Standing Invitation - Joe South

You got a standin' invitation, now

Come on into my heart

You got a standin' invitation, baby

To come on into my heart

Gonna throw out the welcome mat

Come on, let me show where it’s at

I’m invitin' you, baby

To come along and be my girl, yeah

Every time I feel the spirit

Move down in my soul

Somethin' sure gets pullin' me

A feelin' that I can’t control

Now, I didn’t need help to fall for you

But Cupid really gave me a shove

Not my brother, not my sister, but it’s me, pretty baby

Standin' in the need of love

You got a standin' invitation, now

Come on into my heart

You got a standin' invitation, now

Come on into my heart

Gonna throw out the welcome mat

Come on, let me show you where it’s at

Now, I’m invitin' you, baby

To come along and be my, my, my girl, yeah

When I saw you just the other day

Strollin' along downtown

You turned around, smiled at me

My heart turned upside down

So anytime your little heart desires

Give my love a whirl

You got a standin' invitation, now

To come along and be my girl

You got a standin' invitation, now

Come on into my heart

Yes, standin' invitation, yeah

Come on into my heart

I think I’ll pull out the welcome mat

Come on, let me show you where it’s at

Now, I’m invitin' you, baby

Come along and be my girl

Yeah, you got a standin' invitation, yes

Come on into my heart

Yeah, standin' invitation, baby

To come on into my heart, yeah

Throw out the welcome mat

Come on, let me show you where it’s at
