not even the king (live from vh1 storytellers) - alicia keys lyrics

Loading...

[spoken intro]
so, that’s my favorite song
what’s also my favorite song
because my little boy, he asks me to sing it to him every night
and it’s the cutest thing you’ve ever heard
he goes, “mommy, king”

[verse 1]
money
some people so poor; all that they’ve got is money
oh, and diamonds
some people waste their life counting their thousands

[chorus]
i don’t care what they’re offering
how much gold they bring
they can’t afford what we’ve got
not even the king
they can’t afford what we’ve got
not even the king

[verse 2]
oh, castles
some people so lonely; what good is a castle
surrounded by people?
but ain’t got a friend that’s not on the payroll
[chorus]
oh, i don’t care what they bring
they can have everything
they can’t afford what we’ve got
not even the king
they can’t afford what we’ve got
not even the king

[bridge]
all the king’s horses and all the king’s men
came charging to get what we got
they offered the crown and they offered the throne
i already got all that i want
all the king’s horses and all the king’s men
they came marching through
they offered the world just to have what we got
but i found the world in you
i found the world in you

[verse 3]
so darling, listen:
your arms around me worth more than a kingdom
yeah, believe that
the trust that we feel the kings never felt that
yeah, this is the song we sing
we don’t need anything
and they can’t afford this
this is priceless
[outro]
can’t afford what we’ve got
not even the king
can’t afford what we’ve got
not even the king
