"No To A King" lyrics

Hush now, nobody wants to hear
Don't say another word, quiet little bird
Don't question the way that things are run
And try not to be seen, it's no place for a queen

I only knew a man in charge, I didn't know what power was
This palace that you locked me in was designed for you to be king
Hung me from your puppet strings, dressed me up and made me sing
I didn't know any better, nobody told me that I could say no to a king

Are you happy high up on your throne
Looking down on all you own, your pound of flesh turned into stone?
You didn't see me when you looked me up and down
Kept my eyes on the ground trying to stop the screaming in my head spilling out

I only knew a man in charge, I didn't know what power was
This palace that you locked me in was designed for you to be king
Hung me from your puppet strings, dressed me up and made me sing
I didn't know any better, nobody told me that I could say no to a king

Smile, look, listen to me like a good girl
Chill out, Cilmi, there's a good girl, there's a good, good girl
Make them think you're a bad girl, no one cares for a sad girl
Ride that wave like a cowgirl, there's a good, good girl

I only knew a man in charge, I didn't know what power was
This palace that you locked me in was designed for you to be king
Hung me from your puppet strings, dressed me up and made me sing
I didn't know any better, nobody told me that I could say no to a king
