King Without A Crown - ABC

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
