The world spoke softly to me

A man′s a king when he's free

I heard what wise men were sayin′

And turned her love from me

Now people smile when they see a king as lonely as me

Those wise men told a lie

I sit alone and cry

'Cause everywhere I see

Sons and lovers

I've discovered

The world′s in love with

Sons and lovers

You′ll see a sign on my door

"The fool who found out the score"

I wait for fortune to find me

The love I knew before

The world looked down from above

And told me, "Don't seek for love"

They came from miles to see

When I turned out to be

The fool who fell in love

Sons and lovers

I′ve discovered

The world's in love with

Sons and lovers

But now when I tell the world

I don′t believe what I've heard

They will surely turn to me

Forgive me when they see

The fool who′s found a girl

Sons and lovers

I've discovered

The world's in love with

Sons and lovers

Sons and lovers
