Lyrics
I'm crying everyone's tears
And there inside our private war
I died the night before
And all of these remnants of joy and disaster
What am I suppose to do
I want to cook you a soup that warms your soul
But nothing would change, nothing would change at all
It's just a day that brings it all about
Just another day and nothing's any good
The DJ's playing the same song
I have so much to do
I have to carry on
I wonder if this grief will ever let me go
I feel like I am the king of sorrow, yeah
The king of sorrow
I suppose I could just walk away
Will I disappoint my future if I stay
It's just a day that brings it all about
Just another day and nothing's any good
The DJ's playing the same song
I have so much to do
I have to carry on
I wonder will this grief ever be gone
Will it ever go
I'm the king of sorrow, yeah
The king of sorrow
I'm crying everyone's tears
I have already paid for all my future sins
There's nothing anyone
Can say to take this away
It's just another day and nothing's any good
I'm the king of sorrow, yeah
King of sorrow
I'm the king of sorrow, yeah
King of sorrow

I always think about my mom when I see this video. My dad cheated on her and left her when I was 2, and I have a brother and sister that are 5-6 years older then me. The amount of energy she put in us for 10 years is CRAZY! She was always so sweet and loving, she had 2 jobs, we always had clean clothes, good freshly cooked food, presents when it was our bday, we even went even on vacation once! And the crazy part is she is so humble, she thinks she's not good at anything.. I sometimes tell her that if she put the time and energy that she put into us into something else she would be the top 1% in whatever field. But i'm happy that she put that effort into being the best mom

Your a great son for those words and she sounds alot like my ex after 25 years she moved on. Wow your father should be ashamed of himself. Sadly so many children see only sorrow when there is a bitter divorce. and if your a adult now and have had a relationship or two. You understand that there complex ..and there are two sides to every story . It's my belief that there's nobody on the planet that would leave a woman that you just described for nothing at all. let that sink in for a minute.

Dear Sade, How this song and video of yours pierced through my heart. I went through the same phase in life as a single mother. I performed nightly on stage w my band to make a living and feed my 2 baby girls. One was 3 & the other one was only 6 months then. I had to bring them to my gigs coz I had no one to babysit them for me. Those times were so hard, but as a mother, you have to forget how tired you are, who you are. As a mother, you have to forget the man you loved that broke your heart & left you alone to battle life's war. And just have to keep going so the children never go hungry. I love this song of yours so much, still brings tears to my eyes. Still a strong reminder of the painful past that I survived. 💜

It got me through the most difficult time in my life, loosing my mom at age 14, being a black girl dealing with depression in early 2000s where depression was a "white" illness, even I didn't understand what I was going through but I felt that I was the king of sorrow as I had never experienced such pain and didn't believe anyone has ever went through it. I sure did pay for all my future sins in those times as now at 29 Im blessed with good health, a job, I got myself a house, which I'm very proud of as even my mom and dad never owned a house, so this is a break of a pattern and I am very happy with how I've turned out and even if I got a chance to go back and change something, I wouldn't.

I can sit here and proudly say my mother is the strongest person I know. Single mother who had to take a lot of abuse from my dad before he passed and she raised me and my 2 brothers very well. Always giving 110% to provide and put all of us through school and instilled good morals too. We wouldn't be the men we are today without her. I feel you on that one.

[@loveme7693]

+supastar And you saying that your mom appreciate it alot. The pain a woman has to take (infidelity, abuse, disrespect) just to keep her family and child afloat is one powerful thing. Because she doesn't have to take that, but women of the previous generation did for their children. And, that is beautiful. I dedicate your paragraph that you dedicated to your mom to mines because she too went through the same thing just to raise us.

[@yesterdayitrained]

I have always thought Sade is the most beautiful woman in the world. There is something about her- something that no other woman has. Her her vocals, her lyrics, her gracefulness- they pull you in (very pleasantly). She is the one singer who just takes you to another place, without you even realizing it. Her music surrounds you, and you find yourself somewhere else. I have seen her live twice- she looks just as beautiful, if not more, as she does in her videos. And she was incredibly gracious- as if it was her privilege to sing for us, not our privilege to be fortunate enough to hear her sing. Very classy.

[@johnnybgood942]

Hi Melanie Sometimes I also think she is the prettiest woman ever. Her facial features look perfect! Her figure and the way she moves :) is soooo elegant and Lady like. At times she makes me weep ;( Very Classy, yes.

[@yesterdayitrained]

+johnnyBgood Thanks- her voice brings me to tears sometimes too... I am still so amazed by her- from the first time I heard her voice.

[@Chezmama1]

I join you in the opinion that she is the most beautiful woman ever!

[@Marcus_Thomas_]

M&M I couldn't have said it better. It's something about her gaze as she looks into the camera. She has such a passionate and hypnotizing voice also. I played this song dozens of times just to look into those eyes and watch her dance on stage in that black dress at the end.

dortiz426; I firmly believe that the men (and only the men that do this) who try to run women down, control them, abuse them abandon them where they have to raise their children alone, etc., are insecure and jealous as hell or they are sociopaths! Women have a strength some men just cannot accept, heavy sigh!

[@semird615]

I know the video is about being a single mother,but the lyrics are so beautifully written that pretty much anyone having a hard time holding things together can relate. That’s how I’m feeling at the moment,stressing over the uncertainty of my future. The anxiety of having to figure something out on the spot so tomorrow could be better is something I don’t wish on anyone. Peace and love to all, stay focused,motivated and healthy.

[@jeffmejia111]

I was around back in the 80's when Sade was around as well. She was overshadowed by Madonna, Michael Jackson, Van Halen, Depeche Mode, et al. But her music is timeless. Always a class act. It wasn't about her which is why she was overshadowed. She didn't need to perform in lingerie which seemed to be the thing back in the 80's for female artists. And the songs-like this one--deep. These songs have aged like fine wine.

[@michele33s68]

[@ashmo5561]

[@melize7035]

I don't think she was overshadowed, she's sold millions. She's not a pop star, she's in a whole other league and she's never been for all the glitz and glam so it may seem like she was overlook but she's wanted it that way. People love Sade for her music and that was always the goal.

[@leo3932008]

She's very unique. Timeless. Can't compare. Can't be overshadowed. She's a goddess
