Skeeter Davis Lost To A Geisha Girl
There's a rattle in the paper from the tremble of my
hand
Each time I read the note you sent from the island of
Japan
Now you say you found another that has made your life
worthwhile
And I've lost you to a geisha girl dressed in oriental
style.
I don't believe in tea leaves or the writing in the
sand
You've let a foreign woman prove the weakness of a man
Where the dim lights of a tea house makes a lonely
heart grow wild
I've lost you to a geisha girl dressed in oriental
style.

Does the beauty of the islands and your oriental love
Make the moon and stars seem brighter as they shine
each night above
Why a love song with no meaning makes you happy I don't
know
I've lost you to a geisha girl where the ocean breezes
blow.
I don't believe in tea leaves or the writing in the
sand
You've let a foreign woman prove the weakness of a man
Where the dim lights of a tea house makes a lonely
heart grow wild
I've lost you to a geisha girl dressed in oriental
style...
