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 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

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 like that

Gypsy woman come on back

Spending my wages on rose and wine

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

The things we could do in my old VW

The city lights never seemed so bright from the reservoir

And my friends they would warn me saying she's one fickle queen

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

Chorus

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

And so it goes I lost my pride

And I 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 gypsy

Gonna recognize the gypsy in disguise
