Oh, tonight I'm gonna show them what I'm made of, oh The killer queen inside me's coming to say hello Oh, tonight I will return the fame and riches earned With you I'd watch them all be burned Whenever I start feeling strong I'm called a **tch in the night But I don't need these 14 karat guns to win I'm a woman I insist, it's my life I can be the queen that's inside of me, this is my chance to release And be brave for you, you'll see, I can be the queen you need me to be This is my chance to be the dance, I've dreamed it's happening I can be the queen I am wind and hurricane, the stormy sky and rain When you run dry I'll flood your pain In between the moments of the lady I've become A voice beats through the noise like drums, rum pum pum pum Whenever I start feeling strong I'm called a **tch in the night But I don't need these 14 karat guns to win I'm a woman I insist, it's my life I can be the queen that's inside of me, this is my chance to release And be brave for you, you'll see, I can be the queen you need me to be This is my chance to be the dance, I've dreamed it's happening I can be the queen The quee-ee-en The que-que-queen Que-ee-en que-que-queen Starry night, come inside me like never before Don't forget me when I come crying to heaven's door I will fly on a challenger across the sky
