Oh, make me a king today Tomorrow, I'll throw it away 'Cause what use is a crown If she is not around? A bed of linen sheets Is not where you'll find me asleep A bed of nails will do If I can sleep next to you You could give me everything The world at my feet Still, I'd throw it all away to be next to her Don't wake me up in the morning If it's not her that I'm holding If she's not there, then I don't care And I don't want to know Can you hear me? I'm calling out your name as I'm falling I could have it all But I'd throw it all away just to be next to her Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, doo Doo, doo-doo, doo, doo-doo If it's money or if it's fame Then I'll pass it all the same No glory that I'd claim As long as she knows my name Build me an effigy And I'll knock it into the sea No deity for me, worship only she You could give me everything The world at my feet Still, I'd throw it all away to be next to her Don't wake me up in the morning If it's not her that I'm holding If she's not there, then I don't care And I don't want to know Can you hear me? I'm calling out your name as I'm falling I could have it all But I'd throw it all away just to be next to her To be next to her To be next to her To be next to her To be next to her
