  • You walk by the magazines

  • Sitting on the rack at the CVS

  • One more sad movie star divorce

  • Three hundred died in an airplane wreck

  • And you think of all the people suffering

  • And you bury that pain

  • But you can tell me everything

  • And well ride on that wave

  • If I was king of the world

  • You’d be my girl

  • You wouldn’t have to shed one single tear

  • Unless you wanted to

  • Cause yeah I know what it’s like

  • If I was king of the world

  • Yeah, girl

  • We could ride a Greyhound all the way to the Galapagos

  • And stay for the rest of our lives

  • Dad hit you on the hand

  • Just for holding your chopsticks wrong

  • Then your Mom locked you in a shed

  • And Uncle Sam dropped an atom bomb

  • But youre not alone

  • You can let it go

  • And just weep on my breast

  • And cover me with your tenderness

  • And that pain will pass

  • If I was king of the world

  • You’d be my girl

  • You wouldn’t have to shed one single tear

  • Unless you wanted to

  • Cause yeah I know what it’s like

  • We could ride a Greyhound all the way to the Galapagos

  • And stay for the rest of our lives

  • No Prozac or Valium

  • Well face tsunamis together

  • If I was king of the world

  • You’d be my girl

  • You wouldn’t have to shed one single tear

  • Unless you wanted to

  • Cause yeah I know what it’s like

  • If I was king of the world
