You're Invited
Vince Neil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Want to cut me down to size
Show me what you're gonna do
It's true
Who's that gorilla standin' by your side
Oh, no, it must be your ride
You wouldn't be with such a fool
Or your mama too
There's a party but it isn't for three
Get something straight between you and me
Because...
Whoa, no, you're invited but your friend can't come
Whoa, no, no, come on baby gonna have some fun...wow
Heartbreaker yeah you came for the show
But little did you know
You'd end up in the spotlight
Well alright
Come on baby won't you show me what you got
Ready or not...one, two, here we go
Oh, no...
Nobody's watchin' now it's time to decide
Shake the monkey, mama, don't be shy
Come on honey time to take a little ride
Because...
Whoa, no, you're invited but your friend can't come
Whoa, no, no, come on baby gonna have some fun...
Whoa no, you're invited but your friend can't come
(said your friend can't come)
C'mon baby gonna have some fun
Rock the night like a hurricane
Make me sweat like the drivin' rain
Pour it on till I can't get no reaction
It's gonna be your night tonight
I'm gonna make you feel alright
Scream and shout, I need it now
Now! Now! Now, now, now, now!
I'm making plans for the rest of the night
So tell your guard dog that he'd better not bite
My dogs are bigger and they're ready to fight
So come on, come on, come on, give it up tonight!
Whoa, no, you're invited but your friend can't come
Whoa, no, no, come on baby gonna have some fun
Whoa, no, you're invited but your friend can't come
(said your friend can't come)
Whoa, no, come on babe, we're gonna have some fun, yeah
We're gonna have some fun
We're gonna have some fun
We're gonna have some fun, baby
Oh, but she can't come...
The lyrics of Vince Neil's song You're Invited tell the story of a man who sets his eyes on a woman at a party and wants her to himself. He notices a gorilla-like man standing by her side and assumes that it is her ride or a foolish companion that she wouldn't be with. The man then invites the woman to come with him and points out that there is a party but it isn't for three, suggesting that her friend needs to stay behind. The chorus repeats, "Oh no you're invited but your friend can't come," as the man tries to convince the woman to go with him.
The song seems to be about the excitement and power of sexual attraction and the desire to have someone all to oneself. The lyrics emphasize the man's determination and confidence as he tries to win over the woman. The bridge of the song builds up to a climax, with the man urging the woman to "rock the night like a hurricane" and promising to make her feel all right.
Overall, the song portrays a dominant and assertive attitude towards pursuing sexual relationships, which may be controversial or problematic for some listeners.

I'm watching this in 2024. This was my teen years
I loved this song. I used to say this. Lol
@billyaltavator5425
This song kicks ass. Vince Neils Exposed is a underrated glam metal gem of a album. Steve Stevens shreds on the guitar.
@rodendsley4401
He temporarily parted ways with Motley Crue, another of saying it is he was kicked out because they got tired his b.s. Fame can do that to the best of us and bring out the worst in us.
@user-vr8qd2fe1k
This version is a soundtrack version and is not played by Steve Stevens🎸
The guitarist on this version is the songwriter of this song, Tommy Shaw of the EX: Styx, and Damn Yankees
@p.g.8138
@@user-vr8qd2fe1k You're correct Tommy Shaw is playing even though he isn't in video. Vince Neil is credited as song writer from what I read.
@depechebox
Tommy Shaw played lead guitar in this version, Steve Stevens played lead on the album version
@Love-Fist
No doubt Steve Stevens is awesome here
Too bad the album was a bust.
Decent but nothing like when David Lee Roth went solo.
@user-cb2lz8yy9s
This song was and still is a banger. That scene where they open the doors to the hockey rink and this song pops on, is still bad ass.
@ReverendBrown.
Shush!!!!!!!!!😂😂😂
@savagex466-qt1io
Dont even get me started man. I love rock and roll like this. That my favorite sceen. ! To cool !
