Cupid's Knee

I've been careful, I’ve been cold
I've been lonely, so I’m told
I've been hanging out until the daylight comes
I've been looking for someone

Someone to hold me through the darkest night
Someone whose kisses just set me right
A touch of warmth  and a sweet caress
A touch of love’s tenderness

And I want you
I need you
I love you
What are you gonna do about me
Love is only human
It's blind and cannot see
You caught me on Cupid's Knee

Used to be I was just holding on
I set my sights on what I wanted to get done
I'd taken on that old race at dawn
Fight the good fight  until the war is won

But time goes sifting through an hourglass
Hold real still, you can watch it pass
I stopped and saw the road I'd headed on
It was a dead end street without someone

I want you
I need you
I love you
What are you gonna do about me
Love is only human
It's blind and cannot see
You caught me on Cupid's Knee

I'm not looking for a guarantee
I'm not asking you to marry me
Time has taught me to expect much less
No need to put it down to such a test

But I've been careful, I've been cold
It's a tougher game once you start getting old
Hanging out until that daylight comes
You know, it takes a while to find someone

And I want you
I need you
I love you
What are you gonna do about me
Love is only human
It's blind and cannot see
You caught me on Cupid's Knee
Oh, you caught me
You caught me
