I know where all that time has gone Blown and drifted listening to an August night I see where I was wrong But how could I know that you were right When you said I would need something wild Something crazy to carry me I would see you naked and weary But with pride in your eyes that put shame in me I wait to find the things I need but I know I want that love King of Emotion Stronger than you and so much deeper than me I know that love is King of Emotion King of Emotion take a walk with me I know that love is King of Emotion King of Emotion take a walk with me You know where all that time has gone Grown up and left Washed out like an April day See all those pretty little things you knew Worn and faded they lie cast away You said you would need something wild Something special to carry you You would see me naked and weary But with pride in my eyes that put shame in you Until you find the things you need I know I want that love King of Emotion Stronger than you and so much deeper than me I know that love is King of Emotion King of Emotion take a walk with me I know that love is King of Emotion King of Emotion take a walk with me Until we find the things we need I know I want that love King of Emotion Stronger than you and so much deeper than me I know that love is King of Emotion King of Emotion take a walk with me I want that love King of Emotion Stronger than you and so much deeper than me I know that love is King of Emotion King of Emotion take a walk with me
