This is where it all ends
And the kinda dream that you've never seen
Well, yeah
Hot damn, ooh, mercy ma'am
What the hell you doing to me?
Ah, strutting 'round with your head held high
What you trying to prove, girl?
Black haired missy, big brown eyes
On my knees, mama please
I'm a regal man, I'll do what I can
To take you off to the promised land
I'm Sun King, baby
Let me take you by the hand
Sun King, honey
We can rule across the land
I'm a Sun King, baby
With you, I'll share my throne
A Sun King, honey
I can't make it on my own, no
Hey, look out, little missy's about
Ripping up the town, yeah
Honey, I can't tie you down
Woman, you make me frown
Long-legged lady with a black dress on
On my knees, mama please
I'm a regal man, I'll do what I can
To-to-to take you to the promised land
I'm Sun King, baby
Let me take you by the hand, yeah
Sun King, honey
We can rule across this land
I'm a Sun King, baby, baby
With you, I'll share my throne
A Sun King, honey
I can't make it on my own, yeah
I still feel that you're lost, stand back
You can join me now, yeah
I'm feeling settled down, oh
Now check this out one time, oh yeah
Let me tell you, people, now listen good
City crawling like a tired dog, yeah
Cult children in the house of the dawn, yeah
Time was wasted 'cause it's gone too fast
Well, time was wasted 'cause it's gone too fast
I see the sun begin to shine, I see the sun begin to shine
Sun King, baby
Let me take you by the hand
Oh, Sun King, honey
We can rule across this land
I'm a Sun King, baby, yeah-yeah
With you, I'll share my throne
Sun King, honey
I can't make it on my own
Come on now
Whoa-whoa-whoa, yeah
Whoa-whoa-whoa, I'm a Sun King, baby
Whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, yeah
Whoa-whoa-whoa, oh
Whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, yeah-yeah
Whoa-whoa-whoa, oh
Sun King, whoa
Come on now
Sun King, baby, yeah
I'm a Sun King, baby, baby, yeah, everywhere
Sun King, baby, yeah-yeah,whoa, yeah-yeah
Sun King, baby
