Lyrics

[Verse 1] Eligible, not too stupid Intelligible and cute as Cupid Knowledgeable, but not always right Salvageable and free for the night [Chorus] Well, my heart's running 'round like a chicken with its head cut off All around the barnyard falling in and out of love The poor thing's blind as a bat Getting up, falling down, getting up Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off? Whoa, Nellie [Verse 2] My wife doesn't understand me Many dozens hope to land me I'm for free love and I'm in free fall This could be love or nothing at all [Chorus] Well, my heart's running 'round like a chicken with its head cut off All around the barnyard falling in and out of love The poor thing's blind as a bat Getting up, falling down, getting up Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off? [Bridge] We don't have to be stars exploding in the night Or electric eels under the covers We don't have to be anything quite so unreal Let's just be lovers [Chorus] Well, my heart's running 'round like a chicken with its head cut off All around the barnyard falling in and out of love Poor thing's blind as a bat Getting up, falling down, getting up Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off? It ain't pretty
