King Without a Crown

Welcome to the great republic

Guess I should show you round

Where once I was a king

And now I am a clown

The love that we once shared

Made a king of me

But now you're gone... but now you're gone

All I face is poverty

...King without a heart

...King without a hope

...King without a woman baby

Oh I'm a king without a crown

...King without a heart

...King without a hope

...King without a woman baby

Oh I'm a king without a crown

Hell hath no fury

Like a woman scorned

But heaven don't boast - no heaven don't boast

The jewel - the pretty jewel I just pawned

Every cloud has a silver lining

Every dog has its day

Oh but I guess the sun stopped shining

On the day you went away

...King without a heart

...King without a hope

...King without a woman baby

Oh I'm a king without a crown

...King without a heart

...King without a hope

...King without a woman baby

Oh I'm a king without a crown

...King without a heart

...King without a hope

...King without a woooman baby

Yes I'm a king - king! King without a crown

Bathed in former glory

Deposed from my throne

How do I get to tell my story?

When all I get's your answerphone...

But you ain't home

With the love you gave

I felt like royalty

But now you're face to face - face to face

With one ex-member of the aristocracy

There's no need to feel down

Yeah just take a look around

You'll see a man who's just a man

Nothing more

A king without a crown
