[Verse 1]
In my lonely world
I sit on the throne
Of all broken hearts
I'm the king

[Bridge]
'Cause I fooled around
Lost my true love
Now, I'm known to all
As the king of fools

[Verse 2]
It's a lonely world
Without her around
Though I reign above
All the fools in town

[Chorus]
The king of fools
The king of fools
The king of fools
The king of fools
Everyone in town
Knows that I've been crowned
The king of fools
[Verse 3]
I can't wear a smile
Like I used to do
There's no happy days
Any more

[Bridge]
'Cause I fooled around
Lost my true love
Now, I'm known to all
As the king of fools

[Verse 4]
Now, my lonely arms
Long to hold her tight
And my cold, cold lips
Need her kiss tonight

[Chorus]
The king of fools
The king of fools
The king of fools
The king of fools
Everyone in town
Knows that I've been crowned
The king of fools
[Outro]
Everyone in town
Knows that I've been crowned
The king of fools
