Mantrap (Theme) Lyrics

If I were to say to you, "Can you keep a secret?"
Would you know just what to do or where to keep it?
Then I say, "I love you" and foul the situation
Hey, girl, I thought we were the right combination

Who broke my heart?
You did, you did, bow to that target
Blame Cupid, blame Cupid
You think you're smart, stupid, stupid

Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow
Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow

No rhythm in cymbals, no tempo in drums
Love on the horizon lit by the sun
Right on the target but wide of the mark
What I thought was fire was only a spark

The sweetest melody
Is an unheard refrain
So lower your sights, boys
But raise your aim, raise your aim

Who broke my heart?
You did, you did, bow to that target
Blame Cupid, blame Cupid
You think you're smart, stupid, stupid
Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow
Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow

Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words, they almost killed me
You've changed your mind, now you change mine
You know you'll always thrill me

Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow
Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow

Shoot
