When you look into my eyesAnd you see the crazy gypsy in my soulIt always comes as a surpriseWhen I feel my withered roots begin to growWell I never had a place that I could call my very ownThat's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home
Call me a joker, call me a fool, right at this moment I'm totally cool.
They're sharing a drink they call loneliness But it's better than drinking alone.
Call me a joker, call me a foolRight at this moment I'm totally cool.
I've only felt content a few times in my life, and it never lasted. I'm very discontented right now. There are situations in my life that didn't pan out. I'm like most other human beings. I try and I fail.

Don't go trying some new fashionDon't change the color of your hair. . . .I could not love you any betterI love you just the way you are.
Don't go trying some new fashion Don't change the color of your hair. . . . I could not love you any better I love you just the way you are.
Don't go changing, to try and please me You never let me down before Don't imagine you're too familiar And I don't see you anymore I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble We never could have come this far I took the good times, I'll take the bad times I'll take you just the way you are.
Don't go changing, to try and please meYou never let me down before.
