Dm                             C
The gentle man caller in the blue suede shoes
               Gm
He don't know what to do -
                       F
he just wants to look good for you
Dm                                   C
So he rushes in to tell you what he did today,
                       Gm
But he can't think of what to say.
                      F
I think you'll listen anyway

Chorus:
Gm A#               F         C             Gm
He wants to have a good time just like everybody
A#                  F       C
He doesn't want to fall apart

You watch him as he stutters over what to say
It's just a little game you play
It's no easier for you some days
You wish that you could tell him it’ll be okay
But you feel a little shy these days
'Cause everybody goes away

Chorus:
You just want to have a good time
Just like everybody else
You don’t want to fall apart

I can look into your eyes and see the mess we’re in
Well darling, if it's shit came out
Then I suppose that it's shit went in
Even though I couldn’t say
I been the places that you’ve been
You know he made my heart real strong
Even if he made my head real thin

Chorus:
I want to have a good time
Just like everybody else
I don’t want to fall apart this time
So would you please invite me in

So would you please invite me in?
I really love the red-haired girls
I'm just another boy from Texas
C'mon and take a spin
I got a brand new set of wings

Oh, I really, really love the red-haired girls
I'm just another boy from Texas
C'mon and take a spin
Hey, I got a brand new set of wings

Man, I sure do love them red-haired girls
I'm just like all the boys from Texas
Come on, take a spin
Hey little girl, I got a brand new set of wings
