GI met up with the Cking
EmHe confessed his Gbody was burning
GI met up with the Cking
His Embody had Gbegun to rot
And he Csaid Emdon't think less of Gme
I'm still the Csame man EmI used to Gbe
But Cno one belGieved him

GI once knew a pretty Cgirl
And Emshe was in Glove with the world
GAnd she loved a young Cman
EmWho loved her body but Gnever saw her mind
He Ctook Emeverything she had Gkept
And then he took Ceverything Emelse that was Gleft
CBut no one Gbelieved her
No Cone belGieved her
GI feel just like the Cking
As I Emfall on the Gmuddy ground
GI feel just like you Cgal
There's Empeople thinking
They Gknow something now
Well CI don't know Emanything at Gall
And we mean Cnothing to history
Well thank EmGodG

CDo you belGieve me?
CI bet you Gdon't
CI bet you Gwon't
