Make me a king today, tomorrow I'll throw it away
'Cus what use is a crown if she is not around
A bed of linen sheets is not where you'll find me asleep
A bed of nails will do, if I can sleep next to you

You could give me everything, the world at my feet
Still I'd throw it all away to be next to her

Don't wake me up in the morning if it's not her that I'm holding
If she's not there then I don't care and I don't want to know
Can you hear me, I'm calling out your name as I'm falling
I could have it all but I'd throw it all away just to be next to her

If it's money or if it's fame, then I'll pass it all the same
No glory that I'd claim, as long as she knows my name
Build me an effigy and I'll knock it into the sea
No deity for me, worship only she

You could give me everything, the world at my feet
Still I'd throw it all away to be next to her

Don't wake me up in the morning if it's not her that I'm holding
If she's not there then I don't care and I don't want to know
Can you hear me, I'm calling out your name as I'm falling
I could have it all but I'd throw it all away just to be next to her

To be next to her
To be next to her
To be next to her
To be next to her
