Who Made You King?

By Grey DeLisle (2005)
On album Iron Flowers (2006)

Iron Flowers
Something in your voice pulled me in
Something in the dark felt like sin
Maybe this is how it always begins
Someone needing someone to believe in

But who baby gave you the right
Don't tell me what to do, you're holding on too tight
Next thing you know you're a-clippin' my wings
Who baby made you king?

I knew you when you were down on your luck
Like a blind man selling pencils in a coffee cup
Strangers walking by with hearts of stone
Made me wanna cry like a saxophone

But who baby gave you the right
Don't tell me what to do, you're holding on too tight
Next thing you know you're a-clippin' my wings
Who baby made you king?

You turned on the light
and you made it shine
I could feel your love
deep inside

But who baby gave you the right
Don't tell me what to do, you're holding on too tight
Next thing you know you're a-clippin' my wings
Who baby made you king?
