I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again
'Cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man
I'd be the man
I'd be the man (yeah)
'Cause I'd be the man
I'd be the man
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello"
Little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say "yes"
Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago
I was in your sights, you got me alone
You found me, you found me, you found me-e-e-e-e
I guess you didn't care, and I guess liked that
And when I fell hard, you took a step back
Without me, without me, without meeeee
And he's long gone, when he's next to me and I
Realize the blame is on me
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now-ow
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Till you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now-ow
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground!
Ahh oh oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Ahh oh oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
And the saddest fear, comes creepin' in
That you never loved me or her,
Or anyone, or anything, yeah yeah
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now-ow
Flew me to places I'd never been (never been)
'Till you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in (you were right there)
So shame on me now-ow
Flew me to places I'd never been
trouble, trouble, trouble
Nice to meet you where you been
I can show you incredible things.
Magic, madness, heaven sin
Oh my God, look at that face, you look like my next mistake
Love’s a game, want to plaaaaay?
New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine. Ain't it funny rumors fly
And I know you heard about
Me so hey, let's be friends, I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend
So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over mmm
If the high was worth the pain, got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
Cause you know I love the players and you love the game
Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless, mmm
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I got a blank space baby and I'll write your name
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn you (x2)
I stay out too late
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say, mmm, that's what people say, mmm
I go on too many dates
But I can't make 'em stay
At least that's what people say, mmm, that's what people say, mmm
But I keep cruisin'
Can't stop won't stop moving
It's like I got this music in my mind
Saying it's gonna be alright
Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate baby
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off, I shake it off
Heart breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake baby
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off, I shake it off
N.C.
My ex man brought his new girlfriend
She's like "Oh my God" but
I'm just gonna shake it
To the fella over there with the hella good hair
Won't you come on over baby we could shake shake shake Ye--ah ohhh!
Cause the players gonna play play play play play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate hate baby
I'm just gonna shake shake shake, shake it off, shake it off
Heart breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake baby
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake,shake it off, shake it off
Shake it off, I shake it off, I I
I shake it off, I shake it off, I I
I shake it off, I shake it off, I I
I shake it off, I shake it off
We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January
This is our place, we make the rules
And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear
Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home
You're my, my, my, my lover
Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?
With every guitar string scar on my hand
I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover
My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue
All's well that ends well to end up with you
Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover
And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
And at every table, I'll save you a seat, lover
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home (Forever and ever)
You're my, my, my, my
Oh, you're my, my, my, my
Darling, you're my, my, my, my lover
