"Queen Of LA" lyrics
I never had the body type
Or the perfect face
But I'd show up to the parties
And I'd dance the night away
Spending nights telling jokes
At my own expense
Makin' Hollywood my best friend
I don't know where I went
Tryna to fit in
Ended up a mess
Lost myself in sin
But sometimes I think
I could've made it
If I stayed...
Would I have lived to tell this tale
But I prefer the rain and the grey in Dublin
With My feet on the ground and my head clear as day
I guess I wasn't built for the bright lights
You knew that I was never gonna stay
And the endless nights we spent Malibu dreaming
The boys club that I tried so hard to be in
Oh You know It broke my heart when I was leaving
And still still I wonder to this day
What it would be like to say
Hey, I'm the queen of LA
Oh she's perfect
She's cool she's so damn good
She fits right in and plays the game better than I could
She wouldn't take no shit all the ways I used to take it
She's surviving it she's thriving
And She deserves to claim it oh
No I'm not jealous
I am proud as hell
I know what it took
For her to get up there
Going to the top
Yeah Shes gonna make it
It's a hell of a climb
I hope she stays there for a while
But I prefer the rain and the grey in Dublin
With My feet on the ground and my head clear as day
I guess I wasn't built for the bright lights
You knew that I was never gonna stay
Accolades
All the dreams
Everybody knowin' your name
I can't stand the wicked games
Losing yourself for fame
Sun is shining, money's blinding
Devil on your shoulder smiling
Still I wonder to this day
What it would be like to say hey
I'm the queen of LA
But I prefer the rain and the grey in Dublin
With My feet on the ground and my head clear as day
I guess I wasn't built for the bright lights
You knew that I was never gonna stay
And the endless nights we spent Malibu dreaming
The boys club that I tried so hard to be in
Oh You know It broke my heart when I was leaving
And still still I wonder to this day
What it would be like to say
Hey, I'm the queen of LA
Well fair play to the queen of LA
Or the perfect face
But I'd show up to the parties
And I'd dance the night away
Spending nights telling jokes
At my own expense
Makin' Hollywood my best friend
I don't know where I went
Tryna to fit in
Ended up a mess
Lost myself in sin
But sometimes I think
I could've made it
If I stayed...
Would I have lived to tell this tale
But I prefer the rain and the grey in Dublin
With My feet on the ground and my head clear as day
I guess I wasn't built for the bright lights
You knew that I was never gonna stay
And the endless nights we spent Malibu dreaming
The boys club that I tried so hard to be in
Oh You know It broke my heart when I was leaving
And still still I wonder to this day
What it would be like to say
Hey, I'm the queen of LA
Oh she's perfect
She's cool she's so damn good
She fits right in and plays the game better than I could
She wouldn't take no shit all the ways I used to take it
She's surviving it she's thriving
And She deserves to claim it oh
No I'm not jealous
I am proud as hell

I hope she stays there for a while
But I prefer the rain and the grey in Dublin
With My feet on the ground and my head clear as day

Well fair play to the queen of LA
