Royals Lyrics By Lorde

    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 tornup town no postcode envy

    pre
    but every song’s like
    gold teeth grey goose trippin’ in the bathroom
    bloodstains ball gowns trashin’ the hotel room
    we don’t care
    we’re driving cadillacs in our dreams
    but everybody’s like
    cristal 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

    pre
    but every song’s like
    gold teeth grey goose trippin’ in the bathroom
    bloodstains ball gowns trashin’ the hotel room
    we don’t care
    we’re driving cadillacs in our dreams
    but everybody’s like
    cristal maybach diamonds on your timepiece
    jet planes islands tiger’s 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

    oh ohoh
    we’re bigger than we ever dreamed
    and i’m in love with being queen
    oh ohoh
    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
