Welcome to the great republic
Guess I should show you round?
Where once I was a king
And now I am a clown, oh, baby.

The love that we once shared
Made a king of me
But now you're gone, but now you're gone
All I face is poverty.

King without a heart, king without a hope
King without a woman, baby
Oh, I'm a king without a crown.

King without a heart, king without a hope
King without a woman, baby
Oh, I'm a king without a crown.

Hell hath no fury (Hell hath no fury)
Like a woman scorned (Like a woman scorned)
But heaven don't boast, no, heaven don't boast
The jewel, the pretty jewel I just pawned (I just pawned).

Every cloud has a silver lining
(Every dog has it's day, ahahaha)
Oh, but I guess the sun stopped shining (Shining, shining)
On the day you went away.

King without a heart, king without a hope
King without a woman, baby
Oh, I'm a king without a crown.

King without a heart, king without a hope
King without a woman, baby
Oh, I'm a king without a crown.

King without a heart, king without a hope
King without a woman, baby
Yes, I'm a king (King), king without a crown.

Bathed in former glory
Deposed from my throne
How do I get to tell my story?
When all get's your answerphone.

But you ain't home.

With the love you gave
I felt like royalty
But now you're face to face, face to face
With one ex-member of the aristocracy.

King without a heart, king without a hope
King without a woman, baby
Oh, I'm a king without a crown.

King without a heart, king without a hope
King without a woman, baby
Oh, I'm a king without a crown.

King without a heart, king without a hope
King without a woman, baby
Yes, I'm a king (King), king without a crown.

There's no need to feel down
Yeah, just take a look around
You'll see a man who's just a man
Nothing more.

A king without a crown.
