[Verse 1]
Once upon a time
I could've 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm as 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
This is the sting, well 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, well I want you

[Outro]
I want you
I want you
