If I was king, even for a day. By tomorrow there’d be hell and all to pay. If I was king and this world was mine to rule. It would not matter because you take me for a fool. If I was king, I would let you wear my crown. But as it stands, I only stand to let you down.
Chorus: I am a sinner, just tryin’ to be a friend to you. I wanna prove it to you before the devil do.
If I was king, I would give you all I got. I’d even dress you, if the devil dress you not. If I was king, I would set you up on my thrown. But it seems the devil’s picked you for his very own.
Chorus: I’m a fine one for talkin’ ‘cause I’m a sinner too. I’m tryin’ like the devil to get my message through. I’m a sinner just tryin’ to be a friend to you. Let me prove it to you before the devil do. Before the devil do. Before the devil do.
