I yawn I hear applause

I snore stadiums roar

I sleep, hundreds of kids cover their mouths

And tiptoe through the streets

If I cough (sometimes I do)

Forest fires fall into trance

In my dreams I might dance

People line up to take a chance

I sleep late moonshine and sunshine negotiate

I wash my face, roses line up and bow

While I change some nice angels make my bed

I make mistakes, sure, but mountains move

To keep things straight


[Chorus]

I can't help it. I'm the king

Don't be scared kings don't mean a thing

I can't help it. I'm the king

Don't be scared kings don't mean a thing

If my thoughts drift to you

Waves on the beach refuse to break

I may be just I may be fair

But I'd give anything just to curl your hair


[Chorus]

I can't help it. I'm the king

Don't be scared kings don't mean a thing

I can't help it. I'm the king

It's just like chess a king can't beat a queen

I can't help it

Ow - I can't, I can't, I can't help

Owuh, aha - a king can't beat a queen


[Chorus]

I can't help it. I'm the king

Don't be scared kings don't mean a thing

I can't help it. I'm the king

It's just like chess a king can't beat a queen

What good does my kingdom do

If everything depends on you?

I can't help it. I can't help it

I can't help it. Can you?

I can't help it I'm the king

Go ahead take a swing

I can't help it. I'm the king

E todo rei merece o beijo da realidade
