Lyrics

This is where it all ends And the kinda dream that you've never seen Well, yeah Hot damn, ooh, mercy ma'am What the hell you doing to me? Ah, strutting round with your head held high What you trying to prove, girl? Black haired missy Big brown eyes On my knees, mama please I'm a regal man I'll do what I can To take you off to the promised land I'm a sun king, baby Let me take you by the hand Sun king, honey We can rule across the land I'm a sun king, baby With you, I'll share my throne A sun king, honey I can't make it on my own, no Hey, look out, little missy's about Ripping up the town, yeah Honey, I can't tie you down Woman, you make me frown Long legged lady with a black dress on On my knees, mama please I'm a regal man I'll do what I can To t-t-take you to the promised land A sun king, baby Let me take you by the hand Yeah, sun king, honey We can rule across this land I'm a sun king, baby, baby With you, I'll share my throne A sun king, honey I can't make it on my own, yeah Let me tell you people Now, listen good City crawling like a tired dog, yeah Cult children in the house of the dawn, yeah Time was wasted 'cause it's gone too fast Time was wasted 'cause it's gone too fast I see the sun begin to shine I see the sun begin to shine Sun king, baby, ow Let me take you by the hand Oh, sun king, honey We can rule across the land I'm a sun king, baby, yeah yeah With you, I'll share my throne Sun king, honey I can't make it on my own, yeah I'm a sun king, baby Sun king Sun king, baby...
