Lorde
Royals
[Verse 1: Bethany Curtis]
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 post code envy

[Pre-Chorus: Bethany Curtis]
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

[Chorus: Bethany Curtis]
And we'll never be 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
You can call me Queen Bee
And baby I'll rule, let me live that fantasy

[Verse 2: Bethany Curtis]
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-Chorus: Bethany Curtis]
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

[Chorus: Bethany Curtis]
And we'll never be 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
You can call me Queen Bee
And baby I'll rule, let me live that fantasy

[Bridge: Bethany Curtis & Ande Hunter]
Woah, woah, woah
We're bigger than we ever dreamed
And I'm in love with being queen
Woah, woah, woah
Life is great, without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affair

[Chorus: Bethany Curtis]
And we'll never be 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
You can call me Queen Bee
And baby I'll rule
[Outro: Bethany Curtis]
And we'll never be royals (ah, ah-ah)
Let me be your ruler (Ooh)

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
