NICE SHOT (Straight To The Heart)
w&m by Dana Countryman
Way back in the time of the Garden of Eden,
sitting 'round all the day, munchin' fruit
Adam heard the sound of his own heart a-beatin',
when he noticed Eve in her birthday suit
That's the way it was, and will always be
Just a boy chasin' girls down through history
Doesn't it remind you of you and me,
and the moment we fell in love?
Nice shot - straight to the heart,
when Cupid takes his aim with that bow, whoa-whoa
Nice shot - straight to the heart,
and who he shoots at, you never know
I was just a target for Cupid's aim,
but don't get me wrong
'cause I won't complain
He hit me right on the mark,
and that's when I fell in love with you
Samson and Delilah had somethin' good goin',
but she didn't make the greatest spouse
She cut off his hair, but when it started back growin',
you could say he really brought down the house
Nevertheless, Cupid played his part,
but the choices Delilah made weren't too smart
The moral is be careful who captures your heart,
and choose your barber carefully
You never know when love will find ya
It could really be anywhere:
on a bus to Kansas City,
or dining at the Folies Bergère
One day love sneaks right up behind ya ,
all at once, your true love is there
And you're hummin' a new ditty,
dancing' on a cloud of air, yay yay!
I was just a target for Cupid's aim,
but don't get me wrong
'cause I won't complain
He hit me right on the mark,
and that's when I fell in love with you
(Right on the mark,
and that's when I fell in love with you)
Right on the mark,
and that's when I fell in love with you
Nice Shot, Straight To The Heart

This artist remains a mystery. He never performs live in concert, these days. Deeply allergic to hip-hop and most modern radio sounds, he stays happy in his retro pop world.
