Royals (The Weeknd Remix) Lyrics

[Intro]
(Oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh)
We're bigger than we ever dreamed (Oh, oh-oh)
And I'm in love with being queen

[Verse 1: Lorde]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Lorde]
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: Lorde]
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 (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
[Bridge: The Weeknd]
Oh-ooh, ooh
Oh-ooh

[Verse 2: Lorde & The Weeknd]
My friends and I, we've cracked the code (Cracked the code, cracked the code)
We count our dollars on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows (Knows us knows, no, no, no)
That we're fine with this (With this), we didn't come from money (Ooh baby)

[Pre-Chorus: Lorde & The Weeknd]
But every song's like
Gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care (No, we don't)
We're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like
Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tiger's on a gold leash
We don't care (No, no)
We aren't caught up in your love affair

[Chorus: Lorde]
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 (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
[Bridge: Lorde & The Weeknd]
(Oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh)
We're bigger than we ever dreamed (Oh)
And I'm in love with being queen
(Oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh)
Life is great without a care (Ooh)
We aren't caught up in your love affair

[Chorus: Lorde]
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 (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy

[Outro: The Weeknd]
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh
