You wanted a kingdom (1970s Funk Soul)

[Verse 1] You came in swinging With your mouth full of smoke Talked big at my door Then you lost all your hope You left your boots by the sink Left a dent in the wall Now I see you outside But I don't feel you at all [Pre-Chorus] You wanted a kingdom I gave you a key You wanted my patience You got the receipt Now your name on my tongue Turns to dust in the rain You can knock all night I won't open again [Chorus] Eat wind, eat wind That's all you get from me (eat wind) Eat wind, eat wind Go chew on your own heat Eat wind, eat wind You don't get back in here (eat wind) Eat wind, eat wind I closed that door, my dear [Verse 2] You wore out the welcome Like a shoe with a split sole Took the last clean towel And the sugar bowl You laughed when I warned you Like I didn't know my house But I know every crack And I know you now [Pre-Chorus] You wanted a kingdom I gave you a key You wanted my patience You got the receipt Now your name on my tongue Turns to dust in the rain You can knock all night I won't open again [Chorus] Eat wind, eat wind That's all you get from me (eat wind) Eat wind, eat wind Go chew on your own heat Eat wind, eat wind You don't get back in here (eat wind) Eat wind, eat wind I closed that door, my dear [Bridge] Take your grin and go Take your shiny little spin I was patient once I won't play that part again If you want a fire Light it somewhere else I'm not your warm place I'm not your spare self [Final Chorus] Eat wind, eat wind That's all you get from me (eat wind) Eat wind, eat wind Go chew on your own heat Eat wind, eat wind You don't get back in here (eat wind) Eat wind, eat wind I closed that door, my dear
