There's no way I'm coming back to you I've just got to say That everything we did is through You tried to undermine The better ranges of my nature But soon you're going to find You should have started talking straighter Now don't you worry I won't put you down I'm in no hurry, baby To see you go to ground Because it's true what they say You know it's true what they say You're only king for a day I guess you're happy that way Well there's no hope For peace and reconciliation You're quick to play your hand But what you haven't learnt is patience So look before you leap To tell the world your colored story It's clear your talk is cheap You'd do anything to get your glory So spread your wings and fly There is no doubt You're so sorry inside you've got something to shout about Because it's true what they say You know it's true what they say You're only king for a day I guess you're happy that way And there's no love Ever to be lost between us I guess this is because The damage that you've done is so grievous So I hang my head To dwell on what might have been But what you left instead Is pieces of a broken dream Now don't you worry I won't put you down I'm in no hurry To see you go to ground Because it's true what they say You know it's true what they say You're only king for a day I guess you're happy that way So spread your wings and fly There is no doubt You're so sorry inside you've Got something to shout about Because it's true what they say You know it's true what they say You're only king for a day I guess you're happy that way Don't you see that you're only king for a day You must believe that
