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 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 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
...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
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
