Queen lyrics

I was a queen trying to be something I'm not

I walked out the gates, I followed your heart and sold myself out

Dressed like a queen, begging in the street

Hoping you'll see me lying at your feet

Oh, give me a dollar, boy, buy me a feed

I'm starving to death when I've got what I need

Up on the hill where I used to live, they speak of me

The girl with the gold under her skin, cheer all the freaks

Dressed like a queen, begging in the street

Hoping you'll see me lying at your feet

Oh, give me a dollar, boy, buy me a feed

I'm starving to death when I've got what I need

I should've ended it when it was over

I could've done it if I was sober

All of the love that I thought that I feel

I was giving away for the scraps of your meal

I'm dressed like a queen, begging in the street

Hoping you'll see me lying at your feet

Oh, give me a dollar, boy, buy me a feed

I'm starving to death when I've got what I need

I got what I need, boy

I got what I need, boy

I got what I need, boy

I got what I need

I should've ended it when it was over

I could've done it if I was sober

All of the love that I thought that I feel

I was giving away for the scraps of your meal

I couldn't see that I lay at your feet

Hoping that he would notice the gold of my dreams

All of the worth that I put in your hands

I can finally see that it's not who I am

I should've ended it when it was over

I could've done it if I was sober

All of the love that I thought that I feel

I was giving away for the scraps of your meal

I'm dressed like a queen, begging in the street

Hoping you'll see me lying at your feet

Oh, give me a dollar, boy, buy me a feed

I'm starving to death when I've got what I need
