King Of The World

You walk by the magazines
 Sitting on the rack at the CVS
 One more sad movie star divorce
 Three hundred died in an airplane wreck
 And you think of all the people suffering
 And you bury that pain
 But you can tell me everything
 And we'll ride on that wave
 If I was king of the world, you'd be my girl
 You wouldn't have to shed one single tear unless you wanted to
 'Cause, yeah, I know what it's like
 If I was king of the world, yeah, girl
 We could ride a Greyhound all the way to the Galápagos
 And stay for the rest of our lives
 Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh
 Woah-ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 Dad hit you on the hand
 Just for holding your chopsticks wrong
 Then your Mom locked you in a shed
 And Uncle Sam dropped an atom bomb
 But you're not alone, you can let it go
 And just weep on my breast
 And cover me with your tenderness
 And that pain will pass
 If I was king of the world, you'd be my girl
 You wouldn't have to shed one single tear unless you wanted
 'Cause, yeah, I know what it's like
 If I was king of the world, yeah, girl
 We could ride a Greyhound all the way to the Galápagos
 And stay for the rest of our lives
 Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh
 Woah-ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 We are the small fish
 We swim together, oh
 No Prozac or Valium
 We'll face tsunamis together
 If I was king of the world, you'd be my girl
 You wouldn't have to shed one single tear, unless you wanted to
 'Cause, yeah, I know what it's like
 If I was king of the world, yeah, girl
 We could ride a greyhound all the way to the Galápagos
 And stay for the rest of our lives
 Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh
 Woah-ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
