Once upon a time

I could have had it all

A princess with a price on her head

Or the prince who'd climb her wall

But when pride has it in for someone

None of us can check the fall

Now I'm humble as a bumblebee

I'm getting used to how things have to be

Just another mumble

Buzzing round and round in rings

So afraid that I won't be king

This is the sting, I still want everything

Here is the twist, you're on my list and

Here's what I mean, you're still the queen

And I want you



Now I wonder

If I will ever be

The lighthouse in a sea of shadows

That you were when you shined for me

When I was going under

You knew when and where to be

Now I'm as good as Ebenezer after his conversion

I'd give all my goods away with no coercion

I'd give almost anything

Just to hear the hum of your wings

This is the sting, I still want everything

Here is the twist, you're on my list and

Here's what I mean, you're still the queen

And I want you, honey, I want you



I was as 'umble as Uriah

Just before his tumble

But I fumbled for the best of me

Amongst the jumble

Heaven knows where we went wrong



Don Quixote or Donkey Kong

This is the sting, I still want everything

Here is the twist, you're on my list

Here's what I mean, you're still the queen

And I want you, honey, I want you



I want you
