Gypsy Woman
Cherlene Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gypsy woman, who's this I got in my head?
Gypsy woman, who's this living in my head?
Feels a lot like me, but I don't know who me is
Gypsy woman, tell me where I am
Gypsy woman, tell me where I've been

I've been around a thousand lives and then
Time and again, I've been searching for my man Time and again, I've been searching for my man
I've been a rolling tide and a black owl, plus a friend

Gypsy woman, tell me where I'm going to be
Gypsy woman, tell me where I'm going to be
I don't have the time to wonder why
I just want to get there
Gypsy lover, lover come to rise
Gypsy lover, lover come to hide

Lost in a crossroad turning me all around
Lost in a crossroad turning me upside down
Lost in a crossroad turning me all around

Gypsy woman, how long you've been trapped inside?
I saw you in a rose, it was then you crossed my mind
Then that rose rose up and took me again
Gypsy woman, take this out of my brain
Gypsy woman, I think I'm going insane
I'm reaching out to your crystal ball room affair

Gypsy woman
Gypsy woman
Gypsy woman
Help me gypsy woman
Help me gypsy woman
Help me gypsy woman
Gypsy woman




Gypsy woman
