Artist/Band: Lorde
Lyrics for Song: Tennis Court
Lyrics for Album: Pure Heroine [2013]



Don't you think that it's boring how people talk

Making smart with their words again - well, I'm bored

Because I'm doing this for the thrill of it, killing it

Never not chasing the million things I want

And I am only as young as the minute is full of it

Getting pumped up on the little bright things I bought

But I know they'll never own me (Yeah)



[Chorus]

Baby, be the class clown, I'll be the beauty queen in tears

It's a new art form showing people how little we care (Yeah)

We're so happy even when we're smiling out of fear

Let's go down to the tennis court and talk it up like, yeah (Yeah)



Pretty soon I'll be getting on my first plane

I'll see the veins of my city like they do in space

But my head's filling up fast with the wicked games, up in flames

How can they fuck with the fun again when I'm known

And my boys trip me up with their heads again, loving them

Everything's cool when we're all in line for the throne

But I know it's not forever (Yeah)



[Chorus]

Baby, be the class clown, I'll be the beauty queen in tears

It's a new art form showing people how little we care (Yeah)

We're so happy even when we're smiling out of fear

Let's go down to the tennis court and talk it up like, yeah (Yeah)



It looked alright in the pictures (Yeah)

Getting caught's half of the trip though, isn't it (Yeah)

I'll fall apart, with all my heart (Yeah)

You could watch from your window (Yeah)

You could watch from your window



[Chorus]

Baby, be the class clown, I'll be the beauty queen in tears

It's a new art form showing people how little we care (Yeah)

We're so happy even when we're smiling out of fear

Let's go down to the tennis court and talk it up like, yeah (Yeah)

And talk it up like, yeah (Yeah)

And talk it up like, yeah (Yeah)

Let's go down to the tennis court and talk it up like, yeah (Yeah)

And talk it up like, yeah (Yeah)

And talk it up like, yeah (Yeah)

Let's go down to the tennis court and talk it up like, yeah (Yeah)
