Alicia Keys — Not Even the King Live from VH1 Storytellers

[Spoken Intro] So, that's my favorite song What's also my favorite song Because my little boy, he asks me to sing it to him every night And it's the cutest thing you've ever heard He goes, "Mommy, King" [Verse 1] Money Some people so poor; all that they've got is money Oh, and diamonds Some people waste their life counting their thousands [Chorus] I don't care what they're offering How much gold they bring They can't afford what we've got Not even the king They can't afford what we've got Not even the king [Verse 2] Oh, castles Some people so lonely; what good is a castle Surrounded by people? But ain't got a friend that's not on the payroll [Chorus] Oh, I don't care what they bring They can have everything They can't afford what we've got Not even the king They can't afford what we've got Not even the king [Bridge] All the king's horses and all the king's men Came charging to get what we got They offered the crown and they offered the throne I already got all that I want All the king's horses and all the king's men They came marching through They offered the world just to have what we got But I found the world in you I found the world in you [Verse 3] So darling, listen: Your arms around me worth more than a kingdom Yeah, believe that The trust that we feel the kings never felt that Yeah, this is the song we sing We don't need anything And they can't afford this This is priceless [Outro] Can't afford what we've got Not even the king Can't afford what we've got Not even the king
