When I lost my baby I almost lost my mind When I lost my baby I almost lost my mind My head's in a spin since she's left me behind I went to see the gypsy And had my fortune read I went to see the gypsy And had my fortune read I hung my head in sorrow when she said what she said She said, she said: "It's so hard to love somebody And no, she don't love you And it's so hard when there's nobody And not somebody to tell your sorrows to" You know, I really didn't need this lady To tell the things I always knew Mmm, I can tell you, people The news was not so good I can tell you, people The news was not so good She said: "Your baby's left you" "This time she's gone for good"
