Testo Honest Queen - Peter Allen

Honest Queen

She was never a Madonna
No one ever called her a saint
But you can’t go through life blaming and shaming
People for what they ain’t
Cause what she was was an honest queen
Not exactly all my young man’s dream
But when I think of what she could have been
Ah she was an honest queen
All the sins of her family
Felt like stones upon her head
And she told me when she met me
Forget me, don’t you love me
Cause I’ve long been dead
But what she was was an honest queen
Never straight but never in between
And when I think of what she could have been
Ah she was an honest queen
You know you have to start to worry
When every other word becomes I’m sorry
She was never a mother
Never even my wife
But I knew her backwards and forwards
Oh, how I wish I could have given you life
Baby, what she was was an honest queen
Not exactly all my young man’s dream
But when I think of what she could have been
Ah she was an honest queen
