If I Had the Right - Alton Ellis, The Flames

If I had everything

I’d be but a slave to you

If they made me a king

I’d turn on my knees to you

If I ruled the night

With stars and moon so bright

Still I’d be for light to you

So to you

If my friends are a crowd

I’d turn on my knees to you

If my friends to me bow

Yet humbly I’d plead to you

If I should rule the earth

What would life be worth

If I hadn’t the right to you?

If I ruled the earth, the earth, the earth, the earth

Girl, What would life be worth

If I hadn’t the right to you?

If you know me like I know you
