Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's diamonds hiding in my hands
They're gonna cut through the windows
Ain't no one messing with my plans
Right now my star is in limbo
Sit back and watch my scrawny frame
Invade your feelings
All the years you caused me pain
I've got some wounds that need healing
[Verse 2]
Well, you were just too damn aloof
Wearing your Morrissey t-shirt
The kind of girl that's born for youth
Well that's a blessing and some curse
I tell you son beware of those
Who peak too early
'Cause all that magic can't be froze
And now it's you who ain't worthy
[Verse 3]
So baby when I get famous
Everybody's gonna see
Oh, oh ,oh
You never really knew me
[Verse 4]
Does it make sense to simplify
Now we're knotted in riddles
But I don't care, do you know why?
The girls are falling like skittles
Whoever said you needed rights
To tame your beauty
I'll say goodbye to lonely nights
Girls, form an orderly queue please
[Verse 5]
So baby when I get famous
Everybody's gonna see
Oh, oh ,oh
You never really knew me
[Verse 6]
So given the knowledge, given time
I'd take us out of recession
I'd tell the world that all was fine
And that their freedom's a blessing
'Cause when I'm looking from the top
You'll all seem smaller
Ain't that what all us humans want?
To stand that little bit taller
[Verse 7]
So baby when I get famous
Everybody's gonna see
Oh, oh ,oh
You never really knew me
[Verse 8]
So baby when I get famous
Everybody's gonna see
Oh, oh ,oh
You never really knew me
[Verse 9]
So baby when I get famous
Everybody's gonna see
Oh, oh ,oh
You never really knew me
[Verse 10]
So baby when I get famous
Everybody's gonna see
Oh, oh ,oh
You never really knew me
[Verse 11]
So baby when I get famous
Everybody's gonna see
Oh, oh ,oh
You never really knew me
