Lyrics:

Welcome to the great republic
Guess I should show you round
Where once I was a King, and now I am a clown

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 its day)
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
