Not Even the King

Money Some people so poor, all that they've got is money Oh, and diamonds Some people waste their life counting their thousands I don't care what they're offering How much gold they bring They can't afford what we've had Not even the king They can't afford what we've got Not even the king Oh, castles Some people so lonely, what good is a castle Surrounded by people? But ain't got a friend that's not on the payroll Oh, and I don't care what they bring They can have everything They can't afford what we've got Not even the king They can't afford what we've got Not even the king All the king's horses and all the king's men Came charging to get what we got They offered the crown and the offered the throne I already got what I want All the king's horses and all the king's men They came marching through They offered the world just to have what we got But I found the world in you I found the world in you So darling, listen Your arms around me worth more than a kingdom Yeah, believe that The trust that we feel the kings never felt that Yeah, this is the song that we sing We don't need anything They can't afford this This is priceless Can't afford what we've got Not even the king Can't afford what we've got Not even the king --- Not Even the King - Alicia Keys
