[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
I can remember I was dreaming
In the moonlight, gently, I was floating
I didn't know that I was sinking

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]
I would watch you fall in love, but you love me like a kid
You needed someone close and I never really did
I'd find you on your knees and you'd beg for me to be
The woman on your throne, but I'd rather be alone
[Verse 2]

[Pre-Chorus]
Midas, my dear, no wonder why you're scared
You're a king among the thieves
And your world belongs to me
[Chorus]
I would watch you fall in love, but you love me like a kid
You needed someone close and I never really did
I'd find you on your knees and you'd beg for me to be
The woman on your throne, but I'd rather be alone
