Once upon a time you were the Queen
Something everyone just knew
Picked me out and made a clown a king
And all your subjects turned from you

I guess I should have seen it
They couldn't stand me by your side
And when you said you didn't mean it
That was just another lie

Coldest Winter in the neighborhood
Christmas night I spent alone
Came the Spring, you finally understood
Let your conscience take you home

Girl, you're not a Queen anymore
Your friends put you down
For coming back to me
They won't let you hang around

Girl, you're not a Queen anymore
Your friends put you down
For coming back to me
They don't want you hangin' round
