Look at the king, he's cryin'
Look at the king, he's cryin'
You took away my smiles (you took my smiles)
And left a whole lot of tears (whole lot of tears)
You took away my happiness
And left a heart full of fears
I been cryin' since the day you left, baby;
She's like "I been cryin' for years."
Now everywhere I go they know
I'm the king of tears
The king of tears
You're all I have to smile for;
now my face wears a frown.
Since you walked out on me, baby,
my kingdom tumbled down.
But what good is a kingdom
with no queen to share the throne?
Oooo, now everywhere I go they know
I'm the king of tears
The king of tears
What can I do
to get through to you?
Any fool can see
I need you here with me!
I hear the people whisper
as I pass by their doors:
"Don't he look so pitiful,
he loves his woman so."
Got my neighbours all crying
Anything I done to still stand (?)
Now everywhere I go they know
I'm the king of tears
The king of tears
Look at the king, he's cryin'
(Can't hear me cryin')
Look at the king, he's cryin'
(I'm cryin' all the time)
