Lyrics of Royals by Lorde

verse

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

pre-chorus

But every song′s like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room

verse

We don′t care, we′re driving Cadillacs in our dreams

pre-chorus

But everybody's like Cristal, 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

chorus

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

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 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

pre-chorus

But everybody′s like Cristal, 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

chorus

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

bridge

Oooh ooooh ohhh

chorus

We′re bigger than we ever dreamed
And I′m in love with being queen
Oooooh ooooh ohhhhh
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 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
