King for a Day Songtext
von Thompson Twins

I know you well
And I can tell
Something′s on your mind
'Cause in your dreams
The demon screams
I know he′s going to hurt you blind

You say you hunger
For something, you can't get at all
And love is not enough anymore

If I was King for just one day
I would give it all away
I would give it all away to be with you, oh-ooh-oh
If I was King for just one day
I have just one thing to say
You know that love is all we need to get us through


And diamond rings, and all those things
They never sparkle like your smile
And as for fame (fame, fame)
It's just a name (just a name)
That only satisfies you for a while

You say you hunger
For something, you can′t get at all
And love is not enough anymore

If I was King for just one day
I would give it all away (give it all away)
I would give it all away to be with you, oh-ooh-oh
If I was King for just one day
I have just one thing to say (say)
You know that love is all
We need to get us through

I′ve heard it said or maybe read
Only money makes the world go round
But all the gold won't heal your soul (won′t heal your soul)
If your world should tumble to the ground

You say you hunger
For something, you can't get at all
And love is not enough anymore


So listen
Love is all, love is all
Love is all we need (love is all we need)

Love is all, love is all
Love is all we need (your love, sweet)
Love is all, love is all
Love is all we need (love is all we need)
Love is all, love is all
Love is all we need

If I was King (if I was King) for just one day (for just one day)
I would give it all away (give it all away)
I would (away) give it all away (away) to be with you
If I was King (if I was King) for just one day (for just one day)
I have just one thing to say (say)
You know that love is
All we need to get us through (get us through)

If I was King (if I was King) for just one day (for just one day)
I would give it all away (give it all away)
I would (away) give it all away (away) to be with you, oh-ooh-oh

If I was King (if I was King) for just one day (for just one day)
Just one thing to say (say, say, say)
Love you (you)
