Welcome to the great republic
Guess I should show you 'round
Where once I was a king
And now I am a clown, well, babyThe love that we once shared
Made a king of me
But now youre gone, but now youre gone
All I face is povertyKing without a heart
King without a hope
King without a woman, baby
Oh Im a king without a crownKing without a heart
King without a hope
King without a woman, baby
Oh Im a king without a crownHell hath no fury
Like a woman scorned
But Heaven dont boast, no, Heaven dont boast
The jewel, the pretty jewel, I just pawnedEvery cloud has a silver lining
Every dog has its day
Oh, but I guess the sun stopped shining
On the day you went awayKing without a heart
King without a hope
King without a woman, baby
Oh, Im a king without a crownKing without a heart
King without a hope
King without a woman, baby
Oh, Im a king without a crownKing without a heart
King without a hope
King without a woman baby
Yes Im a king, king, king without a crownBathed in former glory
Deposed from my throne
How do I get to tell my story?
When all I gets your answer phone
But you aint homeWith the love you gave
I felt like royalty
But now youre face to face, face to face
With one ex-member of the aristocracyKing without a heart
King without a hope
King without a woman, baby
Oh, Im a king without a crownKing without a heart
King without a hope
King without a woman, baby
Oh, Im a king without a crownKing without a heart
King without a hope
King without a woman, baby
Yes, Im a king, king, king without a crownTheres no need to feel down
Yeah, just take a look around
Youll see a man whos just a man
Nothing more, a king without a crown
