Gispy Girl
David Hasselhoff · Other Songs - David Hasselhoff
The still of the night
A camp fire was burning
And flickering light
Your body swayed
As I played my guitar
I don't know your name
I don't know where you are
Gipsy girl you tantalise me
Dancing in the fireglow
Gipsy girl why did you have to go
Gipsy girl your vision haunts me
Ev'ry minute of the day
Gipsy girl why did you run away
Your dark eyes were sparkling
Reflecting the fire
Your black hair was flowing
I filled with desire
Oh gipsy girl
Where are you, wish I knew
I search ev'rywhere
I dream of holding you
Gipsy girl you tantalise me
Dancing in the fireglow
Gipsy girl why did you have to go
Gipsy girl your vision haunts me
Ev'ry minute of the day
Gipsy girl why did you run away
Gipsy girl why did you leave me
Disappearing as you came
Just a shadow dancing on my brain
Gipsy girl I'm gonna find you
One day soon you'll be right there
Gipsy girl why did you disappear
Gipsy girl you tantalise me
Dancing in the fireglow
Gipsy girl why did you have to go
Gipsy girl your vision haunts me
Ev'ry minute of the day
Gipsy girl why did you run away
Gipsy girl why did you leave me
Disappearing as you came
Just a shadow dancing on my brain
Gipsy girl I'm gonna find you
One day soon you'll be right there
Gipsy girl why did you disappear
