   Lyrics: 
        Verse 1: 
                (Rhy.Fig.1) 
                Gypsy, sitting looking pretty 
                a broken rose with laughing eyes 
 
                (Rhy.Fig.1) 
                You're a myst'ry, always running wild 
                like a child without a home 
 
                (Rhy.Fig.1) 
                You're always searching, searching for a feeling 
                but it's easy come and easy go.... 
 
                ohoh, I'm sorry but its.... 
 
   Pre chorus:
