Without a Woman I Love

I was the fastest, the first one down the mountain

Then all of the other lions, surrounded me like a fountain

But, then one day they were gone like they never came at all.

With a big golden coat and a heart still on fire

But knowing i can't run after what i still desire

See time has passed me by, like the evening sun

They always warned me my time would come.

Not long ago i was the king of the hill

The talk of the town

I was the cat they all looked up to...look at me now!

I walk the streets alone, got no pride of my own

I tried jumping, but i couldn't let go

I never hear goodnight, wake up to kisses like

I always thought i would someday when i got older

But, what good's this crown on my head

Without a woman i love resting on my shoulder?

Just a toothless lion, yeah i'm lying on my belly

One paw over the other, just looking down the valley

At all the young gazelles like i used to do then

I was the only one who couldn't stop playing

Not long ago i was the king of the hill

The talk of the town

I was the cat they all looked up to...look at me now!

I walk the streets alone, got no pride of my own

I tried jumping, but i couldn't let go

I never hear goodnight, wake up to kisses like

I always thought i would someday when i got older

But, what good's this crown on my head

Without a woman i love resting on my shoulder?

What good's this crown on my head

Without a woman i love resting on my shoulder?
