ABC - King Without a Crown Lyrics

Welcome to the great republic
Guess I should show you 'round
Where once I was a king
And now I am a clown, well, baby

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 it's 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 woman 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 answer phone
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

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 woman, baby
Yes, I'm a king, king, king without a crown

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
