Mmm, when I had your love I was a king
Yeah, you were my diamond
And you were my pearl
And I bragged to the guys
About my wonderful girl

And now you’re gone and all
My riches turned to rags
Gone and I don’t have no cause to brag
But when I had your love I was a king
Oh yes I was

When I had your love I used to smile
And the smile I wore was a definite sign
That love was mine, and I was feeling fine

Now you’re gone and now my
Smile has turned around
Gone and now my smile is just a frown
When I had your love I used to smile, mmm hmm

Honey, baby dark nights keep on falling
My lonely heart keeps calling
Baby, come on back (Come right on back)
Baby, come on back (Come right on back)

Hey, when I, hey woo hoo

When I had your love I was content
My life was sweeter than peaches and cream
It was so wonderful, just like a dream

Since you’re gone
I haven’t had another sweet day
Gone and all my dreams have faded away
Oh, when I had your love I was content
Oh yeah

Baby, I need you right now, mmm hmm

Hey hey (More) and more
