I had sunk as low as a man could go the world had turned me down

Then you picked me up and you kissed me sweet

You changed the beggar into a king

Yes you took the rag from off of my back

And you gave me your love to keep me warm

Yes you picked me up and you kissed me sweet you changed the beggar into a king

[ steel ]

I had walked the streets with my head bowed low the sun for me would never shine

Then you came along into my life and changed the beggar into a king

Yes you took the rag from off of my back and you placed a crown on my head

Yes you picked me up and you kissed me sweet you changed the beggar into a king
