Charli XCX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just wanna go real hard, I just wanna go real hard
Pink diamond in the dark, I just wanna go real hard
I just wanna go real hard
I just wanna go real hard, I just wanna go real hard
Pink diamond in the dark, I just wanna go real hard
I just wanna go real hard
I just wanna go real hard
Lip gloss on and I'm lookin' like a star
Got a tiny bag but I got a big heart
On the video chat, keep starin' at my bra
I'm feeling so fine, kinda feelin' like a snack
Gonna give you good views, watch me with the art
I'm really so rare, I'm sent from above
Wish you could come 'round, pick me up in your car, yeah
I just wanna go real hard, I just wanna go real hard
Pink diamond in the dark, I just wanna go real hard
I just wanna go real hard (real hard)
I just wanna go real hard, I just wanna go real hard
Pink diamond in the dark, I just wanna go real hard
I just wanna go real hard
I just wanna go real hard for days
I just wanna feel in different ways
Every single night kinda feels the same
I'm a pink diamond, I need space
I'm online and I'm feeling so glamorous (uh)
Watch me shine for the boys and the cameras (hey)
In real life, could the club even handle us? (Uh)
In real life, could the club even handle us?
I just wanna go real hard, I just wanna go real hard
Pink diamond in the dark, I just wanna go real hard
I just wanna go real hard (real hard)
I just wanna go real hard, I just wanna go real hard
Pink diamond in the dark, I just wanna go real hard
I just wanna go real hard, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah (real-real hard, I just wanna go real-), yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah (real-real hard), yeah, yeah, yeah
I just wanna go real hard, I just wanna go real hard
Pink diamond in the dark, I just wanna go real hard
I just wanna go real hard
I just wanna go real hard, I just wanna go real hard
Pink diamond in the dark, I just wanna go real hard
I just wanna go real hard
