Gypsy


The word "gypsy" according to the dictionary is a member of a race of wandering people. To me the word has a special ring. I get the image of someone unbound by anything, free-spirited and master of his/her own life. Maybe I was one in some past life for not so deep inside I feel like a gypsy.

Shakira did a great job with her song which of course I happen to love.
Check it out:

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

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
Shakira Gypsy lyrics found on http://www.lyricsty.com/lyrics/s/shakira/gypsy.html
Only run with scissors when you want to get hurt

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, whoo-hoo

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
