I just can't seem to get you off my mind
feel like I'm on the outside lookin' inside
the night is closin' in, don't know where I've been
and it ain't no lie, some you just can't win
this crown it weighs a ton, it's hard to keep it on...
I'm the king of the brokenhearted, don't you know it's gettin' lonely up here
I'm the king of the brokenhearted, I'd give up everything for a little bit of love.
Been a gambler in the gilded palace of sin
faced the odds and lost, joker with a grin
but love is not a joke, it fades away like smoke
it can turn your luck around, leave you down and broke
but I can take the pain, I'll make it right again...
I'm the king of the brokenhearted, can't stand to be lonely, I swear
I'm the king of the brokenhearted, I'd give up everything for a little bit of love.
In this mixed-up world every dog has its day
I'd mend my aching heart if I had my way
put on my special smile and wear my sunday best
place my bid on life, like everybody else
think I'll do all I can do to forget about you...
I'm the king of the brokenhearted, I got used to bein' lonely, I swear
I'm the king of the brokenhearted, I'd give up everything
give up everything, don't you know...
I'm the king of the brokenhearted, don't you know it's way too lonely up here
I'm the king of the brokenhearted, I'd give up everything for a little bit of love
just a little love, I'm the king, bow down baby, bow down...
Hail to the king!
