Kina Grannis - Royals lyrics

rate me

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

Tripping in the bathroom

Bloodstains, ball gowns

Trashing the hotel room

We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

But everybody's like

Crystal, 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

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

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 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

Tripping in the bathroom

Bloodstains, ball gowns

Trashing the hotel room

We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

But everybody's like

Crystal, 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

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

You can call me queen bee

And baby I'll rule

Let me live that fantasy

We're better than we've ever dreamed

And I'm in love with being queen

Life is great without a care

We aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be 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

You can call me queen bee

And baby I'll rule

Let me live that fantasy
