humble bee
Once upon a time I could have had it all A princess with a price on her head Or the prince who'd climb her wall But when pride has it in for someone None of us can check the fall Now I'm humble as a bumblebee I'm getting used to how things have to be Just another mumble Buzzing round and round in rings So afraid that I won't be king  This is the sting, I still want everything Here is the twist, you're on my list and Here's what I mean, you're still the queen And I want you   Now I wonder If I will ever be The lighthouse in a sea of shadows That you were when you shined for me When I was going under You knew when and where to be Now I'm as good as Ebenezer after his conversion I'd give all my goods away with no coercion I'd give almost anything Just to hear the hum of your wings   This is the sting, I still want everything Here is the twist, you're on my list and Here's what I mean, you're still the queen And I want you, honey, I want you   I was as 'umble as Uriah Just before his tumble But I fumbled for the best of me Amongst the jumble Heaven knows where we went wrong Don Quixote or Donkey Kong   This is the sting, I still want everything Here is the twist, you're on my list Here's what I mean, you're still the queen And I want you, honey, I want you I want you
