If I was king, even for a day.
By tomorrow there’d be hell and all to pay.
If I was king and this world was mine to rule.
It would not matter because you take me for a fool.
If I was king, I would let you wear my crown.
But as it stands, I only stand to let you down.
Chorus:
I am a sinner, just tryin’ to be a friend to you.
I wanna prove it to you before the devil do.
If I was king, I would give you all I got.
I’d even dress you, if the devil dress you not.
If I was king, I would set you up on my thrown.
But it seems the devil’s picked you for his very own.
Chorus:
I’m a fine one for talkin’ ‘cause I’m a sinner too.
I’m tryin’ like the devil to get my message through.
I’m a sinner just tryin’ to be a friend to you.
Let me prove it to you before the devil do.
Before the devil do.
Before the devil do.
If I was king, even for a day.
By tomorrow there’d be hell and all to pay.
If I was king and this world was mine to rule.
It would not matter because you take me for a fool.
If I was king, I would let you wear my crown.
But as it stands, I only stand to let you down.
If I was king, even for a day.
By tomorrow there’d be hell and all to pay.
Chorus:
I’m a fine one for talkin’ ‘cause I’m a sinner too.
I’m tryin’ like the devil to get my message through.
I’m a sinner just tryin’ to be a friend to you.
Let me prove it to you before the devil do.
Before the devil do.
Before the devil do.
