[Verse 1]

When I was just a young boy

Sixteen or so

I kept these magazines

And I never told a soul and

Maybe I'm going crazy

But I saw that cover girl tonight

She had a [?]

She's looking so damn fine


[Pre-Chorus]

But now I go home to an empty bed

With a dizzy head, and a hangover to come

So I pray to God and hope he hears me

That she comes knocking at my door

And I say, "Thank you God"


[Chorus]

And my heart falls down

And I stand alone

She walked on in, so full of sin

This girl called Gypsy Rose

And my eyes they burn

And she's turning me to stone

She stood right there with [?]

Making my kingdom come

Cause she's sweet, sweet like sugar

Miss Gypsy Rose

Oh Miss Gypsy Rose

Miss Gypsy Rose


[Verse 2]

One night we spent together

I'll never be the same

I'm hers forever

Now, no, no one could blame me

She brought me so close to heaven

I saw the good lord on his throne

But somehow, when I woke up the next morning

I woke up on my own


[Pre-Chorus]

So now I roam around all over town

Asking on the streets where she might be

'Til one day I found the man at an old news stand

Who brought me out a top shell magazine

And now she was dressed as a beauty queen


[Chorus]

And my heart falls down

And I stand alone

She walked on in, so full of sin

This girl called Gypsy Rose

And my eyes they burn

And she's turning me to stone

She stood right there with [?]

Making my kingdom come

Cause she's sweet, sweet like sugar

Miss Gypsy Rose


[Outro]

Cause she's sweet, sweet like sugar

Miss Gypsy Rose
