[Verse 1]
Honey, I'm afraid and I know you are too
'Cause we both been thorugh what we've both been through
There's no reason not to cross that line
We all need somebody from time to time

[Chorus]
'Cause even if your heart can't look my way
Even if our love can't stay together
I'd rather be king for a day than a fool forever
King for a day than a fool forever

[Post-Chorus]
Yes I would
Yes I would

[Verse 2]
Take that chance
If we make that leap
Love don't come easy and it don't come cheap
And I spent all my money down to my last dime
For just one minute, honey, of your sweet time

[Chorus]
'Cause even if your heart can't look my way
And even if our love can't stay together
I'd rather be king for a day than a fool forver
King for a day than a fool forever

[Verse 3]
You can take my pride for what it's worth
We deserve to feel good even if it hurts

[Chorus]
'Cause even if your heart can't look my way
Even if our love can't stay together
I'd rather be king for a day than a fool forever
Rather be king for a day than a fool forever

[Outro]
I'd rather be king for a day
Rather be king for a day
Than a fool, oh, forever
Rather be king for a day
I'd rather be king
Rather be king for a day than a fool forever
