life sux
