King Princess

1950

King Princess

"Queer love was only able to exist privately for a long time, expressed in society through coded art form. I wrote this song as a story of unrequited love in my own life, doing my best to acknowledge and pay homage to that part of history"


Verse 1

I hate it when dudes try to chase me
But I love it when you try to save me
Cause I'm just a lady
I love it when we play 1950
It's so cold that your stare's 'bout to kill me
I'm surprised when you kiss me




Pre-Chorus

So tell me why my gods look like you
And tell me why it's wrong




Chorus

So I'll wait for you, I'll pray
I will keep on waiting for your love
For you, I'll wait
I will keep on waiting for your




Verse 2

Did you mean it when you said I was pretty?
That you didn't wanna live in a city
Where the people are shitty?
I like it when we play 1950
So bold, make them know that you're with me
Stone cold, will you miss me?




Pre-Chorus

So tell me why my gods look like you
And tell me why it's wrong




Chorus

So I'll wait for you, I'll pray
I will keep on waiting for your love
For you, I'll wait
I will keep on waiting for your




Bridge

I hope that you're happy with me in your life
I hope that you won't slip away in the night
I hope that you're happy with me in your life
I hope that you won't slip away
I hate it when dudes try to chase me
I love it when you try to save me
'Cause I'm just a lady




Pre-Chorus

So tell me why my gods look like you
And tell me why it's wrong




Chorus

So I'll wait for you, I'll pray
I will keep on waiting for your love
(For your love, for your love, for your love)
For you, I'll wait
I will keep on waiting for your
