I've given up a palace
A town and ev'rything
But long as you're mine
I'll gladly bear the blame
For you're more to me
Than a palace is to a king

And though they talk about you
And call you 'out your name
Long as your mine
My heart will sure sing
You're more to me
Than a palace is to a king

There's something magic about you
That really on my brain
It's got the whole world a-guessing
But it's something I can't explain

But life for me without you
Wouldn't be the same
I'd be like a snowball melting in a flame
For you're more to me
Than a palace is to a king

(Instrumental)

'Yaa-as, I hear ya
Uh-huh, that's it, uh-huh'

'Uh-huh, that's it boys
C'mon, now'

There's something magic about you
That really stone my brain
It's got the whole world a-guessing
But it's something I can't explain

Oh, life for me without you
Wouldn't be the same
I feel like a snowball melting in a flame
For you're more to me
Than a palace is to a king.
