IF I WERE A KING

Joe Bataan


If I were a king (if I were a king)
I'd tear me crown
And if I were a millionaire, oh baby (oh baby)
You'd own all that I own
Just tell me that you care
And you're going where I want to

If you say you love me (tell me you love me)
I'll give you that as ???? girl
Just whisper that you want me
And you'll be me girl
And, you can have pearls in your hand
Just as long as I'm your man

Darling, there is gonna be no rule in the whole wide world
That's gonna stop this guy from walking against you
There's gonna be no river deep enough baby
That I can't swim, to be beside you
(If I were a king ) (If I I were a king)

And if that's all to ????, I write a song to you
I'll climb the last mountain top
And shout up there that I love you, you

If I were a pet, girl
I ???? for you ?????
And if I were a poor boy, I'd offer you a toy
But, nothing's gonna stop me, yeah
To try to get next to you, oh
Just as long as I can, I'm your man

That's right darling
There"s gonna be no rule long enough in the whole wide world
That's gonna stop this guy from getting to you
Believe me, you found a king
And if all the riches and all the treasures in the whole wide world
Aren't enough to satisfy you, darling
But you can have my heart
And believe me, yes you better believe
With my heart you can go a long, long way
I'm telling you
All it's gonna take, all it's gonna take
Is for you to be my queen

Let this daddy here be your king
