Royals

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh

I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies

And I'm not proud of my address,

In a torn-up town, no postcode envy

But every song's like diamonds,

Gold teeth chillin' in the bathroom

Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,

We don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams

Everybody's like black tie, maybach

Diamonds on your timepiece

Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.

We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals (royals)

It don't run in our blood,

That kind of luxe just ain't for us.

We crave a different kind of buzz.

Let me be your ruler (ruler),

You can call me queen bee

And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule

Let me live that fantasy

My friends and I—we've cracked the code.

We count our dollars on the train, to the party.

And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this,

We didn't come from money.

But every song's like diamonds,

Gold teeth chillin' in the bathroom

Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,

We don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams.

Everybody's like black tie, maybach

Diamonds on your timepiece

Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.

We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair.

And we'll never be royals (royals).

It don't run in our blood,

That kind of luxe just ain't for us.

We crave a different kind of buzz.

Let me be your ruler (ruler),

You can call me queen bee

And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.

Let me live that fantasy.

Ooh ooh oh

We're bigger than we ever dreamed,

And I'm in love with being queen.

Ooh ooh oh

Life is great without a care

We aren't caught up in your love affair.

And we'll never be royals (royals).

It don't run in our blood,

That kind of luxe just ain't for us.

We crave a different kind of buzz.

Let me be your ruler (ruler),

You can call me queen bee

And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.

Let me live that fantasy.
