Gypsy Woman

I was a fool I was so much younger then

The night she took me by surprise

I should have known all the trouble that I'd be in

But then she hooked me with those eyes

Her drink was gin as she said "Tonight would never gonna end"

But her love weighed so heavy on my mind

For she was the live in lover of a drummer I called my friend

She weren't nothing but a gypsy in disguise

Hey gypsy woman how'd you do that to me

Gypsy woman stole my heart and then you set me free

Gypsy woman how'd you learn to lie like that

Gypsy woman come on back

Spending my wages on roses and on wine

We'd ride the days and we'd dance the nights

All the things we could do in my old V W

The city lights never seemed so bright from the reservoir

And my friends they would warn me

Saying she's one fickle queen

You better get out while the getting is good my friend

And besides her old drummer man is looking

And he's so big and bad and mean

But what I didn't know then

Is what I know too well

She played me like a violin

Hey gypsy woman how'd you do that to me

Gypsy woman stole my heart and then you set me free

Gypsy woman how'd you learn to love like that

Gypsy woman come on back

So you tell me that you're leaving me now

After all the times that we have been through

As your clown how am I gonna ever go home

Somebody tell me what am I gonna do baby oh baby

And so it goes I've lost my pride and lost my job

This gypsy woman took nearly every thing I called my own

It was a big surprise so next time she comes dancing

Prancing through the town, gonna recognize the gypsy

I'm gonna recognize the gipsy, gonna recognize the gypsy in disguise
