So I'm back, to the velvet underground
Back to the floor, that I love
To a room with some lace and paper flowers
Back to the gypsy that I was
To the gypsy... that I was
And it all comes down to you
Well, you know that it does
And lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
oh, and it lights up the night
And you see your gypsy
You see your gypsy
To the gypsy that remains faces freedom with a little fear
I have no fear, I have only love
And if I was a child
And the child was enough
Enough for me to love
Enough to love
She is dancing away from you now
She was just a wish
She was just a wish
And a memory is all that is left for you now
You see your gypsy
You see your gypsy
Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you
"
And it all comes down to you
Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you
I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes
I have always loved you
And it all comes down to you

Put on da skillet for shortnin bread,
Shortnin bread and it baked thin,

Cried a little baby a-lyin in bed,

De odder little fella sick in de bed,
When he hear tell of shortnin bread,
He popped up well,

Mammy's little baby loves shortnin',bread,
Mammy's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin',
