Gypsy Rose (Tear of the Doleman)
A touch of morning makeup
Upon her perfect face
Covering every line
And everyday she wakes up
Embellishing her grace
She’s a beauty by design
An expert at the game of love
A jui jitsu of disguise
With a jewel beneath her cover
She’ll take you by surprise
She’s irresistible
And she’s so incredible
Be my only one and all
I send her flowers when I call for her
She’s my gypsy rose she shines
She gets me going every time she touches me
(instrumental)
She’s an independent spirit
A wing upon the wind
The genie in a flask
Her heartbeat I can hear it
Soft as the texture of her skin
As I feel her hook unclasp
A magician’s got no reckoning
Of the power of her scent
Every night’s a one night stand
And by each morning I am spent
She’s irresistible
And she’s so incredible
Be my only one and all
I send her flowers when I call for her
She’s my gypsy rose she shines
She gets me going every time she touches me
