The lyrics;

"I don't need a kingdom, I don't need a throne

Or a crown with diamonds shining bright.

Mm-mmm-mm, If you said you love me

and you were mine alone

then I'd be a king for tonight

Every single time you hold my hand

and you tell me that you understand

I'm the ruler of a wonderland

Just made for two

Oh, my little darling now

What's the good of richess, fortune and renown

If there's sleepless nights and endless days

Mm-mmm-mm, if you'd be my queen, dear

then love would be our crown

And I'd be a king for always

Mmm-mm I don't need a kingdom, ooh-ooh,

I don't need a throne

Or a crown with diamonds shining bright

Mm-mmm-mm, if you'd be my queen, dear

then love would be our crown

And I'd be a king for tonight

Oh-ooh, I'd be your king

Baby, won't you be my queen, tonight

Be my queen..."
