King of the World

[Verse 1] You walk by the magazines Sitting on the rack at the CVS One more sad movie star divorce Three hundred died in an airplane wreck And you think of all the people suffering And you bury that pain But you can tell me everything And we’ll ride on that wave [Chorus] If I was king of the world You’d be my girl You wouldn’t have to shed one single tear Unless you wanted to ‘Cause yeah I know what it’s like If I was king of the world Yeah, girl We could ride a Greyhound all the way to the Galapagos And stay for the rest of our lives [Verse 2] Dad hit you on the hand Just for holding your chopsticks wrong Then your Mom locked you in a shed And Uncle Sam dropped an atom bomb But you’re not alone You can let it go And just weep on my breast And cover me with your tenderness And that pain will pass [Chorus] If I was king of the world You’d be my girl You wouldn’t have to shed one single tear Unless you wanted to ‘Cause yeah I know what it’s like If I was king of the world Yeah, girl We could ride a Greyhound all the way to the Galapagos And stay for the rest of our lives [Bridge] We are the small fish We swim together No Prozac or Valium We’ll face tsunamis together [Chorus] If I was king of the world You’d be my girl You wouldn’t have to shed one single tear Unless you wanted to ‘Cause yeah I know what it’s like If I was king of the world Yeah, girl We could ride a greyhound all the way to the Galapagos And stay for the rest of our lives
