The Mad King Songtext
von Mental as Anything

Someday, baby
You will be mine
Someday, darling
All in good time
Feverish ravings
Spend them on you
Take my savings
Spend them all, too

Baby, oh baby
What can I do?
I know I love you
You love me too
It′s complicated in my mind
I'm separating cruel from kind


Forgive me, baby
It′s a seasonal change
You must be lucky
'Cause you're well out of range
Forgive me, baby
I would mess you around
Stay up, it′s better than down

Someday, baby
I will find you
Sometime, darling
When I am through
With stern faces, white shirts
Holding me down
Can′t see the blue skies
Through all their frowns

It's complicated in my mind
I′m separating cruel from kind
I want to hold you
Every night
Darling, oh darling
I need your help


Forgive me, baby
It's a seasonal change
You must be lucky
′Cause you're well out of range
Forgive me, baby
I would mess you around
Stay up, it′s better than down
Stay up, it's better than down

When the national anthem plays
Then I will sit while you should stand
Coronate me now before the whole world disappears

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Someday, baby
I will be king
Someday, darling
People will sing
The royal couple
Sitting in bed
Please, please release my head
And crown it instead

Forgive me, baby
It's a seasonal change
You must be lucky
′Cause you′re well out of range
Forgive me, baby
I would mess you around
Stay up, it's better than down
Stay up, it′s better than down
Better than down
Better than down
Better than down

I am not the mad king
I am not the mad king
I am not the mad king
I am not the mad king
