  • Karma

    Song by Taylor Swift ‧ 2022

    You’re talking shit for the hell of it
    Addicted to betrayal, but you’re relevant
    You’re terrified to look down
    ‘Cause if you dare, you’ll see the glare
    Of everyone you burned just to get there
    It’s coming back around

    And I keep my side of the street clean
    You wouldn’t know what I mean

    ‘Cause karma is my boyfriend
    Karma is a god
    Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend
    Karma’s a relaxing thought
    Aren’t you envious that for you it’s not?
    Sweet like honey, karma is a cat
    Purring in my lap ’cause it loves me
    Flexing like a goddamn acrobat
    Me and karma vibe like that

    Spider-boy, king of thieves
    Weave your little webs of opacity
    My pennies made your crown
    Trick me once, trick me twice
    Don’t you know that cash ain’t the only price?
    It’s coming back around

    And I keep my side of the street clean
    You wouldn’t know what I mean

    ‘Cause karma is my boyfriend
    Karma is a god
    Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend
    Karma’s a relaxing thought
    Aren’t you envious that for you it’s not?
    Sweet like honey, karma is a cat
    Purring in my lap ’cause it loves me
    Flexing like a goddamn acrobat
    Me and karma vibe like that

    Ask me what I learned from all those years
    Ask me what I earned from all those tears
    Ask me why so many fade, but I’m still here
    (I’m still, I’m still here)

    ‘Cause karma is the thunder
    Rattling your ground
    Karma’s on your scent like a bounty hunter
    Karma’s gonna track you down
    Step by step from town to town
    Sweet like justice, karma is a queen
    Karma takes all my friends to the summit
    Karma is the guy on the screen
    Coming straight home to me

    ‘Cause karma is my boyfriend (karma is my boyfriend)
    Karma is a god
    Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend (weekend)
    Karma’s a relaxing thought
    Aren’t you envious that for you it’s not?
    Sweet like honey, karma is a cat
    Purring in my lap ’cause it loves me
    Flexing like a goddamn acrobat
    Me and karma vibe like that

    Karma is my boyfriend
    Karma is a god
    Mm-hm
    Karma’s a relaxing thought

  • Anti-Hero

    Song by Taylor Swift ‧ 2022

    I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser
    Midnights become my afternoons
    When my depression works the graveyard shift
    All of the people I’ve ghosted stand there in the room

    I should not be left to my own devices
    They come with prices and vices
    I end up in crisis (tale as old as time)
    I wake up screaming from dreaming
    One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving
    ‘Cause you got tired of my scheming
    (For the last time)

    It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me
    At tea time, everybody agrees
    I’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
    It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

    Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
    And I’m a monster on the hill
    Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city
    Pierced through the heart, but never killed

    Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism
    Like some kind of congressman? (Tale as old as time)
    I wake up screaming from dreaming
    One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving
    And life will lose all its meaning
    (For the last time)

    It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me (I’m the problem, it’s me)
    At tea time, everybody agrees
    I’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
    It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

    I have this dream my daughter in-law kills me for the money
    She thinks I left them in the will
    The family gathers ’round and reads it and then someone screams out
    “She’s laughing up at us from hell”

    It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me
    It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me
    It’s me, hi, everybody agrees, everybody agrees

    It’s me, hi (hi), I’m the problem, it’s me (I’m the problem, it’s me)
    At tea (tea) time (time), everybody agrees (everybody agrees)
    I’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
    It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

  • Delicate – Taylor Swift

    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

  • We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together

    Song by Taylor Swift

    I remember when we broke up the first time
    Saying, “This is it, I’ve had enough,” ’cause like
    We hadn’t seen each other in a month
    When you said you needed space (What?)
    Then you come around again and say
    “Baby, I miss you and I swear I’m gonna change, trust me”
    Remember how that lasted for a day?
    I say, “I hate you,” we break up, you call me, “I love you”


    Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    We called it off again last night, but
    Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    This time, I’m telling you, I’m telling you


    We are never, ever, ever getting back together
    We are never, ever, ever getting back together
    You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
    But we are never, ever, ever, ever getting back together
    Like, ever


    I’m really gonna miss you picking fights
    And me falling for it, screaming that I’m right
    And you would hide away and find your peace of mind
    With some indie record that’s much cooler than mine

  • You Need to Calm Down

    Song by Taylor Swift ‧ 2019

    You are somebody that I don’t know
    But you’re taking shots at me like it’s Patrón
    And I’m just like “Damn, it’s 7:00 a.m.”
    Say it in the street, that’s a knock-out
    But you say it in a tweet, that’s a cop-out
    And I’m just like, “Hey, are you okay?”

    And I ain’t trying to mess with your self-expression
    But I’ve learned the lesson that stressin’
    And obsessin’ ’bout somebody else is no fun
    And snakes and stones never broke my bones

    So, oh-oh (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
    You need to calm down
    You’re being too loud
    And I’m just like (“Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh”)
    You need to just stop
    Like, can you just not step on my gown?
    You need to calm down

    You are somebody that we don’t know
    But you’re coming at my friends like a missile
    Why are you mad when you could be GLAAD? (You could be GLAAD)
    Sunshine on the street at the parade
    But you would rather be in the dark ages
    Making that sign, must’ve taken all night

    You just need to take several seats and then try to restore the peace
    And control your urges to scream about all the people you hate
    ‘Cause shade never made anybody less gay

    So, oh-oh (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
    You need to calm down
    You’re being too loud
    And I’m just like (“Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh”)
    You need to just stop
    Like, can you just not step on his gown?
    You need to calm down

    And we see you over there on the internet
    Comparing all the girls who are killing it
    But we figured you out
    We all know now, we all got crowns
    You need to calm down

    You need to calm down (you need to calm down)
    You’re being too loud (you’re being too loud)
    And I’m just like (“Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh”)
    You need to just stop (can you stop?)
    Like, can you just not step on our gowns?
    You need to calm down

  • ME!

    Song by Taylor Swift ‧ 2019

    I promise that you’ll never find another like me

    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)

    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
    I promise that you’ll never find another like

    Me-e-e, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    I’m the only one of me
    Baby, that’s the fun of me
    Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    You’re the only one of you
    Baby, that’s the fun of you
    And I promise that nobody’s gonna love you like me-e-e

    I know I tend to make it about me
    I know you never get just what you see
    But I will never bore you, baby
    (And there’s a lot of lame guys out there)
    And when we had that fight out in the rain
    You ran after me and called my name
    I never wanna see you walk away
    (And there’s a lot of lame guys out there)

    ‘Cause one of these things is not like the others
    Livin’ in winter, I am your summer
    Baby doll, when it comes to a lover
    I promise that you’ll never find another like

    Me-e-e, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    I’m the only one of me
    Let me keep you company
    Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    You’re the only one of you
    Baby, that’s the fun of you
    And I promise that nobody’s gonna love you like me-e-e

    Hey, kids!
    Spelling is fun!
    Girl, there ain’t no I in “team”
    But you know there is a “me”
    Strike the band up, one, two, three
    I promise that you’ll never find another like me
    Girl, there ain’t no I in “team”
    But you know there is a “me”
    And you can’t spell “awesome” without “me”
    I promise that you’ll never find another like

    Me-e-e (yeah), ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (and I won’t stop, baby)
    I’m the only one of me (I’m the only one of me)
    Baby, that’s the fun of me (baby, that’s the fun of me)
    Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (oh)
    You’re the only one of you (oh)
    Baby, that’s the fun of you
    And I promise that nobody’s gonna love you like me-e-e

    Girl, there ain’t no I in “team” (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
    But you know there is a “me”
    I’m the only one of me (oh-oh)
    Baby, that’s the fun of me
    (Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
    Strike the band up, one, two, three
    You can’t spell “awesome” without “me”
    You’re the only one of you
    Baby, that’s the fun of you
    And I promise that nobody’s gonna love you like me-e-e

  • august

    Song by Taylor Swift ‧ 2020

    Salt air, and the rust on your door
    I never needed anything more
    Whispers of “Are you sure?”
    “Never have I ever before”

    But I can see us lost in the memory
    August slipped away into a moment in time
    ‘Cause it was never mine
    And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
    August sipped away like a bottle of wine
    ‘Cause you were never mine

    Your back beneath the sun
    Wishin’ I could write my name on it
    Will you call when you’re back at school?
    I remember thinkin’ I had you

    But I can see us lost in the memory
    August slipped away into a moment in time
    ‘Cause it was never mine
    And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
    August sipped away like a bottle of wine
    ‘Cause you were never mine

    Back when we were still changin’ for the better
    Wanting was enough
    For me, it was enough
    To live for the hope of it all
    Cancel plans just in case you’d call
    And say you meet me behind the mall
    So much for summer love and saying, “Us”
    ‘Cause you weren’t mine to lose
    You weren’t mine to lose, no

    But I can see us lost in the memory
    August slipped away into a moment in time
    ‘Cause it was never mine
    And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
    August sipped away like a bottle of wine
    ‘Cause you were never mine
    ‘Cause you were never mine, never mine

    But do you remember?
    Remember when I pulled up, and said, “Get in the car”
    And then canceled my plans, just in case you’d call
    Back when I was livin’ for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
    “Meet me behind the mall”
    Remember when I pulled up, and said, “Get in the car”
    And then canceled my plans, just in case you’d call
    Back when I was livin’ for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
    “Meet me behind the mall”

    Remember when I pulled up, and said, “Get in the car”
    And then canceled my plans, just in case you’d call
    Back when I was livin’ for the hope of it all (for the hope of it all)

    For the hope of it all
    For the hope of it all
    For the hope of it all
    For the hope of it all

  • But Daddy I Love Him

    Song by Taylor Swift ‧ 2024

    I forget how the West was won
    I forget if this was ever fun
    I just learned these people only raise you to cage you
    Sarahs and Hannahs in their Sunday best
    Clutching their pearls, sighing “What a mess”
    I just learned these people try and save you
    … cause they hate you

    Too high a horse
    For a simple girl to rise above it
    They slammed the door on my whole world
    The one thing I wanted

    Now I’m running with my dress unbuttoned
    Screaming “But Daddy I love him!”
    I’m having his baby
    No, I’m not, but you should see your faces
    I’m telling him to floor it through the fences
    No, I’m not coming to my senses
    I know he’s crazy but he’s the one I want

    Dutiful daughter, all my plans were laid
    Tendrils tucked into a woven braid
    Growing up precocious sometimes means not growing up at all
    He was chaos, he was revelry
    Bedroom eyes like a remedy
    Soon enough the elders had convened
    Down at the city hall
    “Stay away from her”
    The saboteurs protested too much
    Lord knows the words we never heard
    Just screeching tires and true love

    And now I’m running with my dress unbuttoned
    Screaming “But Daddy I love him!”
    I’m having his baby
    No, I’m not, but you should see your faces
    I’m telling him to floor it through the fences
    No, I’m not coming to my senses
    I know he’s crazy but he’s the one I want

    I’ll tell you something right now
    I’d rather burn my whole life down
    Than listen to one more second of all this griping and moaning
    I’ll tell you something about my good name
    It’s mine alone to disgrace
    I don’t cater to all these vipers dressed in empath’s clothing

    God save the most judgmental creeps
    Who say they want what’s best for me
    Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I’ll never see
    Thinking it can change the beat
    Of my heart when he touches me
    And counteract the chemistry
    And undo the destiny
    You ain’t gotta pray for me
    Me and my wild boy
    And all this wild joy
    If all you want is gray for me
    Then it’s just white noise
    And it’s just my choice

    There’s a lot of people in town that I
    Bestow upon my fakest smiles
    Scandal does funny things to pride
    But brings lovers closer
    We came back when the heat died down
    Went to my parents and they came around
    All the wine moms are still holding out
    But it’s over.

    Now I’m dancing in my dress in the sun and
    Even my daddy just loves him
    I’m his lady, and oh my God
    You should see your faces
    Time, doesn’t it give some perspective
    No, you can’t come to the wedding
    I know he’s crazy but he’s the one I want

    I’ll tell you something right now you ain’t gotta pray for me
    Me and my wild boy and all of this wild joy

    He was chaos, he was revelry
    If all you want is gray for me
    Then it’s just white noise, and it’s my choice

    Screaming “But Daddy I love him!”
    I’m having his baby
    No, I’m not! But you –
    Should see your faces
    But oh my God you should see your faces

  • …Ready For It?

    Song by Taylor Swift ‧ 2017

    Knew he was a killer first time that I saw him
    Wonder how many girls he had loved and left haunted
    But if he’s a ghost, then I can be a phantom
    Holdin’ him for ransom

    Some, some boys are tryin’ too hard
    He don’t try at all, though
    Younger than my exes but he act like such a man, so
    I see nothing better, I keep him forever
    Like a vendetta-ta

    I-I-I see how this is gon’ go
    Touch me and you’ll never be alone
    I-Island breeze and lights down low
    No one has to know

    In the middle of the night, in my dreams
    You should see the things we do, baby (mmm)
    In the middle of the night, in my dreams
    I know I’m gonna be with you
    So I’ll take my time
    Are you ready for it?

    Knew I was a robber first time that he saw me
    Stealing hearts and running off and never saying sorry
    But if I’m a thief, then he can join the heist
    And we’ll move to an island, and

    And he can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor
    Every love I’ve known in comparison is a failure
    I forget their names now, I’m so very tame now
    Never be the same now, now

    I-I-I see how this is gon’ go (go)
    Touch me and you’ll never be alone
    I-Island breeze and lights down low (low)
    No one has to know
    (No one has to know)

    In the middle of the night, in my dreams (eh)
    You should see the things we do (we do), baby
    In the middle of the night, in my dreams (my dreams)
    I know I’m gonna be with you
    So I’ll take my time
    Are you ready for it?
    Oh, are you ready for it?

    Baby, let the games begin
    Let the games begin
    Let the games begin (now)
    Baby, let the games begin
    Let the games begin
    Let the games begin

    I-I-I see how this is gon’ go
    Touch me and you’ll never be alone
    I-Island breeze and lights down low
    No one has to know

    In the middle of the night, in my dreams (my dreams)
    You should see the things we do (we do), baby (baby, mmm, eh)
    In the middle of the night, in my dreams (my dreams)
    I know I’m gonna be with you
    So I take my time (eh)
    In the middle of the night

    Baby, let the games begin
    Let the games begin
    Let the games begin
    Are you ready for it?
    Baby, let the games begin
    Let the games begin
    Let the games begin
    Are you ready for it?
