The boys in the school yard, they called me a square
Learning a lesson, some are still unaware
Not necessary for me to be cool
If I could carry her books home from school
When I heard she took a course in ballet
I gave up baseball and I joined right away
I felt a fool in those tight leotards
Since that day I know who holds the cards
How they walk and smile
How they talk and while
They are making us think that we're kings
Guess who is really pulling the strings
Just a glance, one move
Turns a "no" into "I approve"
And so now that your head's in a whirl
And around her finger you're curled
Guess who rules the world
All the stops from core to naive
And boy a trick or two more up her sleeve
Pull Bill Clinton down to his knees
Knock some sense into Beckham with ease
No use using your reason or rhyme
You know her powers are much more than sublime
Even daddy gets left out in the cold
Till he finally does what he's told
How they walk and smile
How they talk and while
They are making us think that we're kings
We're out buying 'em fur coats and rings
Just a move, one glance
Lets you know who's really wearing the pants
And so now that your head's in whirl
And you're calling her your little girl
Guess who rules the world
How they look and smile
How they talk and while
They're making us think that we're kings
Guess who is really pulling the strings
Just a glance, one move
Turns a "no" into "I approve"
And while your head's in a whirl
And around her finger you're curled
Guess who rules the world
Guess who rules the world
