Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Pull me up a chair And keep your money There's no guarantees Won't you please forgive me? But you know cold-blooded women make me sneeze And I'll kick you out the door If for just one minute you lie They'll come crashing through the wall And leave you crawling 'til the minute you die Won't you sell a drink or three And maybe we'll think clearer for a while You may be an embarassment But I love the way your clothes are never in style If this much is too easy I'm dying to be some kind of whore Well you swear that you're original, I know But I know I've seen those jealous eyes before So steal a watch right off my wrist Oh and shake me by the hand We could disappear for days And they wouldn't understand Gypsy blood will get you far And we will not miss you when you go Tear another whole in my brown shoes And we can all sleep for a while Well I told you once before I love your braces and your hesitant smile Please don't get me wrong It's only right that you can stamp on my heart Well I see you and your friends someplace You know I just can't tell you apart And though they'll hunt you like a dog But they won't take you alive Cause your made big piles of money Stacked up twenty storeys high Well the boys in every bar They will not miss you when you go So steal the watch right off my wrist Oh and shake me by the hand We could disappear for days And they wouldn't understand Gypsy blood will get you far Though it's far away from me Look me up when you get home Well they'll hunt you like a dog But they won't take you alive Cause you made big piles of money Twenty storeys high The boys in every bar Well they'll miss you when you're gone You can tell a Heady Tale Will you both please scream along? Lala Lala Lala...
