Lyrics

[Intro]
I'm just a girl, arms open wide
Looking for kindness
Somewhere in your eyes
I'm looking for something I may never find
All I want is love
What you want, it doesn't exist
Love ain't it
[Verse 1]
You say, "Love ain't it"
It makes me weak
But how'd I know if I ain't felt it yet?
You say, "Love ain't it"
And I wish I could compete
With all the grief that you've experienced
[Verse 2]
Love ain't it
And nothing's as sweet
As when you defeat all your enemies
I say, "Love ain't it"
And fear is more important if we're gonna rule for centuries, oh-oh
[Bridge]
Could it really be her?
They're saying there's no one worse
No one's as mean
Mean as the queen, mean as the queen
She's been gone for years
But now she's appeared, so hide under your beds
Under your beds
[Verse 3]
Alright, here we go
Be careful of what you do
Be careful of what you say
That's right
Or it'll be off with your head, off with your head
Out of my way, plebs
Be careful where you go, don't make her upset
Blah, blah, blah
Or else, it'll be off with your head
Hoo!
[Verse 4]
So, you knew her?
I saw through her, Cinderella and I were classmates
No way
I spend way too much time in this place, so I had to escape
Okay
The people here might smile
But they're two-faced and too fake
Wait, you went to Auradon Prep?
Nope, wasn't even called that yet
[Verse 5]
Wow, that girl was super rude
What's her problem? What's her deal?
Some people act mean at first
'Cause they're too afraid to feel
It's survival, it's protection
That's why roses grow their thorns
Come on, whose side are you on?
The only one worse than her is her mom
Look, hon, back in high school
A mean prank was played
And ever since that fateful day
She was never quite the same, it's a shame
What happened? Is it okay to ask?
We came to celebrate the future, sweetie
Not dwell on the past
Haha, stand aside, the queen's arrived!
[Verse 6]
Look at them, so innocent
Can't believe they let us in
Watch 'em pay the consequence for being so dang insolent
Can't you smell their cowardice?
Soak it up, devour it
Treats are for the weak
Let me show you what real power is
Quick, Red, you gotta follow along
One day, you'll be on the throne
Automatic, just how I planned it
What about what I want?
They're gon' fall like parachutes
They're gon' crawl to me on all fours
What did they ever do to you?
Red, what are you arguing for?
[Bridge]
I don't speak politician, I'm a queen
Your submission's what I need
On your knees, kneel to me
Royalty, you should listen, or you'll wind up in a prison
You'll be living in a dungeon underground
[Chorus]
Love ain't it (Love)
Let me show you what real true power is
Ain't, it
It's when I say you only live if I let you live
Power
And you should take what I give when I'm givin' it
And what I'm givin', love ain't it
Love ain't it, love ain't it
Love, ain't
Love ain't it, na-na-na
Love ain't it, love ain't it
Love, ain't
Love ain't it, oh, na-na
Love ain't it
[Verse 7]
Look into the mirror, it's our destiny
Rule a million years with you right next to me
Swimmin' in their tears, won't they taste so sweet?
There's a new dawn in Auradon
I'm gonna take the crown and then put it on
I'm gonna take the crown and do what I want
You're gonna make me proud when you take that throne
[Chorus]
Love ain't it (Love)
Let me show you what real true power is
Ain't, it
It's when I say you only live if I let you live
Power
And you should take what I give when I'm givin' it
And what I'm givin', love ain't it
Love ain't it, love ain't it
Love, ain't
Love ain't it, na-na-na
Love ain't it, love ain't it
Love, ain't
Love ain't it, oh, na-na
Love ain't it
[Outro]
Love ain't, mm
Love ain't it
