Not Even the King (Live at Metropolis Studios, New York, NY - May 2013) - Alicia Keys

Money

Some people so poor; all that they've got is money

Oh and diamonds

Some people waste their life counting their thousands

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

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

Oh and 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

All the king's horses and all the king's men

Came charging to get what we got

They offered the crown and the 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

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 that we sing

We don't need anything

They can't afford this;

This is priceless

Can't afford what we've got

Not even the king

Can't afford what we've got

Not even the king
