Curtis Mayfield
Minstrel and Queen (Queen Majesty)
[Verse 1]
Queen majesty, may I speak to thee?
So much I have longed to speak to you alone
True, I agree, I'm not of your society
I'm not a king, just a minstrel
With my songs to you I moan
Though just a minstrel in life we're so far apart
But royal queen, I see love in your heart
I love you, too, your majesty

[Verse 2]
Isn't this really true
These things I ask of you?
Oh, majesty, could you really care for me?
Minstrel and Queen
A Queen with no king
I'm a minstrel support
But could this really mean anything?

[Outro]
As long as you love me
And it won't be so hard
As long as I see love-love in your heart
I love you, too, honest, I do
Minstrel and Queen
For you, I'd do any-anything
I'll be your slave
