The Lyrics

Almost every Taylor Swift Song is about some guy who dissed her or done her wrong. Here is MY take on the situation......
I strut into the Grammys; it seems I'm doing that quite a lot
My dress seductively slit way up one side
I guess I looked pretty hot
I had one eye on the camera as I posed for a glamour shot
Some of you guys knew you once were my partner
Once were my partner, but....

You were so mean
That's why I wrote those bad songs about you
You were so mean
And now you know my songs are about you
Don't you, don't you?

I dated them several years ago before my arena shows
And I sensed every day that they didn't care, and that they would have to go
So I turned away those boys I loved
And one of them was Joe
I have Swifties that put cash in my coffers, cash in my coffers, but...

You were so mean
You probably know what songs are about you
You were so mean
You know which songs that I wrote about you
Don't you don't you, don't you now.....

(Guitar Solo)

I love Swifties, they put cash in my coffers, cash in my coffers, but...
You were so mean
I wrote some nasty songs about you
You were so mean
And now you know those songs are about you
Don't you don't you

Well you heard that I went to the Super Bowl, and
My Travis actually won
Then I flew in my Jet to get some more attention
and watch the total eclipse of the sun
Well, I'm there on Facebook all the time
and clogging up the feed... but there is some guy
writing parodies about me, bad songs about me, and....

He's so mean
I'll probably write a new song about him
He's so mean (so mean)
I might just write a new song about him,
about him, shout him down

You were so mean
You diss me and I'll write songs about you
You were so mean
You've got to know this song about you
You were so mean.......
