King for a Day lyrics

There's no way

I'm coming back to you

I just stopped to say

That everything we did is through

You tried to undermine

The better ranges of my nature

But soon you're going to find

You should have started talking straighter

Now don't you worry

I won't put you down

I'm in no hurry, babe

To see you go to ground

Because it's true what they say

You know, it's true what they say

You're only king for a day

I hope you're happy that way

There's no hope

For peace and reconciliation

You're quick to play your hand

But what you haven't learnt is patience

So look before you leap

To tell the world your coloured story

It's clear your talk is cheap

Do anything to get your glories

So spread your wings and fly

There is no doubt

You're so sure inside, you've got something to

Shout about

Because it's true what they say

You know, it's true what they say

You're only king for a day

I guess you're happy that way

And there's no love

Ever to be lost between us

I guess this is because

The damage you've done is so grievous

So I hang my head

To dwell on what might have been

But what you left instead

Pieces of a broken dream

Now don't you worry

I won't put you down

I'm in no hurry, babe

To see you go to ground

Because it's true what they say

You know, it's true what they say

You're only king for a day

I guess you're happy that way

So spread your wings and fly

There is no doubt

You're so sure inside, you've got something to

Something to shout about

Because it's true what they say

You know, it's true what they say

You're only king for a day

I guess you're happy that way

Don't you see that

You're only king for a day

You must believe that...
