I had some trouble with my baby

So I had my fortune read

I had some trouble with my baby

And this is what the gypsy said

The gypsy cried, saw through her lie <see-yeah>

<Gypsy looked in her crystal ball> <yeah-yeah>

Yi-yi-yi-yi-I love her (yeah-yeah)

A cloudy ball, third eye changed

<Beam her light in, shine through like the sun

<So, I'll play it cool> (so I'll cry)

<Kicked by the mule> (out my eye)

I'll cry, out my eyes, feels so right

<She's the cheapest flirt around>

Gypsy, oh tell me <need your help, I wanna know>

What is in your crystal ball?

Gypsy, oh tell me <need your help, I wanna know>

Will my tears fall?

She cried, oh-the lies <too little, too late>

Yi-yi-yi-yi (yi-yi) <you didn't know>

<You're not her first, she f* around

<You fool, she'll hurt your pride > and said

'Watch your step, oh fool, she'll hurt you yet'

Oh-no-no, no-no, no-no-no!

'Watch your step, oh fool, she'll hurt you yet'

Oh-no-no, no-no, no-no-no!

Gypsy, oh tell me

Does she want to marry me?

Gypsy, oh tell me

When the wedding's gonna be?

She cried, all the lies <the gypsy cried>

Yi-yi-yi-yi <she doesn't love you>

<She doesn't know that it hurts inside>

Though I know I'll cry the same

<Be a fool, she'll hurt, hurt your pride>

Cry, open my eyes <she threw you down>

<She was a cheat 'You fool, listen, now'>

Listen, to what the gypsy said

Oh, no-no, no-no, no-no-no!

Listen, to what the gypsy said

Oh, no-no, no-no, no-no-no!

Gypsy, say it isn't true

(Such a damn fool, she doesn't love you)

(Watch out! oh fool, she doesn't love you)

Gypsy say, yea-yea-yea, it isn't true-ooo

Watch out! (oh, fool she doesn't love you)

Watch out! (oh, fool she doesn't love you.
