Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll treat you like the one and only
I could be your queen
And give everything you need
You like a king
I'll treat you like the one and only
I could be your queen
Come let your guard down
Love takes the gloves off your heart
We could start now
Not gonna tear you apart
Understand me
Dont speak in time, speak in truth
Just wanna love you
Just wanna know you
Oh, stabilize
Got my eyes fixed on you
Won't you stay tonight?
And I'll tell you what I'll do
I won't be paralyzed
Don't you know my aim is true?
When you're in my sights
In my sights
I'll treat you like a king
I'll treat you like the one and only
I could be your queen
And give you everything you need
You like a king
I'll treat you like the one and only
I could be your queen
If you let me, if you let me
I'll treat you like a king
I'll treat you like a king
Like a king
I'll treat you like a king
I'm just a vessel
I'm just a cage made of bones
You passed the test, oh
So I'm gonna show you the ropes
You understand me
No wasting time, wasting truth
Just wanna love you
Just wanna know you
Oh, stabilize
Got my eyes fixed on you
Won't you stay tonight?
And I'll tell you what I'll do
I wont be paralyzed
Don't you know my aim is true?

I'll treat you like the one and only
I could be your queen
And give you everything you need
You like a king
I'll treat you like the one and only
I could be your queen
If you let me, if you let me
Like a king
I'll treat you like a king
I'll treat you like a king
Like a king
If you like me

The music video for London-based musician Grades’ “King” was created by the award-winning Japanese director Taichi Kimura. The video features a young Japanese student with giant pigtails and a highly active imagination. While she is head down, buried with school work, her mind begins to wander from her studies at hand, into a world of make-believe where her school becomes a cartoon battlefield and she plays the role of an adorable heroine.
