King Princess - Cheap Queen Lyrics






Tough On Myself

Nobody told me to sit down and shut up and take this shit slowly
I'm so bad with the tensions, so my good intentions get bad when you hold me

I get too tough on myself
Sitting alone making fun of myself

You want that young love, like passing emotion, that shit that you dream of
I'm just sitting at home smoking joints like it's my job 'cause that's what my dream was

I get too tough on myself
Sitting alone making fun of myself
Is it so wrong to just want someone else
(I was thinking you and I could get together)
(I was thinking maybe you could do me better)
Is it so wrong to just want someone else
(I was thinking you and I could get together)
(I was thinking maybe you could do me better)

Ooh
Down on my self
I get too
Ooh
I get too tough on myself
Ooh
I get too tough on myself

I get too tough on myself
(I was thinking you and I could get together)
(I was thinking maybe you could do me better)
Sitting alone making fun of myself
(I was thinking you and I could get together)
(I was thinking maybe you could do me better)
Is it so wrong to just want someone else
(I was thinking you and I could get together)
(I was thinking maybe you could do me better)
Is it so wrong to just want someone else
(I was thinking you and I could get together)
(I was thinking maybe you could do me better)

Useless Phrases

You say you want me back
And I don't usually entertain such useless phrases, baby
I thought I had facts
And I don't usually entertain such useless phrases, baby

Cheap Queen

(Cheap queen)
I've been alright
I've just been doing the same shit I've always liked
(Smiling to the audience)
Like smoking and movies and homies who bring me wine
I've been going out too much (cheap queen)
Been talking 'bout myself too much
(Smiling to the audience) oh

I can be good sometimes
I'm a cheap queen
I can be what you like
And I can be bad sometimes
I'm a real queen
I can make grown men cry
I can be good sometimes
I'm a cheap queen
I can be what you like
And I can be bad sometimes
I'm a real queen
I can make grown men cry

Makin' my name (queen)
All of my girls get up early and stay out late (queen)
They drive all the way to the west side to see my face
(How do they do it?)
That's good love (good love, good love)
And I ain't no big baller when it's fake friends you're callin'

I can be good sometimes
I'm a cheap queen
I can be a what you like
And I can be bad sometimes
I'm a real queen
I can make grown men cry
I can be good sometimes
I'm a cheap queen
I can be what you like
And I can be bad sometimes
I'm a real queen
I can make grown men cry

I'm gettin' too cocky since everyone wants me
It's harder to be myself (cheap queen, queen)
(Smiling to the audience)
But I see you love me
It's better than money to know that you'd call me out (cheap queen)
But when the money's out
I can make grown men cry

I can be good sometimes
I'm a cheap queen
I can be a what you like
And I can be bad sometimes
I'm a real queen
I can make grown men cry
I can be good sometimes
I'm a cheap queen
I can be what you like
And I can be bad sometimes
I'm a real queen
I can make grown men cry
(Cheap queen)
(Smiling to the audience)
(Queen)
(Cheap queen)
(Queen)
(Smiling to the audience)
(How do they do it?)
(Queen)

Ain't Together

I know you're with me
And I'd love to see someone else call you
And all this in-between
You think it's hard for me to tell you're falling?
Or we're falling

Being chill, being chill with you
Oh, it kills, I ain't chill at all, at all

We say, "I love you", but we ain't together
Do you think labels make it taste much better?
Darling, do you think that if I talk enough
I will make you wanna be mine?
We ain't together

Cut off all these hoes
Baby you don't gotta worry 'bout nothin'
'Cause everybody knows
That you and I got that something

Being chill, being chill with you
Oh, it kills, I ain't chill at all, at all

We say, "I love you", but we ain't together
Do you think labels make it taste much better?
Darling, do you think that if I talk enough
I will make you wanna be mine?
We ain't together

(Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do, do)
And I can't watch this fall apart

We say, "I love you", but we ain't together
Do you think labels make it taste much better?
Darling, do you think that if I talk enough
I will make you wanna be mine?
'Til you don't say you and I ain't together, babe
Ain't together
Ain't together

Do You Wanna See Me Crying?

Do wanna see me cry for you?
Do wanna see me cry for you?
Do wanna see me cry for you?
(It's cuter when I dance now)
(Think I'm nicer to my friends now)
Do wanna see me cry for you?
(Think I'm working through the stress now)
(I wanna put a million songs out)
Do wanna see me cry for you?
(I keep my money in my hands now)
(And I feel better with my heart out)
Do wanna see me cry for you?
(And you're probably just a fan now)
(It took a minute but I found out)
Do wanna see me cry for you?

Do wanna see me cry for you? (thinks it's cuter when I)

It's cuter when I dance now
Think I'm nicer to my friends now
Think I'm working through the stress now
I wanna put a million songs out
I keep my money in my hands now
And I feel better with my heart out
And you're probably just a fan now, babe
It took a minute but I found out
It took a minute but I found out, oh

Homegirl

They stare, when you walk in the room, like they're looking at Heaven
Oh you know that those boys will do more than just look if you let 'em

And I don't wanna be like them, with you
But you still look at me like him

And you taste like danger but I feel so safe in your arms
And I like the way that you talk, so
Spelling my name with your tongue, so
You don't have to say it
We're friends at the party, I'll give you my body at home

Well I stare when you walk in the room, like I'm scared to forget you
If you're thinking that I'm gonna act like those boys, I would never

But I don't wanna be like them, with you
But you still look at me like him

And you taste like danger but I feel so safe in your arms
And I like the way that you talk, slow
Spelling my name with your tongue, so
You don't have to say it
We're friends at the party, I'll give you my body at home

Prophet

You call when you want it
Everyone wants something from your soul on the molly
Someone's friend is talking like they know, oh, you're on it
I just wanna be your pretty girl, when you want it

'Cause I can only think about you
And what it's like to walk around you
And why they like to talk about you
'Cause I can only think about you

You know what you want
It's only 'bout the money and control
Can't step off it, someone else will cop it
Like it's gold, you're a prophet
Someone's gonna profit
Don't you know, I just want it, uh

I can only think about you
And what it's like to walk around you
And why they like to talk about you
'Cause I can only think about you
'Cause I can only think about you
And what it's like to walk around you
And why they like to talk about you
'Cause I can only think about you

Oh, no apologies, twisting your word and your prophecies
Oh, and honestly, it's the price of the prodigy you wanna be
Oh, no apologies, twisting your word and your prophecies
Oh, and honestly

I can only think about you
And what it's like to walk around you
And why they like to talk about you
'Cause I can only think about you
'Cause I can only think about you
And what it's like to walk around you
And why they like to talk about you
'Cause I can only think about you

Ooh, oh, think about you
(It's the price of the prodigy you wanna be)
Think about you
Do-do-do
Think about
(It's the price of the prodigy you wanna be) do-do-do
Oh, thinking about you, oh
(It's the price of the prodigy you wanna be)
'Cause I can only think about you
Oh, I can only think about you, yeah

Isabel's Moment

Maybe it's over
Maybe it's not
But hope is a thing that you find when you're sober
And your clothes are still in my drawers
Like you're haunting my home
I'd be amazed if you walked through those doors like
"Hey, how's it going?"

But you haven't come over
Maybe I'm done
But you can't choose your love like a phone number
And I'm still trying to draw all the lines through my friends and my lovers
It ain't clear how we feel, when we spend all this time with each other

Is it how it's gonna be?
(Is it how it's gonna be?)

Is it how it's gonna be?
(Is it how it's gonna be?)
(Is it how it's gonna be?)
How it's gonna be

Trust Nobody

Well I don't ever trust nobody
No, I don't ever trust but I trust you
Ain't that great

And I'm still dumb when no one's watching
I bet you're cute when no ones watching you
I guess it's fate

And she said meet me at the party
But I don't know nobody
She said, I'm getting there
They treat you like a ticket
But I just want to kick it
Honey, I'll take you there
When everyone starts calling for me
Oh (I only pick up for you)

Well I don't ever trust nobody
Think I'm cute and kinda funny, oh
I guess it's fair

And I get dumb when you start talking
And one more night and I might fall for you
Oh, I'm there

And she said meet me at the party
But I don't know nobody
She said, I'm getting there
They treat you like a ticket
But I just want to kick it
Honey, I'll take you there
When everyone starts calling for me
Oh, I only pick up for you

Watching me slip over words
It kinda hurts for what it's worth
I just want to be with you
But I don't know nobody
But she said, I'm getting there, oh

She said meet me at the party
But I don't know nobody
Watching me slip over words
It kinda hurts for what it's worth
I want to be with you
But I just want to kick it
Watching you slip over words
It kinda hurts for what it's worth

I just want to be with you
(I just want to be with you)
But I don't know nobody
But she said, you're getting there
Oh, I just want to be with you
(I just want to be with you)
(I just want to be with you)

Watching My Phone

And I know you, destroying things you love to save yourself
And I'm passing through your life
And I know you can't bear to see me go but make me leave
In the middle of the night

(Maybe it will change but)
And you ain't all I've ever wanted in a package
And your independence throws me off my balance

(When I'm alone)
Watching my phone
Thinking about you, baby
Watching my phone
Thinking about you

And I know I can't be the million girls you're gonna meet
And I think that's alright
I apologize, for holding you so tight you couldn't breathe
And thinking you'd be fine

(Maybe it will change but)
And you ain't all I've ever wanted in a package
And your independence throws me off my balance

And I'm alone
Watching my phone
Thinking about you, baby
Watching my phone
Thinking about you, oh

Watching my phone
Thinking about you, baby
Watching my phone
Maybe it will change but

Watching my phone
Thinking about you, baby
Watching my phone
Thinking about you
Thinking about you
Thinking about you
Maybe it will change but

You Destroyed My Heart

Heard you saw my tricks
And no, my biggest superstar from the barricade
Felt you move your hips
But you should probably learn your place
'Cause this isn't it, baby

Destroyed my heart
Now I want somebody good
'Cause you lost the part
Now I want somebody good

Get you back (that was cute)
And we could probably reunite
But I'm a better fag
And you're an amateur (she seems so nice)
And it's cute you want to be my friend, it will never work baby

You destroyed my heart
Now I want somebody good
'Cause you lost the part
Now I want somebody, want somebody good

What you saw
What you cause
And you seem so sad, like it's all my fault
But it's not
'Cause you're gone
It's the best I have
But I'm moving on
Like a pro, it's my job (she seems so nice)
You can break my trust
I just build my funds
And it's time, give me up
And you seem so sad
But it's not my fault

'Cause you, you broke my heart
Now I want somebody good
'Cause you lost the part
Now I want somebody good
Destroyed my heart
Now I want somebody good (she seems so nice)
'Cause you lost the part
Now I want somebody good (she seems so nice)
Destroyed my heart
Now I want somebody good (she seems so nice)
'Cause you lost the part
Now I want somebody good (she seems so nice)

(She seems so nice)

(She seems so nice)

Hit The Back

I need you to search my clothing
Pat me down and feel the molding
'Cause underneath this table feels so good to me
And I need you to be my motor
And run me 'til I can't go further
'Cause every turn you take is just exciting me

And ain't I the best you had?
And I'll let you throw it down
Hit the back
Tell me I need respect
And you know that I'm around
I'm your pet

Ain't I the best you had?
And I'll let you throw it down
Hit the back
Tell me you need respect
'Cause you know that I'm around
I'm your pet

Well I'm a star but you're an icon
A dirty girl with lots of passion
Staring at my fingers while I talk to you
And I don't care if you degrade me
'Cause after all, you are my safety
And everything you touch just feels like yours to me

Ain't I the best you had?
And I'll let you throw it down
Hit the back
Tell me you need respect
'Cause you know that I'm around
I'm your pet
Ain't I the best you had?

(Ain't I the best you've ever had?)
It's really really nice to meet ya babe
(Take my heart and hit the back)
I think I that I really need ya baby
(Ain't I the best you've ever had?)
I think I that I really need ya baby
(Take my heart and hit the back)

Ain't I the best you had?
And I'll let you throw it down
Hit the back
Tell me you need respect
'Cause you know that I'm around
I'm your pet

Ain't I the best you had?
(Ain't I the best you've ever had?)
Ain't I the best you had?

If You Think It's Love

If this is love (what)
I want my money back
'Cause I could use the check
To spend it on a better heart
To wear upon my sleeve (what)
And it might take a sec
My world's become a mess
I'm second-guessing all the things I used to wanna be

So if you think it's love, it is
And if you think it's trust, it is
And if you think it's love, it is
It is

If you want trust
I'll need my conscience back
She got so out of whack
My broken back has carried all the weight I thought I'd need
And it might take a sec
My world's been changing fast
The normal things I never thought I'd miss are obsolete

So if you think it's love, it is
And if you think it's trust, it is
And if you think it's love, it is
It is

(And if you think it's love, it is)
(And if you think it's trust, it is)
(And if you think it's love, it is)
(And if you think it's trust, it is)
(And if you think it's love, it is)
(And if you think it's trust, it is)
(And if you think it's love, it is)
(And if you think it's trust, it is)
(And if you think it's love, it is)
(And if you think it's trust, it is)
And if you think it's love, it is
And if you think it's trust, it is (yeah, yeah)
