Shakira —
Gypsy

Lyrics and Music by Shakira, Amanda Ghost, Ian Dench, Evan Rogers and Carl Sturken

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.

Chorus:
     ‘Cause I’m a gypsy.
     Are you coming with me?
     I might steal your clothes
     And wear them if they fit me.

     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.

Chorus:
     ‘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. Uuh.

Chorus:
     ‘Cause I’m a gypsy.
     Are you coming with me?
     I might steal your clothes
     And wear them if they fit me.

     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.
