She rolled into town like a desert wind
Dressed in red silk and a devilish grin
Her dark eyes danced like a fire untamed
And I swear the night whispered her name
She played the fiddle by the old saloon
Every note howled at the rising moon
A thousand men tried to win her heart
But she left 'em with whiskey and a world torn apart
Gypsy woman, you're under my skin
Got me chasing shadows where you've been
You steal my breath with a glance, a smile
Gypsy woman, you've got me beguiled
She told me tales of a world unknown
Where freedom runs wild and love's never owned
Said, "Catch me if you can, but don't you dare try
I'm like a bird with the wind in the sky
I bought her roses, I bought her gold
But she just laughed, "You can't buy a soul
Still, I follow her trails like a moth to flame
This gypsy woman, driving me insane
Gypsy woman, you're under my skin
Got me chasing shadows where you've been
You steal my breath with a glance, a smile
Gypsy woman, you've got me beguiled
I see her dancing on the edge of dreams
A haunting melody, or so it seems
Her voice, a spell that I can't break free
A wanderer's love, it's the death of me
Gypsy woman, you're under my skin
Got me chasing shadows where you've been
You steal my breath with a glance, a smile
Gypsy woman, you've got me beguiled
Now I'm a drifter, just like her kind
Searching the earth, but she's hard to find
Gypsy woman, wherever you roam
Know you've cursed my heart to never go home
