You Deserve Lyrics

You deserve sixteen lackeys
Waitin' on your night and day
And thirty two hands wavin' fans
Just to brush the flies away

You deserve persian maidens
Just to stand and peel your grapes
And dressed in pearls, harem girls
In half a dozen sizes and shapes

If I had the riches of Sumatra
I would give you all I own
You deserve a queen like Cleopatra
To come along and share your throne
But you can bet
I will love you
Love you to the Nth degree
And what you deserve just can't compare
With the love you're gonna gеt in from me

You deservе ancient barges
Just to float you down the Nile
And when you're blue you'll have a few
Jesters just to make you smile

If I had the riches of Sumatra
I would give you all I own
You deserve a queen like Cleopatra
To come along and share your throne
But you can bet
I will love you
Love you to the Nth degree
And what you deserve just can't compare
To the love you're gonna get from me
Baby, gonna get from me
Baby, gonna get from me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
