John Wesley Harding - Humble Bee Lyrics
Once upon a timeI could have had it allA princess with a price on her headOr the prince who'd climb her wall But when pride has it in for someoneNone of us can check the fallNow I'm humble as a bumblebeeI'm getting used to how things have to beJust another mumble Buzzing round and round in ringsSo afraid that I won't be kingThis is the sting, I still want everythingHere is the twist, you're on my list andHere's what I mean, you're still the queen And I want youNow I wonderIf I will ever beThe lighthouse in a sea of shadowsThat you were when you shined for me When I was going underYou knew when and where to beNow I'm as good as Ebenezer after his conversionI'd give all my goods away with no coercionI'd give almost anything Just to hear the hum of your wingsThis is the sting, I still want everythingHere is the twist, you're on my list andHere's what I mean, you're still the queenAnd I want you, honey, I want you I was as 'umble as UriahJust before his tumbleBut I fumbled for the best of meAmongst the jumbleHeaven knows where we went wrong Don Quixote or Donkey KongThis is the sting, I still want everythingHere is the twist, you're on my listHere's what I mean, you're still the queenAnd I want you, honey, I want you I want you
