Ben Kweller - Gypsy Rose lyrics

rate me

Oh gypsy rose

I will wait for your sun to shine

Now youve got me goin somewhere no one could find

All in my life its the world that makes me cry

Oh summer day go back home

give your body away

milky arms and legs wrap around this neglected frame

and the world will make you cry

yea the world wont tell you why

but this world wont make you die

cuz i loved you right

Oh gypsy rose

you got me swallowed up in your streets

Bring your food, money, shoes

just to lie here with you beneath your sheets

I see hope in your eyes

its the world that makes you cry

Rose I got no friends

I got no kids and i dont got kin

my one salvation is the warmth of your skin

and this world will make you cry

yea the world will make you lie

oh the world will suck you dry

oh but i love you right

Oh summer day go back home

give your body away

and when i wake

youll have saved my life
