What He Wanted
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
But though he never knew
What heartache is
He went out for a single kiss
And he told his father
That he's never coming back
But maybe with a broken neck
Oh, the gypsy from the coast
And what he wanted the most
Was being on his own
All alone
In the dark and the night every light
He wants nobody to decide
And he gets in, and had it in every town
And he told me a story about every town
And it got to be the same like me
And if you like him
Just give him some money
Ah come on, like him
He's very funny
Hey, hey, hey, hey
That gypsy from the coast
And what he wanted the most
That gypsy from the coast
And what he wanted the most
All the times that he tried to lie
He was able to satisfy
All the people around
Listening to his sound
And he was crazy without no doubt
And he gets in, and had it in every town
And he told me a story about every town
And it got to be the same like me
And if you like him
Just give him some money
Ah come on, like him
He's very funny
Hey, hey, hey, hey
That gypsy from the coast
And what he wanted the most
That gypsy from the coast
And what he wanted the most
That gypsy from the coast
And what he wanted the most
That gypsy from the coast
And what he wanted the most
Hey, hey, hey, hey
That gypsy from the coast
And what he wanted the most
That gypsy from the coast
And what he wanted the most
That gypsy from the coast
And what he wanted the most
That gypsy from the coast
And what he wanted the most
And though he never knew what heartache is
He went out for a single kiss
Hey
