Lorde – Royals (US Version)

Royals (US Version) lyrics

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 postcode envy

But ev’ry 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 ev’rybody’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

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 ev’ryone who knows us knows

That we’re fine with this,

We didn’t come for money

But ev’ry 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 ev’rybody’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

Let me live that fantasy

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

We’re bigger than we ever dreamed,

And I’m in love with being queen

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

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

Let me live that fantasy
