King for A Day
½ÜÃ× ÂÞ¿ì Jamiroquai Lyrics

There's no way
I cannot and will not return to you

I'm coming back to you
The relationship is over and we will not reconcile

That everything we did is through
Our history together is finished and done

You tried to undermine
You attempted to sabotage my better qualities

The better ranges of my nature
My strengths and positive attributes

But soon you're going to find
You will discover in due time

You should have started talking straighter
You should have been honest from the start

Now don't you worry
You have no reason to be concerned

I won't put you down
I will not insult or degrade you

I'm in no hurry, baby
I am not rushing or pushing you away

To see you go to ground
To watch you crumble or suffer

Because it's true what they say
An acknowledgement of a widely accepted truth

You know it's true what they say
A reminder that the truth is clear and evident

You're only king for a day
Your power and influence are short-lived

I guess you're happy that way
I assume you are content with temporary success

Well there's no hope
There is no chance for resolution or improvement

For peace and reconciliation
A calm and harmonious reunion is impossible

You're quick to play your hand
You act hastily and without caution

But what you haven't learnt is patience
You lack the ability to wait or be persistent

So look before you leap
Think carefully before making a decision

To tell the world your colored story
To share a biased or distorted version of events

It's clear your talk is cheap
Your words are hollow and insincere

You'd do anything to get your glory
You are willing to do whatever it takes to gain recognition

So spread your wings and fly
Go ahead and pursue your ambitions

There is no doubt
It is certain and unquestionable

You're so sorry inside you've got something to shout about
You may feel guilty, but you still have a reason to celebrate

And there's no love
There is no affection or love between us

Ever to be lost between us
It is impossible for the love between us to be regained

I guess this is because
I presume this is due to

The damage that you've done is so grievous
The harm you caused is severe and painful

So I hang my head
I am in a position of shame or regret

To dwell on what might have been
To think about what could have happened differently

But what you left instead
What you left behind was

Is pieces of a broken dream
It is a shattered and unachievable aspiration

Don't you see that you're only king for a day
Do you not realize that your influence is fleeting?

You must believe that
You need to understand and accept this fact
