Lyrics Alicia Keys

Alicia Keys

Not Even the King

Money,

Some people so poor all that they 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 got

Not even the king

They can't afford what we got

Not even the king

Ohh 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

Ohh and I don't care what they bring

They can have everything

They can't afford what we got

Not even the king

They can't afford what we got

Not even the king

All the king's horses and all the king's men

Came charging to get what we got

They offer the crown and they offer the throne

I already got all that I want

All the king's horses and all the king's men

They came marching through

They offer 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

Yea, believe that

The trust that we feel the kings never felt that

Yea this is the song we sing

We don't need anything

They can't afford this

This is priceless

Can't afford what we got

Not even the King

Can't afford what we got

Not even the king
