King Princess - Dirty Work

Copied!

{Verse 1}
Times are hard, you're afraid to pay the fee
So you find yourself somebody who can do the job for free
When you need a bit of lovin' 'cause your man is out of town
That's the time you get me runnin' and you know I'll be around

{Chorus}
I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
I don't wanna do your dirty work no more
I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah

{Verse 2}
Light the candle, put the lock upon the door
You have sent the maid home early like a thousand times before
Like the castle in its corner in a medieval game
I foresee terrible trouble and I stay here just the same

{Chorus}
I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
I don't wanna do your dirty work no more
I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah

{Saxophone solo}

{Chorus}
I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
I don't wanna do your dirty work no more
I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
I don't wanna do your dirty work no more
I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah
I don't wanna do your dirty work

Biography

edit bio

Mikaela Straus (born December 19, 1998), known by her stage name King Princess, is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer. She is known for songs like “1950" and “Talia”. In an interview by MTV News, Straus explains that she chose her stage name because it “encompasses the complexity of [her] gender”. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, she spent her childhood in a musical family. She quickly picked up guitar and piano, as well as songwriting.

At age 11, a record label offered Straus the lead singing role in an animated series, which she turned down knowing it wasn’t the right time or circumstances. She later attended college at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music, but dropped out after a year to focus on music.

Her mainstream debut song, “1950”, is an ode to her girlfriend and the rest of the LGBTQ community. The song was inspired by one of her favorite books, Patricia Highsmith’s The Price of Salt.
