[Intro][Jazzy, Funky]
[Verse 1]
Baby girl, come sit down by me
Let me tell you ‘bout the man you’ll need
He’ll stir your pot and warm your soul
Like mama’s gumbo on the old bayou.
He’s gotta work hard when the river runs low
He’ll keep on rowing when the big winds blow
A heart as strong as a cypress root
And arms that hold you like a Mardi Gras groove.
[Chorus]
Go find a king, don’t settle for less
He’ll treat you right and love you best
He’ll stand by your side through the storm and sting
Oh baby, go on out and find yourself a king.
[Verse 2]
He don’t need gold and he don’t need crowns
He’ll wear his humble like a medal in town
He’ll put your laughter in a second line
Two-steppin’ through troubles, keepin’ things just fine.
He’ll taste your sorrow, sweeten it with grace
He’ll be the rock when you lose your place
Hands that help, a voice so true
He’ll cheer you on in all you do.
[Chorus]
Go find a king, don’t you forget
Look for the one with no regrets
A heart so pure you can hear it sing
Oh baby, go on out and find yourself a king.
[Instrumental][Saxophone]
[Bridge]
Don’t you wait ‘round for the tide to turn
A good man’s out there if you’ve got that yearn
Trust your gut, let your spirit shine
Real love’s a treasure you’re bound to find.
[Chorus - Extended]
Go find a king, let the trumpets play
Bring that jazz, bring that Cajun sway
He’ll treat you right and hold that ring
Oh baby, go on out and find yourself a king.
(Chorus Repeat][More Emotion]
Go find a king, don’t settle for less
He’ll give you joy through life’s distress
Raise your head and let your heart sing
Oh sugar, go on out—find yourself a king.
[Outro]
Now you got mama’s wisdom—carry it through
I’ll keep on prayin’ for the best for you
When you find him, let that wedding bell ring
Baby girl, I told you—go find yourself a king.
