Song 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 the torn up town no post code envy

But every song's like gold teeth, gold goose, singin' in the bathroom
Grass stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like gold ring, 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 love
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

But every song's like gold teeth, gold goose, singin' in the bathroom
Grass stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like gold ring, 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 love
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

(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
We're bigger than we ever dreamed, and I'm in love with being queen
(Ooh 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 love
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
