                               D
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 postcode envy

                        D
But every song's like: gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ballgowns, trashin' the hotel room
C                                               G
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

 

                                  D
And we'll never be royals - it don't run in our blood
                     C                                                 G
That kind of lux just ain't for us. We crave a different kind of buzz
                            D
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee
                      C                                              G                                     D
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule   Let me live that fantasy

 

D for all:
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, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ballgowns, 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

 

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, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.   Let me live that fantasy

 

D
  Oh   ohh,   oh   ohh
C                                                               G
  We're bigger than we ever dreamed    And I'm in love with being queen
D
  Oh ohh, oh ohh
C                                                                 G
  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, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule  Let me live that fantasy
