Lyrics Ben E. King

Ben E. King

Gypsy

I wake up weeping from my sleeping den

Oh, I wanna fall asleep again

But the memory of her burning skin

Uummhh, keeps me yearning

You know I'm yearning

Oh, oh, oh oh, oh, you gypsy, you heartbreaking gypsy

Gypsy will you ever come home

Another drink, another cigarette

Lord, I'd try anything to forget

But the memory of her burning touch

Uummh, just keeps on returning, just keeps returning

Oh, oh, oh, oh you gypsy, you heartbreaking gypsy

I said gypsy won't you ever come home

Who's gonna kiss my eyes, my eyes, my eyes, gypsy like you do

Who's gonna tell me lies, sweet lies, sweet lies

And make me believe they're true

I miss her morning kiss when I wake up

I look and I see her face there in my coffee cup

I didn't know what a-loneliness was

Baby, baby, baby, I said I'm learning

You know I'm learning

Oh, oh, oh, oh you gypsy, you heartbreaking gypsy

I said gypsy won't you ever come home

Listen to me darling, I said a-gypsy, I said a heartbreaking gypsy

I said, a-darling, won't you ever come home

Say, I'm a-lonely, I'm a-lonely, a-little

I said a-gypsy, I said a heartbreaking gypsy

I said baby just, just come on home

Hear me when I said, I said now oh gypsy

Gypsy, gypsy, heartbreaking gypsy

Gypsy won't you ever come home
