[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

So “Kings & Queens” was made in a lot of different parts. It started off as a completely different version you hear now. When I was in the studio, I was joking with everyone in the studio. I was just yelling this out, I’m like, “I am no damsel in distress. I wish I could just put that in the son...
I think it’s incredibly important to have equality for all. And also, the song is fun as well. But at the end of the day, I really wanted to give off a message of it’s not just kings who can be in charge, it can be queens and we can have equality for all and that’s the world I think we’re going towa...
