I was the fastest, the first one down the mountain Then all of the other lions, surrounded me like a fountain But, then one day they were gone like they never came at all. With a big golden coat and a heart still on fire But knowing i can't run after what i still desire See time has passed me by, like the evening sun They always warned me my time would come. Not long ago i was the king of the hill The talk of the town I was the cat they all looked up to...look at me now! I walk the streets alone, got no pride of my own I tried jumping, but i couldn't let go I never hear goodnight, wake up to kisses like I always thought i would someday when i got older But, what good's this crown on my head Without a woman i love resting on my shoulder? Just a toothless lion, yeah i'm lying on my belly One paw over the other, just looking down the valley At all the young gazelles like i used to do then I was the only one who couldn't stop playing Not long ago i was the king of the hill The talk of the town I was the cat they all looked up to...look at me now! I walk the streets alone, got no pride of my own I tried jumping, but i couldn't let go I never hear goodnight, wake up to kisses like I always thought i would someday when i got older But, what good's this crown on my head Without a woman i love resting on my shoulder? What good's this crown on my head Without a woman i love resting on my shoulder?
