Humble Bee Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

Once upon a time 

I could have had it all 

A princess with a price on her head 

Or the prince who'd climb her wall 

But when pride has it in for someone 

None of us can check the fall 

Now I'm humble as a bumblebee 

I'm getting used to how things have to be 

Just another mumble 

Buzzing round and round in rings 

So afraid that I won't be king 

This is the sting, I still want everything 

Here is the twist, you're on my list and 

Here's what I mean, you're still the queen 

And I want you 

Now I wonder 

If I will ever be 

The lighthouse in a sea of shadows 

That you were when you shined for me 

When I was going under 

You knew when and where to be 

Now I'm as good as Ebenezer after his conversion 

I'd give all my goods away with no coercion 

I'd give almost anything 

Just to hear the hum of your wings 

This is the sting, I still want everything 

Here is the twist, you're on my list and 

Here's what I mean, you're still the queen 

And I want you, honey, I want you 

I was as 'umble as Uriah 

Just before his tumble 

But I fumbled for the best of me 

Amongst the jumble 

Heaven knows where we went wrong 

Don Quixote or Donkey Kong 

This is the sting, I still want everything 

Here is the twist, you're on my list 

Here's what I mean, you're still the queen 

And I want you, honey, I want you
