Lorde
"Royals" lyrics
[Verse
1]
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
the torn-up town, no post code envy
But every song's like gold
teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball
gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
We don't care, we're driving
Cadillacs in our dreams.
But everybody's like crystal, Maybach,
diamonds on your time piece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold
leash.
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair.
ESTRIBILLO
And
we'll never be royals (royals).
It don't run in our blood,
That
kind of lux 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.
[Verse 2]
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 for money.
But every song's like gold
teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom.
Blood stains, ball
gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
We don't care, we're driving
Cadillacs in our dreams.
But everybody's like crystal, Maybach,
diamonds on your time piece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold
leash
We don't care we aren't caught up in your love
affair
ESTRIBILLO
BRIDGE
Oooh
ooooh ohhh
We're bigger than we ever dreamed,
And I'm in love
with being queen.
Oooooh ooooh ohhhhh
Life is game without a
care
We aren't caught up in your love affair
