King Of The Whole Wide World

The Kinks · Other Songs - The Kinks

Just an ordinary fellow, anyone can see....

But I'm no ordinary fellow

When she kisses me............



When I'm with that girl of mine

Feel like a king of the world

Like to be the king of the whole wide world

Then I would give her all that I could



Don't know why I feel this way

Only know that I feel good

Like to be the king of the whole wide world

Then I could give her all that I should



Don't know why I feel this way, when she kisses me

I know why, I feel this way, when she kisses me.....



Don't know why I feel this way

Only know that I feel good

Like to be the king of the whole wide world

Then I could give her all that I should



Don't know why I feel this way, when she kisses me....

I know why, I feel this way, when she kisses me....



Don't know why I feel this way

Only know that I feel good

Like to be the king of the whole wide world

Then I could give her all that I should

Like to be the king of the whole wide world

Then I could give her all that I should

Like to be the king of the whole wide world

Then I could give her all that I should
