Lyrics Jonathan Richman

Jonathan Richman

I Must Be King

Well i easy laugh and i easy cry

I'm soft inside and she's partly why

I used to yearn, but now i sing

And since she's my queen well that means i'm king.

And she and i are like brother and sister

I get to be her companion

And learn her secrets

Well they've put us side by side to live.

Well these days of joy i stand and laugh

I still get greatful

Just thinking of how she's my other half

And since we're like birdies

Well this must be spring

And since she's my queen well that makes me king.

And she and i are like brother and sister

I get to be her companion

And share her secrets

They've put us side by side to live.

These days of joy i shake my head

Well i stand there greatful

Just watching her staying there, laying there in bed

Since we're like music, well it must be swing

And since she's my queen, mmm mmm

Since she's my queen, since she's the one

Well, then i must be king.
