I saw the stars in your eyes

And I knew it was puppy school love

xxx

You saw the twinkle in mine

Then we both knew it was time to hold our breath

xxxAnd run and get committed



We got lost in a sea of love and lust

With a galaxy of trust

xxxWe were soon committed

To each other like a mussel in a clam

To the movies to the mall glued together hand in hand



And we walked and ran through love land

Everything was fine

Until my baby took me for my very last dime



Bang, bang, shoot me dead

Thought my baby loved me

But I'd been mislead



My, my she sucked me dry

Now the little Ms. wants to say bye bye



Once I was a King

Now I'm wrapped around her finger

Like a diamond ring



The engagement ring

The wedding ring

The church bells ring

And the suffering



Understand I'm a man

Who believes in the glory of love

xxxYou're a fool and a sucka

True love is the light shining bright

From the Heavens, The Heavens above

xxxYou cold motherfucker



I believe, I believe it is better to trust

Even when I'm wrong

xxxBe careful you're my brother

Than to let my fear drive me

From the home where I have belonged

xxx



She was my Queen to protect and serve

Then she threw me a curve

Skam skimmin' gold diggin'

Kick me to the curb



Bang, bang, shoot me dead

Thought my baby loved me

But I'd been mislead



My, my she sucked me dry

Now the little Ms. wants to say bye bye



Once I was a King

Now I'm wrapped around her finger

Like a diamond ring



The engagement ring

The wedding ring

The church bells ring

And the suffering



I know what they say on the street

She's a cheat and a thief and a liar

xxxAnd everybody knows it

But she's my light and my love and my hope

And my only desire

xxxYou're anger can't control it



She broke the bank, then she took my car

That chick stole my heart



Should have known from the start



Bang, bang, shoot me dead

Thought my baby loved me

But I'd been mislead



My, my she sucked me dry

Now the little Ms. wants to say bye bye



Once I was a King

Now I'm wrapped around her finger

Like a diamond ring



The engagement ring

The wedding ring

The church bells ring

And the suffering
