The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Broke my heart On the road Spent the weekend Sewing the pieces back on Friends and thoughts pass me by Walking gets too boring When you learn how to fly Not the homecoming kind Take the top off And who knows what you might find Won't confess all my sins You can bet I'll try it But you can't always win 'Cause I'm a gypsy Are you coming with me? I might steal your clothes And wear them if they fit me I never made agreements Just like a gypsy And I won't back down 'Cause life's already bit me And I won't cry I'm too young to die If you're gonna quit me 'Cause I'm a gypsy 'Cause I'm a gypsy I can't hide What I've done Scars remind me Of just how far that I've come To whom it may concern Only run with scissors When you want to get hurt 'Cause I'm a gypsy Are you coming with me? I might steal your clothes And wear them if they fit me I don't make agreements Just like a gypsy And I won't back down 'Cause life's already bit me And I won't cry I'm too young to die If you're gonna quit me 'Cause I'm a gypsy I said hey you You're no fool If you say "no" Ain't it just the way life goes? People fear what they don't know Come along for the ride oh yeah Come along for the ride ooh 'Cause I'm a gypsy Are you coming with me? I might steal your clothes And wear them if they fit me I never made agreements Just like a gypsy I won't back down 'Cause life's already bit me And I won't cry I'm too young to die If you're gonna quit me 'Cause I'm a gypsy
