  • There's no way
    I'm coming back to you
    I've just got to say
    That everything we did is through
    You tried to undermine
    The better ranges of my nature
    But soon you're going to find
    You should have started talking straighter
    Now don't you worry
    I won't put you down
    I'm in no hurry, baby
    To see you go to ground
    Because it's true what they say
    You know it's true what they say
    You're only king for a day
    I guess you're happy that way

    Well there's no hope
    For peace and reconciliation
    You're quick to play your hand
    But what you haven't learnt is patience
    So look before you leap
    To tell the world your colored story
    It's clear your talk is cheap
    You'd do anything to get your glory
    So spread your wings and fly
    There is no doubt
    You're so sorry inside you've got something to shout about
    Because it's true what they say
    You know it's true what they say
    You're only king for a day
    I guess you're happy that way

    And there's no love
    Ever to be lost between us
    I guess this is because
    The damage that you've done is so grievous
    So I hang my head
    To dwell on what might have been
    But what you left instead
    Is pieces of a broken dream

    Now don't you worry
    I won't put you down
    I'm in no hurry
    To see you go to ground
    Because it's true what they say
    You know it's true what they say
    You're only king for a day
    I guess you're happy that way

    So spread your wings and fly
    There is no doubt
    You're so sorry inside you've
    Got something to shout about

    Because it's true what they say
    You know it's true what they say
    You're only king for a day
    I guess you're happy that way

    Don't you see that you're only king for a day
    You must believe that Writer/s: JOHN WILLIAM FELDMANN
