I believe your new girl turned you down 
And they say she's pushin' you around 
How does it feel, I guess it hurts your pride 
Tell me my friend how many nights you've cried 

Disaster and disgrace 
The king has lost his crown 
Suddenly 
He's clumsy like a clown 
The world is upside down 
The king has lost his crown 

Was it hard to step down from your throne 
And to know tonight you're all alone 
Oh what a shame, you really want that girl 
She doesn't care, still you just dream of her 

Disaster and disgrace 
The king has lost his crown 
Suddenly 
He's clumsy like a clown 
The world is upside down 
The king has lost his crown 

Disaster and disgrace 
The word is all around 
Suddenly 
He's clumsy like a clown 
The world is upside down 
The king has lost his crown
