Lyrics
Oh, make me a king today
Tomorrow, I'll throw it away
'Cause what use is a crown
If she is not around?
A bed of linen sheets
Is not where you'll find me asleep
A bed of nails will do
If I can sleep next to you
You could give me everything
The world at my feet
Still, I'd throw it all away to be next to her
Don't wake me up in the morning
If it's not her that I'm holding
If she's not there, then I don't care
And I don't want to know
Can you hear me?
I'm calling out your name as I'm falling
I could have it all
But I'd throw it all away just to be next to her
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo-doo, doo, doo-doo
If it's money or if it's fame
Then I'll pass it all the same
No glory that I'd claim
As long as she knows my name
Build me an effigy
And I'll knock it into the sea
No deity for me, worship only she
You could give me everything
The world at my feet
Still, I'd throw it all away to be next to her
Don't wake me up in the morning
If it's not her that I'm holding
If she's not there, then I don't care
And I don't want to know
Can you hear me?
I'm calling out your name as I'm falling
I could have it all
But I'd throw it all away just to be next to her
To be next to her
To be next to her
To be next to her
To be next to her
