The day that you were born they gave a crown to you
And your whole hometown bows down to you
Everything you touch is gold
'Cause no one's ever told you, "No"

Everything you say starts with an, "I"
But I'll never hear you say, "I'm sorry"
'Cause that would be too hard for you
'Cause that's what normal people do

You're king of the world, yeah, I said it, mm
Whatever you want, yeah, you get it, mm
Guess things look different from the top of the ladder
You can break a heart like it don't matter
But you're gonna hate the truth, it hits you when you fall
You're only king of the world
'Cause your world is so damn small, mm

You think you deserve a girl made for royalty
But all that you can handle is a prom queen
To serve you with a silver platter
And make it happy ever after

You're king of the world, yeah, I said it, mm
Whatever you want, yeah, you get it, mm
Guess things look different from the top of the ladder
You can break a heart like it don't matter
But you're gonna hate the truth, it hits you when you fall
You're only king of the world
'Cause your world is so damn small, mm, mm
Mm

So ride that high horse, right on back to Texas
Where everything is just the way you left it

You're still king of the world, yeah, I said it
Whatever you want, yeah, you get it
Guess things look different from the top of the ladder
You can break a heart like it don't matter
But you're gonna hate the truth, it hits you when you fall
You're only king of the world
'Cause your world is so damn small, mm
Mm-mm, mm, you're only king of the world
'Cause your world is so damn small
