Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why do you play those games?
You know it ain't right
Why do you act that way?
You know it ain't right
[Verse 2]
They don't even know your name, girl
All they know is how to cry
[Verse 3]
Oh, that evil in your eyes
You know it ain't right
Your secrets and your lies
You know it ain't right
[Verse 4]
They don't even know where you come from
They don't ever know where you go
[Chorus]
That's why they call you gypsey girl
'Cause you use 'em
That's why they call you gypsey girl
Then you leave them
That's why they call you gypsey girl
You don't need them
Running 'round from town to town
Don't it ever get you down?
Have you got no feelings at all?
That's why they call you gypsey girl
That's why they call you gypsey girl
[Verse 5]
Look at your crystal ball
You know it ain't right
Somehow you're gonna fall
You know it ain't right
[Verse 6]
Never know which way you're going
Never know which way is home
[Chorus]
That's why they call you gypsey girl
'Cause you use 'em
That's why they call you gypsey girl
Then you leave them
That's why they call you gypsey girl
You don't need them
Running 'round from town to town
Don't it ever get you down?
Have you got no feelings at all?
That's why they call you gypsey girl
That's why they call you gypsey girl
[Chorus]
That's why they call you gypsey girl
That's why they call you gypsey girl
That's why they call you gypsey girl
That's why they call you gypsey girl
That's why they call you gypsey girl
That's why they call you gypsey girl
That's why they call you gypsey girl
That's why they call you gypsey girl
That's why they call you gypsey girl
