English Lyrics

I never like to go to parties when I'm the only woman there.
When I said no to Achashveirosh, I really didn't know he'd care.
He threw me out, I could not be first lady anymore.
I don't know what became of me, I'm not the queeen no more.

(Doo de doo, doo de doo)...(x4)
I was divorced (doo de doo, doo de doo)
That's not the worst (doo de doo, doo de doo)
I was replaced (doo de doo, doo de doo)
With Esther's face (doo de doo, doo de doo)
I told the king (doo de doo, doo de doo)
This one bad thing (doo de doo, doo de doo)
I don't want to ea t my meals
With a hundred men who deal
In the matters of the royal family. (doo de doo, doo de doo)

He wanted to show them my lovely face.
I didn't feel like dressing up in satin frills and lace.
Perhaps it was a pretty silly thing for me to do,
No woman wants to be a single act--how 'bout you?

(Doo de doo, doo de doo)...(x4)
I was divorced (she was divorced)
That's not the worst (that's not the worst)
I was replaced (she was replaced)
With Esther's face (with Esther's face)
I told the king (she told the king)
This one bad thing (this one bad thing)
I don't want the king's suggestions
To give me bad indigestion
In the matters of the royal family. (doo de doo, doo de doo)

All these matters make me toil
In the matters of the royal,
In the matters of the royal (3x) family. (doo de doo, doo de doo)
