She grew up in san diego Her body was painted by the summer sun She rented surfboards to make her dollars So she could drift to towns along the ocean Well i met her one night when the black crowes played beach She wanted to dance so she came to me The yellow moon the drums and the white rain in her hair I fell in love with her so deep Gypsy girl why do you run? Your pretty feet must be so tired Why don't you stay a while in my arms? Gypsy girl why are you scared of love? You say love it hurt you Yes it did But it's love that could save you If you could let it back in She lives out of her red volkswagen Curtains on the windows where she sleeps at night She says boy you and me we could be ramblers If you could learn to hold me but not too tight Let me drive away from time to time Gypsy girl why do you run? Your pretty feet must be so tired Why don't you stay a while in my arms? Gypsy girl why are you scared of love? You say love it hurt you Yes it did But it's love that could save you If you could let it back in Gypsy girl why do you run? Your pretty feet must be so tired Why don't you stay a while in my arms? Gypsy girl why are you scared of love? You say love it hurt you Yes it did But it's love that could save you If you could let it back in
