King Of The World
The day that you were born, they gave a crown to you
And your whole hometown bows down to you
Everything you touch is gold
'Cause no one's ever told you, "No"
Everything you say starts with an "I"
But I'll never hear you say, "I'm sorry"
'Cause that would be too hard for you
'Cause that's what normal people do
"You're king of the world", yeah, I said it, hmm
Whatever you want, yeah, you get it, hmm
Guess things look different from the top of the ladder
You can break a heart like it don't matter
But you're gonna hate the truth, it hits you when you fall
You're only king of the world
'Cause your world is so damn small, hmm
You think you deserve a girl made for royalty
But all that you can handle is a prom queen
To serve you with a silver platter
And make it happy ever after
"You're king of the world", yeah, I said it, hmm
Whatever you want, yeah, you get it, hmm
Guess things look different from the top of the ladder
You can break a heart like it don't matter
But you're gonna hate the truth, it hits you when you fall
You're only king of the world
'Cause your world is so damn small, hmm
Hmm
(Hmm-mm), hmm
So ride that high horse, right on back to Texas
Where everything is just the way you left it
"You're still king of the world", yeah, I said it
Whatever you want, yeah, you get it
Guess things look different from the top of the ladder
You can break a heart like it don't matter
But you're gonna hate the truth, it hits you when you fall
You're only king of the world
'Cause your world is so damn small, hmm
Hmm-mm, hmm, you're only king of the world
'Cause your world is so damn small
And your whole hometown bows down to you
Everything you touch is gold
'Cause no one's ever told you, "No"
Everything you say starts with an "I"
But I'll never hear you say, "I'm sorry"
'Cause that would be too hard for you
'Cause that's what normal people do
"You're king of the world", yeah, I said it, hmm
Whatever you want, yeah, you get it, hmm
Guess things look different from the top of the ladder
You can break a heart like it don't matter
But you're gonna hate the truth, it hits you when you fall
You're only king of the world
'Cause your world is so damn small, hmm
You think you deserve a girl made for royalty
But all that you can handle is a prom queen
To serve you with a silver platter
And make it happy ever after
"You're king of the world", yeah, I said it, hmm
Whatever you want, yeah, you get it, hmm
Guess things look different from the top of the ladder
You can break a heart like it don't matter
But you're gonna hate the truth, it hits you when you fall
You're only king of the world
'Cause your world is so damn small, hmm
Hmm
(Hmm-mm), hmm
So ride that high horse, right on back to Texas
Where everything is just the way you left it
"You're still king of the world", yeah, I said it

You can break a heart like it don't matter
But you're gonna hate the truth, it hits you when you fall
You're only king of the world
'Cause your world is so damn small, hmm
Hmm-mm, hmm, you're only king of the world
'Cause your world is so damn small
