Lyrics

(Lyrics and music by james seals, 1970)
From the albums unborn child (1974), greatest hits (1975) and
The seals & crofts collection (1979)

When I was 17, I dreamed of being king. and having everything I wanted
But that was long ago and my dreams did not unfold, so I'm still the king of nothing
When I was 17, I dreamed I gave a ring to a pretty queen and then I held her
But that was slumber's fault for I have no love at all. and I'm still the king of nothing

If I could rule, I'd dance my cares away, find romance everyday
I wouldn't have to listen to this poor fool say
"I'm the king, I'm the king, I'm the king of nothing."
