If I were a king, like a king before
And I had a castle
That was made out of gold
[PRE-Chorus]
If I could have anything
That I wanted to
I wouldn't have anything
If I didn't have you
[Chorus]
And they call me, "King Lonely the Blue"
Yes, they call me "King Lonely the Blue"
[VERSE 2]
Now if my kingdom
Had diamonds and such
Without you, my queen, I wouldn't have much
[PRE-Chorus]
If I could have anything
That I wanted to
Oh, I wouldn't have anything
If I didn't have you
[Chorus]
And they call me, "King Lonely the Blue"
Yes, they call me "King Lonely the Blue"
[VERSE 3]
All of those riches
And they're [?]
But nеver were worth onе, one taste of your love
[PRE-Chorus]
If I could have anything
That I wanted to
Oh, I wouldn't have anything
If I didn't have you
[Chorus]
And they call me, "King Lonely the Blue"
Yes, they call me "King Lonely the Blue"
