"I Forgot That You Existed" Lyrics (Lover album)
Written By Taylor Swift, Louis Bell, and Adam Feeney
How many days did I spend thinking
'Bout how you did me wrong, wrong, wrong?
Lived in the shade you were throwing
'Til all of my sunshine was gone, gone, gone
And I couldn't get away from ya
In my feelings more than Drake, so yeah
Your name on my lips, tongue-tied
Free rent, living in my mind
But then something happened one magical night
I forgot that you existed
And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn't
And it was so nice
So peaceful and quiet
I forgot that you existed
It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference
I forgot that you
Got out some popcorn
As soon as my rep started going down, down, down
Laughed on the school yard
As soon as I tripped up and hit the ground, ground, ground
And I would've stuck around for ya
Would've fought the whole town, so yeah
Would've been right there, front row
Even if nobody came to your show
But you showed who you are, then one magical night
I forgot that you existed
And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn't
And it was so nice
So peaceful and quiet
I forgot that you existed
It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference
I forgot that you
Sent me a clear message
Taught me some hard lessons
I just forget what they were
It's all just a blur
I forgot that you existed
And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn't
And it was so nice
So peaceful and quiet
I forgot that you existed
I did, I did, I did
It isn't hate, it's just indifference
It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference
So, yeah

"ME!" Song Lyrics
ME! (Lover Album)
Written By Taylor Swift, Brendon Urie, Joe Little
[Intro: Taylor Swift]
I promise that you'll never find another like me
[Verse 1: Taylor Swift]
I know that I'm a handful, baby, uh
I know I never think before I jump
And you're the kind of guy the ladies want
(And there's a lot of cool chicks out there)
I know that I went psycho on the phone
I never leave well enough alone
And trouble's gonna follow where I go
(And there's a lot of cool chicks out there)
[Pre-Chorus: Taylor Swift]
But one of these things is not like the others
Like a rainbow with all of the colors
Baby doll, when it comes to a lover

"ME!" Song Meaning
Today is the meaning of the Taylor Swift song "ME!" released on April 26, 2019 from an unknown album.
This 7th new era of songs for Taylor comes on the end of her snake phase, THANK GOODNESS. At the beginning of the song there is a snake but it gets turned into beautiful butterflies. This new phase for Taylor is definitely going to be different, brighter and happy.
She sings this song with Brendon Urie from Panic At the Disco on the music video, but it is not about him. What is this song about?
She sings this song with Brendon Urie from Panic At the Disco on the music video, but it is not about him. What is this song about?
It’s about her relationship with Joe Alywn. In the song we learn they fight in the rain, Taylor goes “psycho” on the phone and all the ladies would want Joe. But Taylor has him even with all her weird quirks. Isn’t that true for most relationships? One person is always the quirky one and that is definitely me. :)
The songs deeper level highlights that two people are not necessarily soulmates, "you're the kind of guy the ladies want", and acknowledges problems in a relationship, "psycho on the phone, I never leave well enough alone, and I tend to make it about me." But in the end that does not matter as much as how much they love one another for being themselves. "You're the only one of you/I'm the only one of me" and "I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me." It is important in relationships to accept each others faults and love them for who they are. Because there’s no awesome without me. Everybody is special for their own reasons. And they need to work together there's no "I in team". They will love each other like no one else ever will.
I love this song for Taylor. I’m so glad she has found Joe and they make one another happy. I CAN NOT wait for the rest of the album! It sounds like it will be so happy! How about you? Are you excited?
Check out 10 Things we learn from her new music video.
(By the way I think Joe gave her another cat and might have proposed...)

"Getaway Car" Song Meaning
Today's Taylor Swift Song is the meaning of the song "Getaway Car" from her Reputation album.
This is one of my favorite songs on the album. Why? Because it is a fun poke at yourself, I do not care what anyone else says, basically Taylor at her best. It talks about two people in a getaway car. In the fourth line of the song Taylor lets on the whole relationship is just a ruse, "But I didn't mean it." She only got in the car because she "wanted to leave him" and "need a reason."
Who is this song about?
It is about Taylor Swift, Calvin Harris, and Tom Hiddleston. Taylor was still dating Adam Wiles, aka Calvin Harris when she helped host the 2016 Met Gala. But she did not have her boyfriend with her on on of the biggest nights of her career. I think at that time they were already having trouble. She met Tom Hiddleston that night and danced up a storm with him.
She references this in the song, "Think about the place where you first met me". This phrase can be literal, they met at the Met Gala ball, and symbolic. "The ties were black, the lies were white/and shades of grey in candlelight." He met Taylor when she was still with her boyfriend and she needed a way out. She was not entirely honest about the whole situation hence the lies.
Tom and Taylor did not publicly get together until a month later. Taylor broke up with Calvin Harris on June 1, 2016. On June 13, 2016 Taylor and Tom were spotted kissing.
They had a whirlwind romance, meeting each others parents that month. Tom went to Nashville to meet hers and Taylor went to England to meet his mom.
Calvin Harris was not happy, and the usually silent about their relationship guy let it all come out on Twitter. He unfollowed her, deleted pictures of her and wrote some scathing tweets about her poisoning "the well". Taylor wrote a song with Calvin called "This is What You Came For" under the pseudonym Nils Sjoberg. He did not want people to know he had collaborated with her and even lied about it when asked by Ryan Secrest if he would ever collaborate with Taylor. On April 28, 2016 he said, "I can't see it happening though. No. She's about to take a long break." When it was revealed Taylor was Nils Sjoberg Calvin wrote a tweet storm "I figure if you're happy with your new relationship you should focus on that instead of trying to tear your ex bf down for something to do." My guess is this song had everything to do with Calvin and Taylor's break up. Taylor might have written the song with him, but they may have had the agreement he would reveal it when the song was released. Calvin decided he did not want Taylor's name involved with the song and decided to not tell anyone about it making her mad. And then they broke up. Calvin's tweets while she was dating Tom made it even worse, it was a "side show", and a "circus ain't a love story."
Tom knew about all this, but went after her anyway, but anyone knows you should NEVER be the rebound guy. He was not "thinkin' ". But "nothing good starts in a getaway car." She hints their relationship was a little contrived and they received money for their pictures. They were "Bonnie and Clyde". When she decided to end it because her heart was not in it, she was just "drinkin' ". She left the "money in a bag" and got out of there. She turned him in. Tom had just done some interviews saying their romance was not for the cameras, but....it was.
Tom only gets one song on the album, probably to explain why she went out with him in the first place. Taylor good for your for getting out of the getaway car as fast as you did. Tom seems nice, but it was not the right time to start a relationship. It seems you find the right guy finally and more on that in the other songs on the album.

Reputation Album Review
I meant to write this a year ago, but I never got around to it. You know how it goes, life just gets busy...
What did I think of Taylor Swift's Reputation album? That is one of the reasons I have been putting off writing this post. I have to say I am not the biggest fan of the album. I have come to terms with the fact that there will be more favorite albums than others from Taylor and I am perfectly fine with that. I hope Taylor if you read this know how much I still love you and care for you, but how it is okay if I did not love this album.
Why is it not my favorite album? It is not my favorite album, because it is two albums in one. It is not sonically cohesive. Reputation is not lyrically cohesive either. Excuse me while I hold my head in shame. One of the messages is about anger and resentment and how she deals filled with harsh sounds. The other message is about her finding love filled with beautiful lyrics and sounds. "End Game" tries to be both of these concepts and loses badly. When I listen to End Game I enjoy the first verse about love and "end games" and then all of the sudden she breaks into rap about her reputation. And goes back and forth the whole song. Just separate the two I say. "King of My Heart" is also two songs in one, starting out nicely and then big and loud with weird sounds. It goes back and forth the whole song too.
Every artist has an album or song like this. What kind of song or album is it? It is about being famous and the problems that go along with it. Britney Spears had the song "Gimme More". She talks about camera flashes and being the center of attention. This is that album for Taylor. She talks about a major fallout she had with Kanye West for most of the album and finding love on the big stage.
The year 2016 was really harsh for Taylor. Not only did she break up with her boyfriend Calvin Harris very publicly, she had a major falling out with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. Kanye basically said that Taylor owed him sexual favors because he made her famous. Taylor stood up for herself at the Grammy's in 2016, and rightly so.
Taylor said:
"I want to say to all the young women out there: There are going to be people along the way who try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame. But if you just focus on the work and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday, when you get where you’re going, you will look around and you will know — it was you, and the people who love you, who put you there. And that will be the greatest feeling in the world."
Why couldn't we have a whole album about this concept? Kanye and Kim came back later and said Taylor speech was hypocritical because she was okay with him saying she owed him favors because he recorded a phone call with her with him asking about it. Kim Kardashian and Kanye manipulated the situation (I think for ratings, isn't everything Kim K does for ratings) to make Taylor look like the bad guy. Why would anyone in their right mind be okay with their husband saying such a thing? Taylor was trying to be nice and not start a huge fight. But she does not need to be pushed around by him, no women should be pushed around or accept that as their fate. But because she said she was okay and then she decided she was not okay with him saying she owed him something, all of the sudden Taylor has a bad reputation.
In this album Taylor describes Kanye West's constant, undeserving, belittling of her and how it makes her feel and how she gets past it. She was not the bad guy even though people said she did "something bad". Kanye was treating Taylor with disrespect and Taylor was not having it. This is what the whole #metoo movement is about. Women not putting up with men's crap. I think she missed the mark because she was too afraid to "blame" him, too afraid to come out and say hey no you can not treat me like that besides that reference. She mentioned it in "I Did Something Bad" possibly the best song on the album, "If a man talks S%$%, then I owe him nothing", but does not explore that message much more in the album. She focuses on her "reputation" too much in the album. The actual word is mentioned in the album in at least 3 or 4 songs and the idea of her reputation is mentioned in most of them. Taylor wrote this before the #metoo movement. I wonder how different the album would have been if she had written it after the movement came out. Would she have had the courage to call out the bad behavior more?
The other message about finding love is epitomized in "Call It What You Want". Taylor says if people hate her, she is okay as long because she has a boy to love her. No Taylor! This song takes a step back from the independent strong nature of 1989 that was epitomized with the song "New Romantics", where she was fine being alone. People do not need love to conquer all. People can be okay without having to have some romantic interest.
The Reputation Album may conveys the struggles that Taylor was going through at the time. Maybe if the #metoo movement had not been happening at the same time the album would have been okay. But it was. When I heard the album it did not resonate and made me want something more. I wanted the album to call out all those men, and all those that accepted sexual abuse/harassment as the norm and say, we are not having it anymore!!! We needed more songs like "I Did Something Bad" on the album and less songs about her reputation. I think she might have been afraid because of the repercussions after the Grammy speech. I hope Taylor is not too afraid in the future to talk about these concepts. We need it. Men need to know it is not okay to sexually abuse or harass women.
(I will say that on tour Taylor did a great job with "I Did Something Bad". She lengthened the song and really emphasized the story and how when she did something bad, she was not really doing something bad, but standing up for herself. And how that is okay and not Bad.)

The Reputation Album may conveys the struggles that Taylor was going through at the time. Maybe if the #metoo movement had not been happening at the same time the album would have been okay. But it was. When I heard the album it did not resonate and made me want something more. I wanted the album to call out all those men, and all those that accepted sexual abuse/harassment as the norm and say, we are not having it anymore!!! We needed more songs like "I Did Something Bad" on the album and less songs about her reputation. I think she might have been afraid because of the repercussions after the Grammy speech. I hope Taylor is not too afraid in the future to talk about these concepts. We need it. Men need to know it is not okay to sexually abuse or harass women.
(I will say that on tour Taylor did a great job with "I Did Something Bad". She lengthened the song and really emphasized the story and how when she did something bad, she was not really doing something bad, but standing up for herself. And how that is okay and not Bad.)

"Babe" Song Meaning
Today's Taylor Swift song is the meaning behind the song "Babe" she co wrote with Patrick Monahan. She wrote the song in 2012-2013 with him, but did not release it with the release of her album at the time "Red". Instead she saved it in a vault and let Sugarland use it for their album Bigger in 2018. It is a great song, I wonder how many more great songs she has saved up in her vault.
Who is this song about? A lot of people think the song is about Jake Gyllenhaal, because she had dated him the most recent and a lot of songs on Red are about him. And because of some of the lines in the song that relate to songs about him, "the last time" and "kitchen floor". After looking at the song however I do not think so. The reason she broke up with Jake was very clearly outlined in "The Moment I Knew". She broke up with him because he did not come to her party. There are only a few guys that cheated on her, one being Sam and the other Joe Jonas. I think she wrote this even earlier and fine tuned it with Patrick Monahan. It had been sitting in her vault even longer! Which one is is about. I would guess Joe Jonas.
Why?
Look at the lines.
"You said no one else", and "We're a wreck, you're the wreaking ball" and "Since you admitted it, I keep picturing/Her lips on your neck, I can't unsee it." Those are very clearly lines referencing that she was cheated on.
In the song she calls him "Babe" constantly. In "Forever and Always" a song about Joe Jonas she calls him "baby" throughout the song. In "Forever and Always" she says "I was there when you said forever and always". In the song Babe she says "Taking down the pictures and the plans we made".
Why did she release it now? She knew it was a good song and people would love to hear it. I would love to hear a whole album of unreleased songs honestly. Everything she touches is gold. This song is very poignant and illustrates the pain of losing someone she had plans with the rest of her life. The first stanza talks about him breaking the promise, the next her taking down pictures, the next one her acknowledging what happened, and the last one her finally letting go. "I'll never call you babe."
Taylor has been over Joe for years and years. I am glad she has recovered from that relationship. She know has Joe Alwyn and has been dating him almost two years. "When I find that person that is right for me. He'll be wonderful, and when I look at that person, I'm not even going to be able to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 25 seconds". Good job Taylor!

"Babe" Lyrics (Sugarland's Bigger Album)
Released April 20, 2018
Written by: Taylor Swift, Patrick Monahan
What a shame
Didn't wanna be the one that got away, yeah
Big mistake, broke the sweetest promise
That you never should have made
I'm here on the kitchen floor
You call, but I won't hear it
You said no one else, how could you do this, babe?
You really blew this, babe
We ain't getting through this one, babe
This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe
This is the last time, this is the last time
This is the last time, I'll ever call you babe
What a waste
Taking down the pictures and the plans we made, yeah
And it's strange how your face doesn't look so innocent
Your secret has its consequence and that's on you, babe
I break down every time you call
We're a wreck, you're the wrecking ball
We said no one else, how could you do this, babe?
You really blew this, babe
We ain't getting through this one, babe
This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe
This is the last time, this is the last time
This is the last time
Since you admitted it, I keep picturing
Her lips on your neck, I can't unsee it
I hate that because of you, I can't love you
Babe
What a shame, didn't want to be the one that got away
How could you do this, babe?
You really blew this, babe
We ain't getting through this one, babe
How could you do this, babe
This is the last time, this is the last time
This is the last time, I'll ever call you babe (how could you do this babe?)
I'm here on the kitchen floor, you call but I won't hear it
You said I'm no one else, we ain't getting through this one, babe
I break down every time you call
This is the last time, this is the last time (we're a wreck, you're the wrecking ball)

"I Did Something Bad" Lyrics
"I Did Something Bad" Lyrics (Reputation Album)
Released October 19, 2017
Written By Taylor Swift, Max Martin, Shellback
I never trust a narcissist
But they love me
So I play 'em like a violin
And I make it look oh so easy
'Cause for every lie I tell them
They tell me three
This is how the world works
Now all he thinks about is me
I can feel the flames on my skin
Crimson red paint on my lips
If a man talks shit, then I owe him nothing
I don't regret it one bit, 'cause he had it coming
They say I did something bad, ah
Then why's it feel so good?
They say I did something bad, ah
But why's it feel so good?
Most fun I ever had, ah
And I'd do it over and over and over again if I could
It just felt so good, good
I never trust a playboy
But they love me
So I fly 'em all around the world
And I let them think they saved me
They never see it comin'
What I do next
This is how the world works
You gotta leave before you get left
I can feel the flames on my skin
He says, "Don't throw away a good thing"
But if he drops my name, then I owe him nothin'
And if he spends my change, then he had it comin'
They say I did something bad, ah
Then why's it feel so good?
They say I did something bad, ah
But why's it feel so good?
Most fun I ever had, ah
And I'd do it over and over and over again if I could
It just felt so good, good
It just felt so good
They're burning all the witches, even if you aren't one
They got their pitchforks and proof
Their receipts and reasons
They're burning all the witches, even if you aren't one
So light me up (light me up), light me up (light me up)
Light me up, go ahead and light me up (light me up)
Light me up (light me up), light me up (light me up)
Light me up (light me up), light me up
They say I did something bad, ah (Oh)
Then why's it feel so good? (So good)
They say I did something bad, ah
But why's it feel so good? (Good)
Most fun I ever had (Most fun I ever had)
And I'd do it over and over and over again if I could
It just felt so good, good
Oh, you say I did something bad
(You say I did something bad)
Then why's it feel so good, good?
So bad, why's it feel so good?
Why's it feel, why's it feel so good? (Bad)
It just felt so good, good

"Delicate" Lyrics
"Delicate" Lyrics (Reputation Album)
Written By Taylor Swift, Max Martin, Shellback
This ain't for the best
My reputation's never been worse, so
You must like me for me…
We can't make
Any promises now, can we, babe?
But you can make me a drink
Dive bar on the east side, where you at?
Phone lights up my nightstand in the black
Come here, you can meet me in the back
Dark jeans and your Nikes, look at you
Oh damn, never seen that color blue
Just think of the fun things we could do
'Cause I like you
This ain't for the best
My reputation's never been worse, so
You must like me for me…
Yeah, I want you
We can't make
Any promises now, can we, babe?
But you can make me a drink
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it chill that you're in my head?
'Cause I know that it's delicate (delicate)
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it too soon to do this yet?
'Cause I know that it's delicate
Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it?
Delicate
Third floor on the west side, me and you
Handsome, your mansion with a view
Do the girls back home touch you like I do?
Long night, with your hands up in my hair
Echoes of your footsteps on the stairs
Stay here, honey, I don't wanna share
'Cause I like you
This ain't for the best
My reputation's never been worse, so
You must like me for me…
Yeah, I want you
We can't make
Any promises now, can we, babe?
But you can make me a drink
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it chill that you're in my head?
'Cause I know that it's delicate (delicate)

'Cause I know that it's delicate
Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it?
Delicate
Sometimes I wonder when you sleep
Are you ever dreaming of me?
Sometimes when I look into your eyes
I pretend you're mine, all the damn time
'Cause I like you
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it chill that you're in my head?
'Cause I know that it's delicate (delicate)
Yeah, I want you
Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it too soon to do this yet?
'Cause I know that it's delicate (delicate)

Is it cool that I said all that?
Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it?

"Don't Blame Me" Lyrics
"Don't Blame Me" Lyrics (Reputation Album)
Written By Taylor Swift, Max Martin, Shellback
Don't blame me, your love made me crazy
If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right
Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'd be usin' for the rest of my life
I've been breakin' hearts a long time, and
Toyin' with them older guys
Just to play things for me to use
Something happened for the first time, in
The darkest little paradise, shaken
Pacin', I just need you
For you, I would cross the line
I would waste my time
I would lose my mind
They say she's gone too far this time
Don't blame me, your love made me crazy
If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right
Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'd be usin' for the rest of my life
Don't blame me, your love made me crazy
If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right
Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'd be usin' for the rest of my life
My name is whatever you decide
And I'm just gonna call you mine
I'm insane, but I'm your baby (your baby)
Echoes, love your name inside my mind
Halo, hiding my obsession
I once was poison ivy, but now I'm your daisy
And baby, for you, I would fall from grace
Just to touch your face
If you walk away
I'd beg you on my knees to stay
Don't blame me, your love made me crazy
If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right
Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'd be usin' for the rest of my life
Don't blame me, your love made me crazy
If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right
Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'd be usin' for the rest of my life
I get so high, oh
Every time, yeah every time you're lovin' me
You're lovin' me
Trip of my life, oh
Every time, yeah every time you're touchin' me
You're touchin' me
Every time, yeah every time you're lovin' me
Oh, Lord, save me
My drug is my baby
I'd be usin' for the rest of my life
Usin' for the rest of my life, oh
Don't blame me, your love made me crazy
If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right (doin' it right, no)
Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'd be usin' for the rest of my life, oh
Don't blame me, your love made me crazy
If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right (you ain't doin' it...)
Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'd be usin' for the rest of my life (I'll be usin', I'll be usin')
I get so high, oh
Every time, yeah every time you're lovin' me
You're lovin' me
Oh, Lord, save me
My drug is my baby
I'd be usin' for the rest of my life
Usin' for the rest of my life, oh

Don't blame me, your love made me crazy
If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right (doin' it right, no)
Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'd be usin' for the rest of my life, oh
Don't blame me, your love made me crazy
If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right (you ain't doin' it...)
Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby
I'd be usin' for the rest of my life (I'll be usin', I'll be usin')
I get so high, oh
Every time, yeah every time you're lovin' me
You're lovin' me
Oh, Lord, save me
My drug is my baby
I'd be usin' for the rest of my life
Usin' for the rest of my life, oh
"End Game" Lyrics
"End Game" Lyrics (Reputation Album)
Written By Taylor Swift, Shellback, and Max Martin
Taylor Swift & Future
I wanna be your end game
I wanna be your first string
I wanna be your A-Team (woah, woah, woah)
I wanna be your end game, end game
Taylor Swift & Future
Big reputation, big reputation
Ooh, you and me, we got big reputations
Ah, and you heard about me
Oh, I got some big enemies (yeah)
Big reputation, big reputation
Ooh, you and me would be a big conversation
Ah, and I heard about you (yah)
Ooh, you like the bad ones, too
Future
You so dope, don't overdose
I’m so stoked, I need a toast
We do the most, I'm in the Ghost like I'm whippin’ a boat
I got a reputation, girl, that don't precede me (yah)
I'm a call away whenever you need me (yeah)
I'm in a G5 (yeah), come to the A-Side (yeah)
I got a bad boy persona, that's what they like (what they like)
You love it, I love it, too, 'cause you my type (you my type)
You hold me down and I protect you with my life
Taylor Swift & Future
I don't wanna touch you, I don't wanna be
Just another ex love you don’t wanna see
I don’t wanna miss you (I don't wanna miss you)
Like the other girls do
I don’t wanna hurt you, I just wanna be
Drinking on a beach with you all over me
I know what they all say (I know what they all say)
But I ain't tryna play
Taylor Swift
I wanna be your end game
I wanna be your first string
I wanna be your A-Team
I wanna be your end game, end game
Ed Sheeran
Now well, when I was young, we connected
When we were little bit older, both sprung
I got issues and chips on both of my shoulders
Reputation precedes me and rumors are knee deep
The truth is it's easier to ignore it, believe me
Even when we'd argue, we’d not do it for long
And you understand the good and bad end up in a song
For all your beautiful traits and the way you do it with ease
For all my flaws, paranoia and insecurities
I've made mistakes and made some choices, that's hard to deny
After the storm, something was born on the 4th of July
I've passed days [?], this end game isn't won
With four words on the tip of my tongue, I'll never say it
Taylor Swift & Ed Sheeran
I don't wanna touch you, I don't wanna be

Ah, and you heard about me
Oh, I got some big enemies
Hey, big reputation, big reputation
Ooh, you and me would be a big conversation
Ah, and I heard about you
Ooh, you like the bad ones, too
Taylor Swift
I hit you like bang
We tried to forget it, but we just couldn't
And I bury hatchets, but I keep maps of where I put 'em
Reputation precedes me, they told you I'm crazy
I swear I don't love the drama, it loves me
And I can't let you go, your hand prints on my soul
It's like your eyes are liquor, it's like your body is gold
You've been calling my bluff on all my usual tricks
So here's a truth from my red lips
Taylor Swift, Future, & Ed Sheeran
I wanna be your end game
I wanna be your first string (Me and you)
I wanna be your A-Team (Be your A-Team)

"Dress" Lyrics
"Dress" Lyrics (Reputation Album)
Written By Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff
Our secret moments in your crowded room
They've got no idea about me and you
There is an indentation in the shape of you
Made your mark on me, a golden tattoo
All of this silence and patience, pining and anticipation
My hands are shaking from holding back from you (ah, ah, ah)
All of this silence and patience, pining and desperately waiting
My hands are shaking from holding back from all this (ha, ha, ha, ha)
Say my name and everything just stops
I don’t want you like a best friend
Only bought this dress so you could take it off
Take it off (ha, ha, ha)
Carve your name into my bedpost
'Cause I don't want you like a best friend
Only bought this dress so you could take it off
Take it off (ha, ha, ha, ha)
Inescapable, I’m not even going to try
And if I get burned, at least we were electrified
I'm spilling wine in the bathtub, you kiss my face and we're both drunk
Everyone thinks that they know us, but they know nothing about
All of this silence and patience, pining and anticipation
My hands are shaking from holding back from you (ah, ah, ah)
All of this silence and patience, pining and desperately waiting
My hands are shaking from holding back from all this (ha, ha, ha, ha)
Say my name and everything just stops
I don't want you like a best friend
Only bought this dress so you could take it off
Take it off (ha, ha, ha)
Carve your name into my bedpost
'Cause I don't want you like a best friend
Only bought this dress so you could take it off, take it off
Only bought this dress so you could take it off, take it off
Only bought this dress so you could take it off
Nights back when you met me
Your buzzcut and my hair bleached
Even in my worst times, you could see the best of me
Flash back to my mistakes
My rebounds, my earthquakes
Even in my worst light, you saw the truth of me
And I woke up just in time
Now I wake up by your side
My one and only, my lifeline
I woke up just in time
Now I wake up by your side
My hands are shaking, and I can't explain this (ha, ha, ha, ha)

"So It Goes..." Lyrics
"So It Goes..." Lyrics (Reputation Album)
Written By OZGO, Shellback and Max Martin
See you in the dark
All eyes on you, my magician
All eyes on us
You make everyone disappear, and
Cut me into pieces
Gold cage, hostage to my feelings
Back against the wall
Trippin', trip-trippin' when you're gone
'Cause we break down a little
And when you get me alone, it's so simple
'Cause baby, I know what you know
We can feel it
And our pieces fall
Right into place
Get caught up in the moments
Lipstick on your face
So it goes…
I'm yours to keep
And I'm yours to lose
You know I'm not a bad girl, but I
Do bad things with you
So it goes…
Met you in a bar
All eyes on me, your illusionist
All eyes on us
I make all your grey days clear and
Wear you like a necklace
I'm so chill, but you make me jealous
But I got your heart
Skippin', skip-skippin' when I'm gone
'Cause we break down a little
And when I get you alone, it's so simple
'Cause baby, I know what you know
We can feel it
And our pieces fall
Right into place
Get caught up in the moments
Lipstick on your face
So it goes…
I'm yours to keep
And I'm yours to lose
You know I'm not a bad girl, but I
Do bad things with you
So it goes…
Come here, dressed in black now
So, so, so it goes
Scratches down your back now
So, so, so it goes
You did a number on me
But, honestly, baby, who's counting?
I did a number on you
But, honestly, baby, who's counting?
You did a number on me
But, honestly, baby, who's counting?
Who's counting?
1, 2, 3
And our pieces fall (pieces fall)
Right into place
Get caught up in the moments (caught up, caught up)
Lipstick on your face
So it goes…
I'm yours to keep (oh)
And I'm yours to lose (baby)
You know I'm not a bad girl, but I
Do bad things with you
So it goes…

"Getaway Car" Lyrics
"Getaway Car" Lyrics (Reputation Album)
Written By Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
He was the best of times, the worst of crimes
I struck a match and blew your mind
But I didn't mean it
And you didn’t see it
The ties were black, the lies were white
And shades of grey in candlelight
I wanted to leave him
I needed a reason
X marks the spot, where we fell apart
He poisoned the well, I was lyin' to myself
I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed
We never had a shotgun shot in the dark
You were drivin' the getaway car
We were flyin’, but we'd never get far
Don't pretend it's such a mystery
Think about the place where you first met me
We're ridin' in a getaway car
There were sirens in the beat of your heart
Should've known I'd be the first to leave
Think about the place where you first met me
In a getaway car, oh-oh
No, they never get far, oh-ahh
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
It was the great escape, the prison break
The light of freedom on my face
But you weren’t thinkin’
And I was just drinkin'
While he was runnin’ after us, I was screamin', "go, go, go!"
But with three of us, honey, it's a side show
And a circus ain't a love story
And now we’re both sorry (we're both sorry)
X marks the spot, where we fell apart
He poisoned the well, every man for himself
I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed
It hit you like a shotgun shot to the heart
You were drivin' the getaway car
We were flyin’, but we'd never get far
Don't pretend it's such a mystery
Think about the place where you first met me
We're ridin' in a getaway car
There were sirens in the beat of your heart
Should've known I'd be the first to leave
Think about the place where you first met me
In a getaway car, oh-oh
No, they never get far, oh-ahh
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
We were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde
Until I switched to the other side
To the other si-i-i-i-ide
It's no surprise I turned you in
'Cause us traitors never win
I'm in a getaway car
I left you in a motel bar
Put the money in a bag and I stole the keys
That was the last time you ever saw me
Drivin' the getaway car
We were flyin’, but we'd never get far
Don't pretend it's such a mystery
Think about the place where you first met me
We're ridin' in a getaway car
There were sirens in the beat of your heart
Should've known I'd be the first to leave
Think about the place where you first met me
In a getaway car, oh-oh
No, they never get far, oh-ahh
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
I was ridin' in a getaway car
I was cryin' in a getaway car
I was dyin' in a getaway car
Said goodbye in a getaway car
Ridin' in a getaway car
I was cryin' in a getaway car
I was dyin' in a getaway car
Said goodbye in a getaway car

"King of My Heart" Lyrics
"King of My Heart" Lyrics (Reputation Album)
Written By Taylor Swift, Max Martin, and Shellback
I'm perfectly fine, I live on my own
I made up on my mind, I'm better off bein' alone
We met a few weeks ago
Now you try on callin' me, baby, like tryin' on clothes
So prove to me I'm your American Queen
And you move to me like I'm a Motown beat
And we rule the kingdom inside my room
'Cause all the boys and their expensive cars
With their Range Rovers and their Jaguars
Never took me quite where you do
And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for
King of my heart, body and soul, ooh whoa
And all at once, you are all I want I'll never let you go
King of my heart, body and soul, ooh whoa
And all at once, I've been waiting, waiting
Ooh whoa, ooh whoa
And all at once, you are the one, I have been waiting, waiting
Body and soul, ooh whoa
And all at once
Late in the night, the city's asleep
Your love is a secret I'm hoping, dreaming, dying to keep
Change my priorities
The taste of your lips is my idea of luxury
So prove to me I'm your American Queen
And you move to me like I'm a Motown beat
And we rule the kingdom inside my room
'Cause all the boys and their expensive cars
With their Range Rovers and their Jaguars
Never took me quite where you do
And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for
King of my heart, body and soul, ooh whoa
And all at once, you are all I want I'll never let you go
King of my heart, body and soul, ooh whoa
And all at once, I've been waiting, waiting
Ooh whoa, ooh whoa
And all at once, you are the one, I have been waiting, waiting
Body and soul, ooh whoa
And all at once
Is the end of all the endings?
My broken bones are mending
With all these nights we're spending
Up on the roof with a school girl crush
Drinking beer out of plastic cups
Say you fancy me, not fancy stuff
Baby, all at once, this is enough
And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for
King of my heart, body and soul, ooh whoa
And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for
King of my heart, body and soul, ooh whoa
And all at once, you are all I want, I'll never let you go
King of my heart, body and soul, ooh whoa
