The gypsy spread the tea leaves
To find the reason why
You took my heart and broke it
And told me all those lies
The sign of loving someone
Was seen there in the leaves
But why was it another?
Why couldn't it be me?
The tea leaves are just one way
To show me I have lost
Someone near to me
Someone dear to me
For her I'll pay the cost
The gypsy broke my heart, dear
Though I know she meant no harm
There were teardrops on the tea leaves
Because you're in another's arms
The tea leaves are just one way
To show me I have lost
Someone near to me
Someone dear to me
For her I'll pay the cost
The gypsy broke my heart, dear
Though I know she meant no harm
There were teardrops on the tea leaves
Because you're in another's arms
