If I had everything
I'd be but a slave to you
If they made me a king
I'd turn on my knees to you

If I ruled the night
With stars and moon so bright
Still I'd be for light to you
So to you
If my friends are a crowd
I'd turn on my knees to you

If my friends to me bow
Yet humbly I'd plead to you
If I should rule the earth
What would life be worth
If I hadn't the right to you?

If I ruled the earth, the earth, the earth, the earth
Girl, What would life be worth
If I hadn't the right to you?

If you know me like I know you
