Mr. Lion - Tank and the Bangas

I’ve been waiting on you

You comin'?

Hey there, Mr. Lion

Why you roar so big?

Why so loud?

Hey there, Mr. Lion

Don’t you cry sometimes?

Why so proud?

When you are alone do you know how to be?

And loneliness lays at your throne, I know

A king spends most days all alone by the sea

Drifting and roaming the shores

So hey there, Mr. Lion

Why you seem so sad?

Why run out?

Kill anything that laughs at you

But when love came to, you run south

You say that love has nowhere to go

Takes its time, you know, surely you go slow

But I believe the biggest mistake is the risk that you take

Thinking she’ll always stay

What if you’re too late?

When you are alone do you know how to be?

And loneliness lays at your throne, I know

A king spends most days all alone by the sea

Drifting and roaming the shores

I know you’re afraid to be

Someone easy and unsure but

The things that I have to show you

Goes beyond the pride of your own, so

Listen to what love shows you

From this view, I can see you’re scared too

It takes courage to fall, feels so new

There’s no wins and doubt, no shortcut route to love

Love, love, love

Wishing on the biggest of stars

For you to return to who you are

Cast the net and capture the sky in a jar

Put your claws away, care for your heart

I see the moon shine but

I see a star I like, a Mr. Lion, Mr. Lion

I see the bright eye but

Catch a fallen star I like, a Mr. Lion, Mr. Lion

I see the moon shine but

I see a star I like, a Mr. Lion, Mr. Lion

I see the bright eye but

Catch a fallen star I like, a Mr. Lion, Mr. Lion

I see the moon shine but

I see a star I like, a Mr. Lion, Mr. Lion

I see the bright eye but

Catch a fallen star I like, a Mr. Lion, Mr. Lion
