Lyrics
I hadn't noticed, the only time the truth had surfaced
So many years to make me nervous
Could it be sung or it be sold?
You spoke politely, and news had travelled of your beauty
I put my soldiers out on duty
Did you want truth or was it gold?
But Queen of Sheeba - God only knows what I had seen in her. I'll bet she pilfered all my treasure and took away my soul.
Who was the victim? What were you doing in my Kingdom? Had you come all this way for wisdom, or was it just a chance for fame?
Upon arrival the people made of you an idol. They even put you in the Bible.
I could have fallen for you, I know.
But Queen of Sheeba...
I should've seen it. It was a way to spot my weakness.
It was a plot to take my riches.
You'll raise me to the ground, I know.
But Queen of Sheeba...
