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
