"Not Even The King" lyrics
"Not Even The King"
Money
Some people so poor; all that they've got is money
Oh, and diamonds
Some people waste their life counting their thousands
I don't care what they're offering
How much gold they bring?
They can't afford what we've got
Not even the king
They can't afford what we've got
Not even the king
Oh, castles
Some people so lonely; what good is a castle
Surrounded by people?
But ain't got a friend that's not on the payroll
Oh, and I don't care what they bring
They can have everything
They can't afford what we've got
Not even the king
They can't afford what we've got
Not even the king
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Came charging to get what we got
They offered the crown and the offered the throne
I already got all that I want
All the king's horses and all the king's men
They came marching through
They offered the world just to have what we got
But I found the world in you
I found the world in you
So darling, listen:
Your arms around me worth more than a kingdom
Yeah, believe that
The trust that we feel the kings never felt that
Yeah, this is the song that we sing
We don't need anything
They can't afford this
This is priceless
Can't afford what we've got
Not even the king
Can't afford what we've got
Not even the king

We're growing stronger everyday now
It feels so good and there is no doubt
I will stay with you
As each morning brings sunrise
And the flowers bloom in...
James Morrison - "This Boy" This boy wants to play
There's no time left today
It's a shame 'cause he has to go home
This boy's got to work, got to sweat
Just to pay what he gets to get left all alone
But let's step outside...

Maxwell - "Love You" It's you, it's you (ooh, mm, hmm)
You come out from nowhere, disappear and reappear

But I just wanna hear your sound
And...
Leona Lewis - "Trouble" You drink more than you used to
Fell in love how, could you
Trust your heart like only fools do?
Go on, let it bleed
You smoked 10, now it's 20
Bet you wish you'd never met me
To stick around you,...
