royals

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 (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 (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, 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 (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 (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 oh ooh
We’re better than we’ve every dreamed
And I’m in love with being queen

ooh ooh oh 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 lux 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

the weekend

Couple of days isn’t a very long time
Why can’t I just walk away? I used to be good at goodbyes
Out on the water, under the stars,
I let the moonlight play a trick on my heart

You had some fun for the weekend
But I’ll be in love for the rest of my life
You took me out to the deep end
And I fell right over, I didn’t think twice
Finally got something worth keepin’
And if I can’t have you tonight…
At least I had the weekend

The radio plays, the sound of the waves rolling in
The smell of the night sure can get under your skin
Just for a moment, I held you too close
Now I’m all out of time and I don’t want to let go

You had some fun for the weekend
But I’ll be in love for the rest of my life
You took me out to the deep end
And I fell right over, I didn’t think twice
Finally got something worth keepin’
And if I can’t have you tonight…
At least I had the weekend

How much can happen in a night or two?
I guess its all depending on your point of view….

You had some fun for the weekend, girl
But I’ll be in love for the rest of my life
You took me out to the deep end
And I fell right over I didn’t think twice
Finally got something worth keeping
And if I can’t have you tonight
At least I had the weekend.

the luckiest

I don’t get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns,
The stumbles and falls brought me here

And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it every day

And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

What if I’d been born 50 years before you
In a house on the street where you lived?
Maybe I’d be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?

And in a wide sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize

And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

I love you more than I have
Ever found a way to say to you

Next door there’s an old man who lived to his 90s
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife, she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away

I’m sorry, I know that’s
A strange way to tell you
That I know we belong

That I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
