If I was king

Even for a day

By tomorrow there'd be hell and all to pay

If I was king

And this world was mine to

It would not matter

'Cause you take me for a

Fool

If I was king

I would let you wear my

Crown

But as it stands

I only stand to let you

Down

I am to the sinner

But I could be a friend

To you

I wanna prove it to you

Before the devil do

If I was king

I would give you all I

Have got

I'd even dress you if

The devil dress you not

If I was king

I would set you up on

My thrown

It seems the devil's picked you

For his very

Own

I'm a fine one for talkin'

'Cause I'm a sinner

Too

But I'm tryin' like

The devil to get my message through

I'm be a sinner

But I could be a friend to

You

Let me prove it to you

Before the devil do

Before the devil do

Before the devil do

Before the devil do

If I was king

Even for a day

By tomorrow there'd be hell and all to pay

I am a sinner

But I could be a friend

To you

But I'm the devil

To give my message to

I am a sinner

But I could be a friend

To you

Please

I wanna prove it to you

Before the devil do

Before the devil do

Before the devil do

Before the devil do
