Lyrics
VERSE 1
I once knew an hombre on the verse
He liked to keep a lid on every urge
His feet were always bumming, his head was always down
In fact, he was a drag to be around
Then one day he walked into this place
He had an s.e. grin upon his face
His disposition changed, it was just like night and day
And these were the words he had to say
CHORUS
I used to be the duke of doom
I could bring sadness to any room
Then my heart was tamed by a dove
And now I am the king of love
VERSE 2
We asked him, what has happened to you, dude?
You used to be aloof and rather rude
But now you're shaking hands and buying all the drinks
I don't know what's going on here, but it stinks
He said I'd thought that love had passed me by
But now I've found a mate with which to lie
It's not a perfect world, but still it's not so bad
I somnambulate, instead of feeling sad
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 3
His words made the beast inside me smile
For my libido has been dormant for awhile
In this life of solace I've been waiting for so long
So I think of the rex amore song
REPEAT CHORUS
