Seals & Crofts - King Of Nothing lyrics

(lyrics and music by James Seals, 1970) From the albums UNBORN CHILD (1974), GREATEST HITS (1975) and THE SEALS & CROFTS COLLECTION (1979). When I was 17, I dreamed of being king. And having everything I wanted. But that was long ago and my dreams did not unfold, so I'm still the King of Nothing. When I was 17, I dreamed I gave a ring to a pretty queen and then I held her. But that was slumber's fault for I have no love at all. And I'm still the King of Nothing. If I could rule, I'd dance my cares away, find romance everyday. I wouldn't have to listen to this poor fool say, "I'm the King, I'm the King, I'm the King of Nothing."
