The Man Who Would Be King Songtext
I have a little secret for ya

I've been told if you want to make it in this game

You got to have the luck

You got to have the look


To make what I quite like to make it through the night

My heart beats slow fast, I don't feel right

With a sleight of hand I might die

What about you over there?

Don't you think I care?

Well I know you know I know you know I know

And to the man who would be king

I would say only one thing

And to the man who would be king

I would say only one thing
La la la-la-la-laa

La la la-la-la-laa



I lived my dream today

And I have lived it yesterday



And I'll have lived it tomorrow

No don't look at me that way

Well I heed the words you say...

But my heart has gone astray

I watched friendship slip away

But it wasn't s'posed to be that way

I lived my dreams today

I lived it yesterday

And I'll be living yours tomorrow

Anything else to say?



I lived my dream today

I lived it yesterday

And I'll be living yours tomorrow

So don't look at me that way!



What's about you man, Nancy my dear

What's about you man, Nancy my dear

What's about you man, Nancy my dear

What will you do when she comes here?

Oh she'll kill me

Oh, I don't wanna kill me



And to the man who would be king

I would say only one thing

And to the man who would be king

I would say only one thing



La la la-la-la-laa

La la la-la-la-laa

Perish the day when you heed what you say

They'll take you away if they don't like what you say

They don't like what you say



So come what may but I'll never say



I'll never stay
