Everyone around you always tells you how lovely you are
And every morning you look into the mirror and agree how right they are
Your so-called friends all walk behind you as they try so hard not to remind you
Of the fortune and fame that came as a gift with your name
I think I can remember when you used to have the time to spend with friends
But it's clear now to see the way you used them as means to gather ends
Oh, you split your family in half when you became their fatty calf
Pardon me, your majesty, but could I have a moment just to laugh?
Oh, you're the only one that's ever given
And you're the one that makes my life worth living
Well, I hate to take your head off with my sickle
But you're a ten-cent dime store ring that I bought for a nickel
Most people seem to think that your way of being humble isn't virtue
But if you didn't have at least one stone to throw at someone, it would hurt you
Oh, you never learned how to live out on your own
Or how to make two dollars out of one without a loan
And now the ears of everybody have gone deaf to your constant crying and moan
That you're the only one that's ever given
And you're the one that makes my life worth living
Well, I hate to take your head off with my sickle
But you're a ten-cent dime store ring that I bought for a nickel
Well, now it's time to say goodnight
And it's time to make my flight from your side
After everything is done
I'll just say thank you for the fun and the free ride
Well, I guess you can't use me anymore
Cause I know you've got greater things in store
And someday when the world you own consists of padded walls and barred up doors
We'll all be waving when you cry that you're the only one that's ever given
And you're the one that makes my life worth living
Oh, I hate to take your head off with my sickle
But you're a ten-cent dime store ring that I bought for a nickel
You're the only one that's ever given
Yes, now you're the one that makes my life worth living
Well, I hate to take your head off with my sickle
