Invitation to the Blues Lyrics

Artist: Jennifer Warnes
Album: The Well

Well, sheâ‚¬â„¢s up against the register
An apron and a spatula
With yesterdayâ‚¬â„¢s deliveries
And tickets for bachelors
Sheâ‚¬â„¢s a moving violation
From her conk down to her shoes
But sheâ‚¬â„¢s just an invitation to the blues

But you feel like cagney
And she looks like Rita Hayworth
At the counter of the Schwabâ‚¬â„¢s drugstore
You wonder if she might be single
Sheâ‚¬â„¢s a loner, likes to mingle
Got to be patience, try to pick up a clue
She says how you gonna likeâ‚¬â„¢em
Medium or scrambled?
Any way is the only way
Be careful not to gamble
On a guy with a suitcase
And a ticket getting out here
Itâ‚¬â„¢s tired bus station
And an old pair of shoes
Ainâ‚¬â„¢t nothing but an invitation to the blues

But you canâ‚¬â„¢t take your eyes off her
Get another cup of java
And itâ‚¬â„¢s just the way she pours it for you
Joking with the customers
Oh mercy, Mr. Percy!
There ainâ‚¬â„¢t nothing back in jersey
But a broken down jalopy
Of a man i left behind
And a dream that i was chasing
A battle with booze
An open invitation to the blues

Ah, but sheâ‚¬â„¢s had a sugar daddy
And a candy apple caddy
A bank account and everything
Accustomed to the finer things
He left her for a socialite
He didnâ‚¬â„¢t love her except at night
And then heâ‚¬â„¢s drunk
And never even told her that he cared
So she took the registration
Car keys and her shoes
Left with an invitation to the blues

Now thereâ‚¬â„¢s continental trailways leaving
Local bus tonight, good evening
You can have my seat
Iâ‚¬â„¢m sticking round here for a while
Get a room at squire
The filling stationâ‚¬â„¢s hiring
And I can cat here every night
What the hell have I got to lose
Got a crazy sensation
Go or stay, I gotta choose
Iâ‚¬â„¢ll accept your invitation to the blues
