Royals Lyrics
[00:00.15] I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
[00:05.70] I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
[00:11.46] And I'm not proud of my address
[00:16.86] In a torn up town, no postcode envy
[00:22.38] But every song's like
[00:23.56] Gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
[00:26.44] Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
[00:29.24] We don't care
[00:31.38] We're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
[00:33.63] But everybody's like
[00:34.87] Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
[00:37.74] Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
[00:40.56] We don't care
[00:42.81] We aren't caught up in your love affair
[00:45.11] And we'll never be royals (royals)
[00:48.97] It don't run in our blood
[00:51.32] That kind of luxe just ain't for us
[00:54.15] We crave a different kind of buzz
[00:56.21] Let me be your ruler (ruler)
[01:00.13] You can call me queen bee
[01:02.25] And baby, I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
[01:06.93] Let me live that fantasy
[01:13.49] My friends and I, we've cracked the code
[01:19.04] We count our dollars on the train to the party
[01:24.83] And everyone who knows us knows
[01:30.15] That we're fine with this, we didn't come from money
[01:35.83] But every song's like
[01:37.04] Gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
[01:39.88] Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
[01:42.66] We don't care
[01:44.97] We're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
[01:47.11] But everybody's like
[01:48.36] Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
[01:51.04] Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
[01:53.98] We don't care
[01:56.25] We aren't caught up in your love affair
[01:58.55] And we'll never be royals (royals)
[02:02.44] It don't run in our blood
[02:04.72] That kind of luxe just ain't for us
[02:07.58] We crave a different kind of buzz
[02:09.69] Let me be your ruler (ruler)
[02:13.76] You can call me queen bee
[02:15.71] And baby, I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
[02:20.33] Let me live that fantasy
[02:22.96] Oh
[02:25.78] Oh (oh, oh)
[02:28.20] We're bigger than we ever dreamed
[02:31.12] And I'm in love with being queen
[02:34.12] Oh
[02:36.97] Oh (oh, oh)
[02:39.69] Life is great without a care
[02:41.29] We aren't caught up in your love affair
[02:43.76] And we'll never be royals (royals)
[02:47.53] It don't run in our blood
