[Chorus] If all of the kings had their queens on the throne We would pop champagne and raise a toast To all of the queens who are fighting alone Baby, you're not dancing on your own [Verse 1] Can't live without me, you wanna, but you can't, nah-nah-nah Think it's funny, but honey, can't run this show on your own I can feel my body shake, there's only so much I can take I'll show you how a real queen behaves (Oh) [Pre-Chorus] No damsel in distress, don't need to save me Once I start breathin' fire, you can't tame me And you might think I'm weak without a sword But if I had one, it'd be bigger than yours [Chorus] If all of the kings had their queens on the throne We would pop champagne and raise a toast To all of the queens who are fighting alone Baby, you're not dancing on your own [Verse 2] Disobey me, then baby, it's off with your head Gonna change it and make it a world you won't forget (Oh) [Pre-Chorus] No damsel in distress, don't need to save me Once I start breathin' fire, you can't tame me And you might think I'm weak without a sword But I'm stronger than I ever was before [Chorus] If all of the kings had their queens on the throne We would pop champagne and raise a toast To all of the queens who are fighting alone Baby, you're not dancing on your own [Bridge] In chess, a king can move one space at a time But queens are free to go wherever they like You get too close, you'll get a royalty high So breathe it in to feel alive [Chorus] If all of the kings had their queens on the throne We would pop champagne and raise a toast To all of the queens who are fighting alone Baby, you're not dancing on your own [Outro] Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
