Frontwoman Emily Haines told Drowned in Sound that she and guitarist/producer James Shaw felt the need to revamp this track. Said Haines:
In its first version this song had different lyrics in the chorus which referenced the Greek myth of Cupid and Psyche. When we played the song live a few times I...
[Verse 1]
Watch out, Cupid stuck me with a sickness
Pull your little arrows out and let me live my life
You better watch out, Cupid stuck me with a sickness
Pull your little arrows out
Let me live my life
The one I'd better lead
All the blondes are fantasies
[Pre-Chorus]
And we looked at them eleven ways
You said, "Look at me," and looked away
And you wrote the song I wanna play
I'll write you harmony in C
[Chorus]
Everybody, everybody just wanna fall in love
Everybody, everybody just wanna play the lead
Everybody, everybody just wanna fall in love
Everybody, everybody just wanna play the lead
Play the lead, play the lead
[Verse 2]
Watch out, Cupid, money is a sick muse
Pull your little arrows out and let me live my life
She said, "I'm with stupid"
Money is a sick muse
Pull your little arrows out
Let me live my life
The one I'd better lead
All the blondes are fantasies
[Pre-Chorus]
And we looked at them eleven ways
You said, "Look at me," and looked away
And you wrote the song I wanna play
I'll write you harmony in C
[Chorus]
Everybody, everybody just wanna fall in love
Everybody, everybody just wanna play the lead
Everybody, everybody just wanna fall in love
Everybody, everybody just wanna play the lead
Play the lead, play the lead
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll write you harmony in C
[Chorus]
Everybody, everybody just wanna fall in love
Everybody, everybody just wanna play the lead
Everybody, everybody just wanna fall in love
Everybody, everybody just wanna play the lead
Play the lead, play the lead
