Lyrics for Shanell feat. Nicki Minaj – Cupid’s Got A Gun

(I make hits, not the public
I tell the DJ what to play, understand?)

Shanell
You watched me fall
Stood over me as I hit the ground
Then he whispered his name in my ear
Such a dark familiar sound

Cupid’s got a gun
And he shot me with it
Cupid’s got a gun
And he shot me with it
Now who said he’s a lover
Really he’s a murderer

Nicki Minaj
Crush crush crush, why you crush my heart
Why, when I try and leave, why you crush my car
Why you Crush crush crush, why you crush my heart
Why, when I try and leave, why you crush my car

Hit on my love, fee surf
Man I should have known he would do me dirt
So miserable i’ma storm through the puddle
Cupid’s got a weapon gotta put up with the devil
Tell him that I’m done tell him that I’m not here
Hit him with a lamp I’ma hit him with a chair
Know the two sign, I’m gun gomenasai slow mo (?).. twice come pick up

Now, (now) Go with your guy, go back back (back) and fuck em
Now, go and get your gun, (yo) click click clack let him…

Shanell
I I I I thought I could trust him
But I I I I didn’t see it coming
Cos cupid’s got a gun
And he shot me with it
Cupid’s got a gun
And he shot me with it
Now who said he’s a lover
Really he’s a murderer

Nicki Minaj
Crush crush crush, why you crush my heart
Why, when I try and leave, why you crush my car
Why you Crush crush crush, why you crush my heart
Why, when I try and leave, why you crush my car

Shanell
I should have known
By the way he took my breath away
And the way he held me
Often hurt me
He told me love was pain
I saw the winding road
Spinning out of control
Surrendered to his wrong direction
Now I don’t know where to go (ooh)
Cause cupid’s got a gun
Cupid’s got a gun
Now who said he’s a lover
Really he’s a murderer

Cupid’s got a gun
And he shot me with it
Cupid’s got a gun
And he shot me with it
Now who said he’s a lover
Really he’s a murderer
