This much is true...
a king ain't just a king.
He ain't nothin' but a title;
just a powerless man.
He's Samson with his hair
chopped off; a man who looks silly
with a crown atop his head.
He's a man who looks
as lonely as a lighthouse
on his throne.
A king ain't worth a damn
without a queen
to share his castle
....that much is true!
