  • 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 Writer/s: Alicia Augello-Cook, Emeli Sande
