Eligible, not too stupid,

intelligible and cute as Cupid, 
G                  D
knowledgeable, but not always right,

salvageable and free for the night.

Well my heart's running round 
                                  C 
like a chicken with its head cut off, 
     D 
all around the barnyard 
        C             G 
falling in and out of love. 
    C    D       G 
The poor thing's blind as a bat 
                                  C 
getting up, falling down, getting up.

My wife doesn't understand me.

I'm for free love, and I'm in free fall.

This could be love or nothing at all.

exploding in the night

We don't have to be

anything quite so unreal
