Taylor Swift: Early life
Swift was born in the borough of Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. She is the daughter of Scott Swift, a stock broker, and his wife Andrea, a homemaker. She has a younger brother, Austin. When she was in fourth grade, Swift won a national poetry contest with a three-page poem entitled "Monster In My Closet".
At ten, Swift began writing songs and singing at karaoke contests, festivals, and fairs around her hometown. One summer, she devoted herself to writing a 350-page novel, which remains unpublished.
She was a member of a local SNL-inspired kid's sketch comedy group, TheatreKids Live!, where she was a natural comedic talent. After seeing her karaoke performance at one of the cast parties, group founder Kirk Cremer's mother suggested that Swift seemed better poised to pursue a career in country music than theatrical performing. Cremer soon leased space at a local mall and began to showcase his young protégée in weeknight performances of country songs with karaoke backing tracks. Emboldened by her performances and growing audiences, she began to perform in other local open mike and karaoke nights. Her first major show was a well-received performance at the Bloomsburg Fair, arranged by local performer Pat Garrett.
Taylor Swift: Songwriting interest
Swift began learning to play guitar from a computer repairman who showed her how to play three chords. After learning those three chords, she wrote her first song, "Lucky You". She began writing songs regularly and used it as an outlet to help her with her pain from not fitting in at school. Other kids would react badly to her so she wrote songs about them.
Taylor Swift - Early work
Swift's greatest musical influence is Shania Twain. Her other influences include LeAnn Rimes, Tina Turner, Dolly Parton, and Swift's grandmother. Although her grandmother was a professional opera singer, Taylor's tastes always ran more toward country and she developed a love for Patsy Cline and Dolly Parton at an early age. She also credits the Dixie Chicks and Shania Twain for demonstrating how much impact can be made by "stretching boundaries".
At age 11, Swift made her first trip to Nashville, hoping to obtain a record deal by distributing a demo tape of her singing with karaoke songs. She gave a copy to every label in town. Swift was rejected by record labels and her peers.
After Swift returned to Pennsylvania, she was asked to sing at the U.S. Open tennis tournament; her rendition of the national anthem received a lot of attention. Swift started writing songs and playing 12-string guitar when she was 12. Swift began to regularly visit Nashville and wrote songs with local songwriters. By the time she was 14, her family decided to move to an outlying Nashville suburb.
When Swift was fifteen, she rejected RCA Records because the company wanted to keep her on a development deal. Swift then performed at Nashville's songwriters' venue, The Bluebird Café, catching the attention of Scott Borchetta who signed her to his newly-formed record label, Big Machine Records. She also became the youngest staff songwriter ever hired by the Sony/ATV Tree publishing house at 14.

MTV VMA controversy

On July 14, 2009, it was confirmed Swift would perform at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. "I'm so excited that MTV and the VMAs have invited me to perform, because I think this year's show will be unlike anything they've ever done!" stated Swift. "I love incorporating theatrics into my performances, and the VMAs have always allowed artists to run with that," she said. "MTV has been so good to me, and I could not be more excited about this year's VMAs." This was Swift's first performance on the VMAs, where she became the first country music artist to win an MTV Video Music Award. The show aired September 13 on MTV, with British comedian Russell Brand hosting for the second year in a row.
During the awards show, singer/rapper Kanye West came on stage and took the microphone from Swift during her acceptance speech for winning Best Female Video for "You Belong with Me", saying that Beyoncé's video for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", nominated for the same award, was "one of the best videos of all time". This caused the audience in the venue to respond negatively. He handed the microphone back to a stunned and reportedly upset Swift, who did not finish her acceptance speech. West was removed from the remainder of the show for his actions. When Beyoncé later won the award for Best Video of the Year for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", she called Swift up on stage so that she could finish her acceptance speech.
Following the awards show, West apologized for his verbal outburst in a blog entry (which was subsequently removed). He was criticized by various celebrities for the outburst, and by President Barack Obama in an "off the record" comment. He later posted a second apology on his blog and appeared on The Jay Leno Show one day after the incident, apologizing publicly.

On September 15, 2009, Swift talked about the matter on The View. Asked what she was thinking the moment it happened, she stated:
Swift said West had not spoken to her following the incident. Following her appearance on The View, West contacted her to apologize personally; Swift said she accepted his apology.
During the 2009 CMA Awards, the incident with Kanye West was lampooned on stage by Brad Paisley and Little Jimmy Dickens, with Dickens stealing the microphone during Paisley's speech to say Swift's video was better.
Taylor Swift - 2010-present
Swift won the 2010 People's Choice Award for Favorite Female Artist. In February 2010, she is set to bring her Fearless Tour to 5 cities in Australia. Opening acts will include Gloriana.

Taylor Swift: Songwriting style
Swift's lyrics are highly autobiographical; she has said that "If you listen to my albums, it's like reading my diary." For instance the song "Forever & Always" was inspired by her relationship with Joe Jonas, while the song "Hey Stephen" was written about a guy who opened some shows for her. "Fifteen" was written about her freshman year of high school. It has been said that her lyrics "can be tinged with acid: the quiet loner girl getting one over on the cheerleaders, or a caustic payback for the boy who dumped her." She's also indicated that she tries to write so her fans can relate to the lyrics, saying "My goal is to never write songs that my fans can't relate to."
The intently personal nature of the songs have drawn her the most attention. Swift once said, "I thought people might find them hard to relate to, but it turned out that the more personal my songs were, the more closely people could relate to them."
The fact that her songs are so clearly autobiographical has led to her fans researching them. Swift once said, "Every single one of the guys that I've written songs about has been tracked down on MySpace by my fans."

In explanation, Jonas wrote on his MySpace blog (in a post that has since been removed): "I called to discuss feelings with the other person, and obviously these feelings were not well received. I did not end the phone call. Someone else ended it for me. Phone calls only last as long as the person on the other end is willing to talk." Furthermore, Jonas says that he has tried to call her since the breakup, in an attempt at reconciliation, but received no response. During the same interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Swift revealed that the heartbreak song "Forever & Always" on her album Fearless, recorded in late September/early October 2008, was inspired by Jonas.

"We just really connected ... and ever since then we have been inseparable." Anderson also appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to surprise Swift. Anderson was mentioned in Swift's single Fifteen.
Swift is also close friends with Kellie Pickler, with whom she co-wrote Pickler's second single "Best Days of Your Life" from her self-titled album Kellie Pickler. In July 2008, Swift graduated from the Aaron Academy, a Christian school in Hendersonville, Tennessee, which offers a home-schooling program. Prior to this, she attended Hendersonville High School.

Taylor Swift Biography
Taylor Swift White Horse lyrics
Say your sorry
That face of an angel comes out
Just when you need it to.
As I pace back and forth
All this time cause
I honestly believed in you.
Holdin' on
The days drag on
Stupid girl I should have known, I should have known.
That I'm not a princess.
This ain't a fairytale.
I'm not the one you sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell.
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town.
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down.
Now it's to late for you and your white horse to come around.
Maybe I was nave, got lost in your eyes,
and never really had a chance.
my mistake, I didn't know to be in love
you had to fight to have the upper hand
I had so many dreams about you and me.
Happy endings, well now I know...
That I'm not a princess.
This ain't a fairytale.
I'm not the one you sweep off her feet,
lead her up the stairwell.
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town.
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down.
Now its too late for you and your white horse to come around.
And there you are on your knees.
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me.
Just like I always wanted but, I'm so sorry.
Cause I'm not your princess.
This ain't a fairytale.
I'm gonna find someone some day, who might actually treat me well.
This is a big world.
That was a small town, there in my rearview mirror disappearing now.
And it's too late for you and your white horse...
Its too late for you and your white horse to
catch me now.
Oh, Oh,Oh,
Try and catch me now ohh
Its too late
To catch me now
Taylor Swift What To Wear lyrics
She's looking in the mirror
The moments getting nearer
She thinks about it as she walks her walk
Up and down the staircase
Makeup fresh on her face
She thinks about it as she talks her talk
School dance, first chance, always been a dreamer
There's one guy, she's shy, sees him through the mirror
And everybody looks at her,
She thinks about it
Blue dress angel face, looking in the mirror,
Shoes, purse, hair tied back and you should see her,
She's got her magic, floating through the air,
Peace, Love, One thing leads into another
Dream big, Aim small
Man you gotta love her
She's got her hopes up
Got 'em up to there
Wonderin' what to wear
She's standing in her bedroom
He'll be pullin' up soon
She thinks about it as she sees headlights
Looking out the window she's got her diary to show
That she's been waiting for this all her life
First date, can't wait
Lookin' in the mirror
Heart all wrapped up
Wait until he sees her
He's lookin' right at her
She thinks about it
Sixteen blue jeans Abercrombie t-shirt
Shoes purse hair tied back and you should see her
She's got her magic floating through the air
Peace, Love, One thing leads into another
Dream big, Aim small
Man you gotta love her
She's got her hopes up
Got 'em up to there
Wonderin' what to wear
The years went by
The mirror saw her cry
She got up again
She got up again
The wind blew by the small town lights
She got up again
Move out
Find out where the world can take her
Bright lights late nights livin' for the greater
Move to Paris livin' on a prayer
Peace, Love, One thing leads into another
Dream big, Aim small
Man you gotta love her
She's got her hopes up
Got 'em up to there
She's got her hopes up
Got 'em up to there
Wonderin' what to wear
Ooo Ooo
Wonderin' what to wear
Taylor Swift Welcome Back Grunwald lyrics
Turn WYCD on
You're
On your Grunwald
Back from the Amazon
Ah huh huh
He's here
With doctor Don
I heard
They dropped him off
In the amazon
Ah huh huh
He caught an Anaconda
Ate some piranhas
That's kinda disgusting
But whatever
Makes you happy
And I heard
Some naked boy
Showed him around
Yeah
Grunwald's
Back in town
Taylor Swift Untouchable lyrics
Untouchable like
A distant diamond sky
Mmm
I'm reaching out
And I just
Can't tell you why
I'm caught up in you
I'm caught up in you
Untouchable burning
Brighter than the sun
And when you're close
I feel like coming undone
In the middle of the night
When I'm in this dream
It's like
A million little stars
Spelling out your name
You gotta come on, come on
Say that we'll be together
Come on, come on
Little taste of heaven
It's half full
And I won't wait here
All day
I know you're saying
That you'd be here
Anyway
But you're
Untouchable burning
Brighter than the sun
Now that you're close
I feel like coming undone
In the middle of the night
When I'm in this dream
It's like
A million little stars
Spelling out your name
You gotta, come on, come on
Say that we'll be together
Come on, come on
Little taste of heaven
Oh
In the middle of the night
We could form this dream
I wanna feel you
By my side
Standing next to me
You gotta, come on, come on
Say that we'll be together
Come on, come on
Little taste of heaven
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
I'm caught
Up in you
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Untouchable burning
Brighter than the sun
And when you're close
I feel like coming undone
In the middle of the night
When I'm in this dream
It's like
A million little stars
Spelling out your name
You gotta come on, come on
Say that we'll be together
Come on, come on
Oh, ohwa, oh
In the middle of the night
When I'm in this dream
It's like
A million little stars
Spelling out your name
You gotta, come on, come on
Say that we'll be together
Come on, come on
Little taste of heaven
Taylor Swift Umbrella lyrics
You had my heart,
and we'll never be worlds apart,
maybe in magizines,
but you'll still be my star,
baby cause in the dark,

you can stand under my unbrella ella ella eh yeah, under my unbrella, ella ella eh yeah eh eh
Taylor Swift Today Was A Fairytale lyrics
Today was a fairytale
You were the prince
I used to be a damsel in distress
You took me by the hand and you picked me up at six
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale
I wore a dress
You wore a dark grey t-shirt
You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess
Today was a fairytale
Time slows down whenever you're around
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale
You've got a smile that takes me to another planet
Every move you make everything you say is right
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale
All that I can say is it's getting so much clearer
Nothing made sense until the time I saw your face
Today was a fairytale
Time slows down whenever you're around
Yeah yeah
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
Time slows down whenever you're around
I can feel my heart
It's beating in my chest
Did you feel it?
I can't put this down
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
Oh oh oh
Yeah ohooh...
Today was a fairytale
Taylor Swift Tim McGraw lyrics
He said the way my blue eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said: "That's a lie."
Just a boy in a Chevy truck
That had a tendency of gettin' stuck
On backroads at night
And I was right there beside him all summer long
And then the time we woke up to find that summer gone
But when you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
September saw a month of tears
And thankin' God that you weren't here
To see me like that
But in a box beneath my bed
Is a letter that you never read
From three summers back
It's hard not to find it all a little bitter sweet
And lookin' back on all of that, it's nice to believe
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
And I'm back for the first time since then
I'm standin' on your street
And there's a letter left on your doorstep
And the first thing that you'll read is:
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
Someday you'll turn your radio on
I hope it takes you back to that place
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
Oh, think of me
Mmmm
He said the way my blue eyes shine
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said: "That's a lie"
Taylor Swift Tied Together With A Smile lyrics
Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty
Is the face in the mirror looking back at you
You walk around here thinking you're not pretty
But that's not true, cause I know you...
[Chorus:]
Hold on, baby, you're losing it
The water's high, you're jumping into it
And letting go... and no one knows
That you cry, but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone
I guess it's true that love was all you wanted
Cause you're giving it away like it's extra change
Hoping it will end up in his pocket
But he leaves you out like a penny in the rain
Oh, cause it's not his price to pay
Not his price to pay...
[Repeat Chorus]
You're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone... oh
Goodbye, baby
Goodbye, baby
With a smile, baby, baby

It's a thug story, tell me can you handle that?
[BOTH] (T-Pain) Taylor Swift
(I had a dream last night) I had a dream last night
I had high-top Nikes. I had
(Diamonds in my mouth) Diamonds in my mouth
And(Diamonds on my mic) Diamonds on my mic
By the time I woke I was singing,
(I'm on a boat)
Cause Ima,

Taylor Swift The Way I Loved You lyrics
He is sensible and so incredible
And all my single friends are jealous
He says everything I need to hear and it's like
I couldn't ask for anything better
He opens up my door and I get into his car
And he says you look beautiful tonight
And I feel perfectly fine
But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's 2am and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
He respects my space
And never makes me wait
And he calls exactly when he says he will
He's close to my mother
Talks business with my father
He's charming and endearing
And I'm comfortable
But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's 2am and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
He can't see the smile I'm faking
And my heart's not breaking
Cause I'm not feeling anything at all
And you were wild and crazy
Just so frustrating intoxicating
Complicated, got away by some mistake and now
I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
It's 2am and I'm cursing your name
I'm so in love that I acted insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breaking down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you oh, oh
And that's the way I loved you oh, oh
Never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
Taylor Swift The Outside lyrics
I didn't know what I would find
When I went looking for a reason, I know
I didn't read between the lines
And, baby, I've got nowhere to go
I tried to take the road less traveled by
But nothing seems to work the first few times
Am I right?
[Chorus:]
So how can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever lets me in
I can still see you, this ain't the best view
On the outside looking in
I've been a lot of lonely places
I've never been on the outside
You saw me there, but never knew
I would give it all up to be
A part of this, a part of you
And now it's all too late so you see
You could've helped if you had wanted to
But no one notices until it's too
Late to do anything
[Repeat Chorus]
So how can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever lets me in
I can still see you, this ain't the best view
On the outside looking in
I've been a lot of lonely places
I've never been on the outside
Taylor Swift The Other Side Of The Door lyrics
In the heat of the fight I walked away
Ignoring words that you were saying
Trying to make me stay
I said, 'This time I've had enough'
And you've called a hundred times
But I'm not picking up
Cause I'm so mad I might tell you that it's over
But if you look a little closer
I said, "Leave," but all I really want is you
To stand outside my window throwing pebbles
Screaming, 'I'm in love with you'
Wait there in the pouring rain, come back for more
And don't you leave cause I know
All I need is on the other side of the door
Me and my stupid pride are sitting here alone
Going through the photographs, staring at the phone
I keep going back over things we both said
And I remember the slamming door and all the things that I misread
So babe if you know everything, tell me why you couldn't see
When I left I wanted you to chase after me
Yeah, I said, "Leave," but all I really want is you
To stand outside my window throwing pebbles
Screaming, 'I'm in love with you'
Wait there in the pouring rain, come back for more
And don't you leave cause I know
All I need is on the other side of the door
And I'll scream out the window
I can't even look at you
I don't need you but I do, I do, I do
I say, "There's nothing you can say to make this right
I mean it, I mean it"
What I mean is
I said, "Leave," but baby all I want is you
To stand outside my window throwing pebbles
Screaming, 'I'm in love with you'
Wait there in the pouring rain, come back for more
And don't you leave cause I know
All I need is on the other side of the door
With your face and the beautiful eyes
And the conversation with the little white lies
And the faded picture of a beautiful night
You carry me from your car to the stairs
And I broke down crying, was she worth this mess?
After everything and that little black dress
After everything I must confess, I need you
Taylor Swift The Best Day lyrics
I’m five years old
It’s getting cold
I’ve got
A big coat on
I hear your laugh
And look up smiling at you
And run and run
Past the pumpkin patch
and the tractor rides
The sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep
The whole way home
I don’t know why all the trees change in the fall
I know that you’re not scared of anything at all
Don’t know if Snow White’s house is near or far away
But I know that I had the best day
With you today
I’m thirteen now
And don’t know how my friends
Could be so mean
I come home crying and
You hold me tight
And grab the keys
And we drive and drive
Until we’ve found a town
Far enough away
And we talk and window-shop
Until I’ve forgotten all their names
I don’t know who I’m gonna talk to
Now at school
I know I’m laughing on the car ride home with you
Don’t know how long it’s gonna take to feel okay
But I know I had the best day
With you today
I have an excellent father
His strength is making me stronger
God smiles on my little brother
Inside and out
He’s better than I am
I grew up in a pretty house
And I had space to run
And I had the best days with you
There is a video
I found from back when I was three
You set up a paint set in the kitchen
And you’re talking to me
It’s the age of princesses and pirate ships
And the seven dwarfs
Daddy’s smart
And you’re the prettiest lady in the whole wide world
Now I know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you were on my side
Even when I was wrong
And I love you for giving me your eyes
Staying back and watching me shine
And I didn’t know if you knew
So I’m taking this chance to say
That I had the best day
With you today
Taylor Swift There's Your Trouble lyrics
Should have been different but
It wasn't different, was it
Same old story, dear john,
And so long
Should have fit like a glove
Should have fit like a ring
Like a diamond ring
A token of true love
Should have all worked out
But it didn't
She should be here now
But she isn't
[Chorus:]
There's your trouble,
There's your trouble
You keep seeing double
With the wrong one
You can't see I love you,
You can't see she doesn't
But you just keep holding on
There's your trouble
So now you're thinking 'bout
All you're missing how
Deep you're sinking,
Round and round and dragging down
Why don't you cash in your chips
Why don't you call it a loss
Not such a big loss,
Chalk it up better luck
Could have been true love
But it wasn't
It should all add up
But it doesn't
[Repeat chorus]
Should have all worked out
But it didn't
She should be here now
But she isn't
[Repeat chorus]
Taylor Swift Tell Me Why lyrics
I took a chance, I took a shot
And you might think i'm bulletproof, but i'm not
You took a swing, I took it hard
And down here from the ground I see who you are
I'm sick and tired of your attitude
I'm feeling like I don't know you
You tell me that you love me then you cut me down
And I need you like a heartbeat
But you know you got a mean streak
Makes me run for cover when you're around
And here's to you and your temper
Yes, I remember what you said last night
And I know that you see what you're doing to me
Tell me why..
You could write a book on how to ruin someone's perfect day
Well I get so confused and frustrated
Forget what i'm trying to say, oh
I'm sick and tired of your reasons
I got no one to believe in
You tell me that you want me, then push me around
And I need you like a heartbeat
But you know you got a mean streak
Makes me run for cover when you're around
Here's to you and your temper
Yes, I remember what you said last night
And I know that you see what you're doing to me
Tell me why..
Why..do you have to make me feel small
So you can feel whole inside
Why..do you have to put down my dreams
So you're the only thing on my mind
I'm sick and tired of your attitude
I'm feeling like I don't know you
You tell me that you want me then cut me down
I'm sick and tired of your reasons
I've got no one to believe in
You ask me for my love then you push me around
Here's to you and your temper
Yes, I remember what you said last night
And I know that you see what you're doing to me
Tell me why
Why, tell me why
I take a step back, let you go
I told you i'm not bulletproof
Now you know
Taylor Swift Teardrops On My Guitar lyrics
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without
Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's just so funny
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night
[Chorus:]
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause
[Repeat Chorus]
So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into..
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.
Taylor Swift Superstar lyrics
This is wrong but
I can't help but feel like
There ain't nothing more out there
Misty morning comes again and I can't
Help but wish I could see your face
And I knew from the first note played
I'd be breaking all my rules to see you
You smile that beautiful smile
And all the girls in the front row scream your name
So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
Give me a photograph to hang on my wall
Superstar
Good morning loneliness
Comes around when I'm not dreaming about you
When my world wakes up today you'll be in another town
And I knew when I saw your face I'd be
Counting down the ways to see you
And you smile that beautiful smile
And all the girls in the front row scream your name
So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
Give me a photograph to hang on my wall
Superstar
You played in bars, you play guitar
And I'm invisible and everyone knows who you are
And you'll never see, you sing me to sleep
Every night from the radio
So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
Give me a photograph to hang on my wall
Superstar
Sweet, sweet superstar
Superstar
Taylor Swift Suddenly lyrics
Suddenly I, am in front of the lights
Everything, I'm feelin'
Scary and beautiful at the same time
And every day, I try just to breathe
I want to show the whole world
The truth inside of me
Suddenly, people know my name
Suddenly, everything has changed
Suddenly, I feel so alive
In the blink of an eye
My dreams begin to reign
Suddenly time, feels like the wind
It changes everywhere I go
I'm just trying to fit in
Now here I stand
And I'm still just that girl
I'm following my heart
In this amazing crazy world
Suddenly, people know my name
Suddenly, everything has changed
Suddenly, I feel so alive
In an blink of an eye
Suddenly, I am center stage
Suddenly, I am not afraid
Suddenly, I believe again
In a blink of an eye
It's happening now
As my dreams begin to reign, I wanna say, love me for me
What's inside
I wanna be positive, not run away, so Much for you
This is life
Suddenly, I am center stage
Suddenly, I am not afraid
Suddenly, I believe again
In the blink of an eye
My dreams begin to reign
Taylor Swift Stay Beautiful lyrics
Cory's eyes are like a jungle
He smiles, it's like the radio
He whispers songs into my window
In words nobody knows
There's pretty girls on every corner
That watch him as he's walking home
Saying, does he know
Will you ever know
[Chorus:]
You're beautiful
Every little piece love, don't you know
You're really gonna be someone, ask anyone
When you find everything you looked for
I hope your life leads you back to my door
Oh but if it don't, stay beautiful
Cory finds another way to be
The highlight of my day
I'm taking pictures in my mind
So I can save them for a rainy day
It's hard to make conversation
When he's taking my breath away
I should say, hey by the way
[Chorus]
If you and I are a story
That never gets told
If what you are is a daydream
I'll never get to hold, at least you'll know
You're beautiful every little piece love,
and don't you know your really gonna be someone ask anyone.
and when you find everything you looked for,
I hope your life leads you back to my front door.
oh but if it don't will you stay
beautiful beautiful beautiful
beautiful beautiful beautiful
la la la
Oh, oh oh oh,
oh but if it don't,
stay beautiful
stay beautiful
Na na na na na
Taylor Swift Sparks Fly lyrics
The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
and I'm a house of cards
You say my name for the first time, baby, and I
Fall in love in an empty bar
And you stood there in front of me just
Close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me when you're not around
cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
So reach out open handed
and lead me out to that floor
well I don't need more paper lanterns
Take me down, baby bring on the movie star
Cause my heart is beating fast
and you are beautiful
I could wait patiently but
I really wish you would
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me when you're not around
cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
I run my fingers through your hair
And watch the lights go out
Keep your beautiful eyes on me
gonna strike this match tonight
Lead me up the staircase
Won't you whisper soft and slow
I'd love to hate it
But you make it like a fireworks show
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me when you're not around
cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
Taylor Swift Smokey Black Nights lyrics
Let's watch
The tide chase
The waves
Onto the sand
I wonder
If a broken heart
Feel the warmth
On my hand
And I wonder
What a piece
Of driftwood
Has seen all through
His lifetime
Let's walk away
The past through
The smokey black nights
I've seen
A million things
Spoke a million words
Now I only want
To speak to you
Waiting for the words
Counting every bird
There's nothing
I'd rather do
On the
Smokey black nights
Still throught
The haze
I can make out
Constellations
I'll make one
Of you and me
As we sit
In the sand
And I saw
That sunset gleamin
As my eyes went wild
Let's walk away
The past through
The smokey black nights
I've played
A thousand songs
Sang a thousand words
Now I only want
To sing to you
Waited on a wire
Starin' at the fire
There's nothing
I'd rather do
On the
Smokey black nights
I've walked
A thousand miles
Smiled
A thousand smiles
Now I only smile
When I'm with you
Waiting for the words
Counting every bird
There's nothing
I'd rather do
On the
Smokey black nights
So walk with me
As the sweet
Wind dances
I'll write a song
For you and me
On the
Smokey black nights
Taylor Swift Silent Night lyrics
Silent night, holy night
All is calm and all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from Heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing halleluia
Christ the savior is born
Christ our savior is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God
Love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord at thy birth
Jesus Lord at thy birth
Halleluia!
Halleluia!
Halleluia!
Christ the savior is born
Taylor Swift Should've Said No lyrics
It's strange to think the songs we used to sing
The smiles, the flowers, everything: is gone
Yesterday I found out about you
Even now just looking at you: feels wrong
You say that you'd take it all back, given one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes...
[Chorus:]
You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've know that word, bout what you did with her
Would get back to me...
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet...
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me
You can see that I've been crying
And baby you know all the right things: to say
But do you honestly expect me to believe
We could ever be the same...
You say that the past is the past, you need one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes...
[Repeat Chorus]
I can't resist... before you go, tell me this
Was it worth it...
Was she worth this...
No... no no no...
[Repeat Chorus]
Taylor Swift Santa Baby lyrics
Santa baby
Slip a sable
Under the tree
For me
I've been
An awful good girl
Santa baby
So hurry down
The chimney tonight
Santa baby
A '54 convertible
Too, light blue
Well
I'll wait up for you
Dear, santa baby
So hurry down
The chimney tonight
Yeah
Think of all
The fun I've missed
Think of all the boys
I haven't kissed
Next year I could be
Just as good
If you check off
My Christmas list
Santa baby
I want a yacht
And really
That's not a lot
I've been an angel
All year
Santa baby
So hurry down
The chimney tonight
Santa, honey
There's one more thing
I really do need
The deed
To a platinum mine
Santa honey
So hurry down
The chimney tonight
Come and trim
My Christmas tree
With some decorations
Bought at Tiffany's
I really do
Believe in you
Let's see
If you believe in me
Santa baby
Forgot to mention
One little thing
A ring
And I don't mean
On the phone
Santa baby
So hurry down
The chimney tonight
Taylor Swift Run lyrics
You walk free
So catch a ride or catch a cab
Don't you know that I miss you bad
But don't you walk to me
Baby run
Cut a path across the blue sky
Straight in a straight line
You can't get here fast enough
Find your truck and fire it up
Lean on the gas and off the clutch
Leave Dallas in the dust
I need you in a rush
So baby run
So baby run
Oh if you aint got a suitcase
Get a box
Or an old brown paper sack
Pack it light or pack it heavy
Take a truck, take a Chevy
Baby just come back
There's a short cut to the highway out of town
Why don't ya take it
Don't let that speed limit slow ya down
Go on and break it
Baby break it
And run
Cut a path across the blue sky
Straight in a straight line
You can't get here fast enough
Find your truck and fire it up
Lean on the gas and off the clutch
Leave Dallas in the dust
I need you in a rush
So baby run
Run to me
Baby run
Run to me
So baby run
Run
Oh baby run
Taylor Swift Put Your Records On lyrics
Both:
Girl put your records on
Kellie:
Tell me your favorite song
Both:
You go ahead let your hair down
Kellie:
Sapphire and faded jeans
Both:
I hope you get your dreams
Kellie:
Go ahead leave your hair down
Kellie:
American girls
And American guys
Will always stand up and salute
Will always recognize
When they see old glory flyin
There's a lot of men dead
So we can sleep in peace at night
When we lay down our head
Taylor:
My daddy served in the army
When he lost his right eye
But he flew a flag out in our yard
Til the day that he died
He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister, and me
To grow up and live free
Both:
Hey
Uncle Sam put your name
At the top of his list
And the statue of Liberty
Started shaking her fist
And the eagle will fly
And it's gonna be hell
When you hear mother freedom
Start ringing her bell
And it'll feel like
The whole wide world
Is raining down on you
Oh brought to you courtesy
Of the red, white, and blue
Kellie:
Oh
Justice will be served
And the battle will rage
Both:
This big dog
Kellie:
Will fight
When you rattle his cage
Taylor:
You'll be sorry
That you messed with
The U.S. of
Both:
We'll put a red high heel
In your ass
It's the American way
Now Uncle Sam
Put your name
At the top of his list
And the statue of Liberty
Started shaking her fist
And the eagle will fly
And it's gonna be hell
When you hear mother freedom
Start ringing her bell
And it'll feel like
The whole wide world
Is raining down on you
Oh ooh
Brought to you courtesy
Of the red, white, and blue
Taylor Swift Place In This World lyrics
I don't know what I want, so don't ask me
Cause I'm still trying to figure it out
Don't know what's down this road, I'm just walking
Trying to see through the rain coming down
Even though I'm not the only one
Who feels the way I do
[Chorus:]
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in
This world
Got the radio on, my old blue jeans
And I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
Feeling lucky today, got the sunshine
Could you tell me what more do I need
And tomorrow's just a mystery, oh yeah
But that's ok
[Repeat Chorus]
Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission
But I'm ready to fly
[Repeat Chorus]

Taylor Swift Picture To Burn lyrics
State the obvious, I didn't get my perfect fantasy
I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy
That's fine I'll tell mine you're gay
And by the way...
[Chorus:]
I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned you're
Just another picture to burn
There's no time for tears,
I'm just sitting here planning my revenge
There's nothing stopping me
From going out with all of your best friends
And if you come around saying sorry to me
My daddy's gonna show you how sorry you'll be
[Repeat Chorus]
If you're missing me,
You'd better keep it to yourself
Cause coming back around here
Would be bad for your health...
I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
In case you haven't heard,
I really really hate that..
[Repeat Chorus]
Burn, burn, burn, baby, burn
You're just another picture to burn
Baby, burn...
Taylor Swift Permanent Marker lyrics
I know he loved you
A long time ago
I ain't jealous of you
Just thought you should know
You were never good enough for him or anything like me
So you might as well sit back 'cause I ain't tryin to show maturity
[CHORUS]
X is the shape I drew through your face
In permanent marker
Oh yeah
Just like the mark you knew you were makin
Who do you think you are
To write on his heart
In permanent marker
So I found that picture
Of you in that green dress
Sure had a good time
Cleanin up that mess
He found 30 other pieces but he'll never find 'em all
Tried to tape them back together
Now he knows to keep it off the wall
[CHORUS]
X is the shape I drew through your face
In permanent marker
Oh yeah
Just like the mark you knew you were makin
Who do you think you are
To write on his heart
In permanent marker
Well I don't appreciate you callin him to reminisce
The only reason is you're seein just how much better off he is
[CHORUS]
X is the shape I drew through your face
In permanent marker
Ohhhhhh
Just like the mark you knew you were makin
Who do you think you are
To Write on his heart
[CHORUS]
X is the shape I drew through your face
In permanent marker
Oh yeah
Just like the mark you knew you were makin
Who do you think you are
To Write on his heart
In permanent marker
In permanent marker
Oh
Permanent marker
Taylor Swift Outside lyrics
I didn't know what I would find
When I went looking for a reason, I know
I didn't read between the lines
And, baby, I've got nowhere to go
I tried to take the road less traveled by
But nothing seems to work the first few times
Am I right?
[Chorus:]
So how can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever lets me in
I can still see you, this ain't the best view
On the outside looking in
I've been a lot of lonely places
I've never been on the outside
You saw me there, but never knew
I would give it all up to be
A part of this, a part of you
And now it's all too late so you see
You could've helped if you had wanted to
But no one notices until it's too
Late to do anything
[Repeat Chorus]
So how can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever lets me in
I can still see you, this ain't the best view
On the outside looking in
I've been a lot of lonely places
I've never been on the outside
Taylor Swift Our Song lyrics
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
The other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio down
He says baby is something wrong?
I say nothing I was just thinking how we don't have a song
And he says...
[Chorus:]
Our song is the slamming screen doors,
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
'cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date "man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"
And when I got home ... before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again
I was walking up the front porch steps after everything that day
Had gone all wrong and been trampled on
And lost and thrown away
Got to the hallway, well on my way to my lovin' bed
I almost didn't notice all the roses
And the note that said...
[Chorus]
I've heard every album, listened to the radio
Waited for something to come along
That was as good as our song...
Cause
[Chorus]
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
And I wrote down our song
Taylor Swift Our Last Night lyrics
B T E
E H Z
T A R
T N A
E
R
We were standing in an empty room
The moonlight was falling
You were holding my hand when the car pulled up for you
And I could have spent a life with you
But those days were over
You were calling my name when your face faded from view
And wasn't it you who told me the sun would always chase the day
And wasn't it you who told me:
Angels fly in the air tonight
Saying wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?
And stars collide and the air's alive
Or was it just like those promises that you made
On our last night?
I remember waking up with you
The days doing nothing
You meant more to me then than I think you ever knew.
But you were gonna be a doctor, movie star
A poet at a Nobel seminar
I hope the world never tore that out of you
Cause wasn't it you who told me the sun would always chase the day
Yeah wasn't it you who told me:
Angels fly in the air tonight
Saying wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?
And stars collide and the air's alive
Or was it just like those promises that you made
On our last night?
And what ever happened to the things you loved
And the songs we played, and the indian days
Whatever happened to the things you gave away?
Like Harold and Maude and singing
Like Harold and Maude and singing
I was waving as you drove away
The sunlight was falling
You were writing backwards in a dusty window pane
Angels fly in the air tonight
Saying wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?
And stars collide and the air's alive
Or was it just like those promises that you made
On our last night?
Taylor Swift One Way Ticket lyrics
Standing on the border
Looking out into the great unknown
I can feel my heart beating faster
As I step out on my own
There's a new horizon
And the promise of favorable wind
I'm heading out tonight,
Traveling light
I'm gonna start all over again
And buy a one-way ticket
On a west bound train
See how far I can go
Cause I'm gonna go out
Dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know
I will face the world around me
Knowing that I'm strong enough
To let you go
And I will fall in love again
Because I can
Gonna climb the mountain
And look the eagle in the eye
I won't let fear clip my wings
And tell me how high I can fly
How could I have ever believed
That love had to be so blind
When freedom was waiting, d
Own at the station
All I had to do
Was make up my mind
And buy a one-way ticket
On a west bound train
See how far I can go
Cause I'm gonna go out
Dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know
I will face the world around me
Knowing that I'm strong enough
To let you go
And I will fall in love again
Because I can
Well,
I have walked through the fire
And crawled on my knees
Through the valley
Of the shadow of doubt
Then the truth came shining
Like a light on me
And now I can see my way out
Buy a one-way ticket
On a west bound train
See how far I can go
Cause I'm gonna go out
Dancing in the pouring rain
And talk to someone I don't know
Buy a one-way ticket
On a west bound train
I'm gonna have my breakfast
With some pink champagne
Gonna sail the ocean,
Gonna spread my wings
Gonna climb that mountain,
Gonna do everything
Taylor Swift My Own Way lyrics
Verse 1:
I don't want to break your heart
But you just keep on pushing me
I want to walk away
But you have ways of stopping me
I don't know what to say
It's just that I really want to leave
Cause your holding me back, holding me back from the life of luxury
Chorus:
So let me go my own way
Opposite from you
I don't care what you have to say
My hearts not in the mood
Though I really love you
You just keep hurting me
You say tell you what to do to make me happy
The only way is for you to let me leave
Verse 2:
When ever we go out
I'm just a friend to you
But when we at home
You want to call me your boo
An I hate the fact
That when she comes around you make me go away
It's like you can't make up your mind
This is all I have to say
Chorus
Bridge:
You say I can count on you
But you just playing games
An I just let it slide
When call her name
You don't get it
I'm trying so hard not to walk away
But see now I'm tired of your two faces
So I'm just going to go my own way
Chorus:
So let me go my own way ( My own way)
Opposite from you ( From you, from you, from you)
I don't care what you have to say
My hearts not in the mood ( Not in the mood)
Though I really love you
You just keep hurting me ( You just keep hurting me)
You say tell you what to do to make me happy
The only way is for you to let me leave ( Let me leave)
So let me go my own way
Opposite from you
I don't care what you have to say
My hearts not in the mood
Though I really love you
You just keep hurting me
You say tell you what to do to make me happy
The only way is for you to let me leave
Let me leave, an go my own way
Let me leave, an go my own way
Let me leave, an go my own way
Let me leave, an go my own way
Taylor Swift Monologue Song lyrics
I like glitter and sparkly dresses,
But I'm not gonna talk about that, in my monologue
I like baking and things that smell like winter,
But I'm not gonna talk about that, in my monologue
La la la, la la la
I like writing songs about douche bags who cheat on me,
But I'm not gonna say that, in my monologue
I like writing their names into songs so their ashamed to go out in public,
But I'm not gonna say that, in my monologue.
La la, la la la la la,
This is my musical monologue
You might think I'd bring up Joe, that guy who broke up with me on the phone,
But I'm not gonna mention him that, in my monologue.
Hey Joe! I'm doing real well!
Tonight I'm hosting SNL
But I'm not gonna brag about that, in my monologue.
La la la, ha ha ha, ha ha ha, ha ha ha, la la la
And if you're wondering if I might be dating the werewolf from Twilight
(Hi Taylor (Waves, Blows a Kiss and Winks))
But I'm not gonna comment on that, in my monologue.
La la, la la la la la,
This is my musical monologue
You might be expecting me to say something bad about Kanye,
And how he ran up on the stage and ruined my VMA monologue,
But there's nothing more to say because everything's ok
I've got security lining the stage...
This is my SNL monologue
La la, la la la
This is my SNL monologue
La la, la la la la la
Taylor Swift Missing You lyrics
Everytime
I think of you
I always catch
My breath
I'm still
Standing here
And your miles away
And I wonder why
You left me
And there's a storm
That's raging through
My frozen heart tonight
Tyler:
I hear your name
In certain circles
And it always
Makes me smile
I spent my time
Just thinkin'
About you
And it's almost
Driving me wild
But it's my heart
That's beggin down
This long distance
Line tonight
Taylor/Tyler:
And I
Ain't missin' you
At all
Since you've
Been gone away
I ain't missin' you
No matter
What I might say
Tyler:
There's a message
In the wires
And I am sendin' you
A signal tonight
You don't know
How desperate
I've become
And It looks
Like I'm loosein'
This fight
But it's my heart
That's breakin' down
This long dusty
Road of mine
But I ain't
Missin' you
At all
Since you've
Been gone away
I aint missin' you at
No matter
What my friends say
Taylor:
And there's a message
That I'm sendin' out
Like a telograph
To you or something
I can't bridge
This distance
Honey
Stop this heart
Ache all alone
Taylor/Tyler:
I ain't missin' you
At all
Since you've
Been gone away
I ain't missin' you
No matter
What my friends say
I ain't missin' you
Since you've
Been gone away
I ain't missin' you
Yeah, no matter
What your friends say
Hey, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I ain't missin' you
At all
Since you've
Been gone away
I ain't missin' you
Nooo
Taylor Swift Mary's Song (Oh My My My) lyrics
"Mary's Song (Oh My My My)"
She said, I was seven and you were nine
I looked at you like the stars that shined
In the sky, the pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
Growing up and falling in love and our mamas smiled
And rolled their eyes and said oh my my my
Take me back to the house in the backyard tree
Said you'd beat me up, you were bigger than me
You never did, you never did
Take me back when our world was one block wide
I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried
Just two kids, you and I...
Oh my my my my
Well, I was sixteen when suddenly
I wasn't that little girl you used to see
But your eyes still shined like pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
They never believed we'd really fall in love
And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes
And said oh my my my...
Take me back to the creek beds we turned up
Two A.M. riding in your truck and all I need is you next to me
Take me back to the time we had our very first fight
The slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnight
You stayed outside till the morning light
Oh my my my my
A few years had gone and come around
We were sitting at our favorite spot in town
And you looked at me, got down on one knee
Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle
Our whole town came and our mamas cried
You said I do and I did too
Take me home where we met so many years before
We'll rock our babies on that very front porch
After all this time, you and I
I'll be eighty-seven; you'll be eighty-nine
I'll still look at you like the stars that shine
In the sky, oh my my my...
Taylor Swift Lucky You lyrics
There's a little girl
In this little town
With a little too much heart
To go around
Live forever,
Never say never
You can do better,
That's what she says
Mama named her Lucky
On a starlight night
A rabbit foot in her pocket,
She dances in spite of
The fact that she's different
And yet she's the same
And she says do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Lucky you, lucky you
Do do do do do do do do
She sings her little songs
She walks a long a little
Halfway headed for the skies
Left to travel,
Lives they unravel
Mind over matter,
That's what she says
Mama named her Lucky
On a starlit night
A rabbit foot in her pocket,
She dances in spite of
The fact that she's different
And yet she's the same
And she says do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do do
Lucky you, lucky you, lucky you
Do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do do
Maybe she'll sing you do do do
Maybe she'll bring you
Into the skies
Honey, she'll love you
Funny how some view
Angels above you,
Aint so far away.
Mama named her Lucky
On a starlit night
A rabbit foot in her pocket,
She dances in spite of
The fact that she's different
And yet she's the same
And she says do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do
Lucky you, lucky you
Taylor Swift Love Story lyrics
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.
I see the lights; see the party, the ball gowns.
I see you make your way through the crowd-
You 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.
So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet, because we're dead if they knew-
So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.
Oh, Oh.
Cause you were Romeo - I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet" -
but you were everything to me-
I was 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-
Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.
Oh, Oh.
I got tired of waiting.
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was fading-
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said...
Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting, for you but you never come.
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think-
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said...
Marry me Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.
I love you, and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad -- go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby just say... yes.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh.
'cause we were both young when I first saw you
Taylor Swift Last Christmas lyrics
"Last Christmas"
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shied
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
Merry Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying 'I love you', I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kiss me now, I know you'd fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
A crowded room and friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me, I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A girl on a cover but you tore her apart
Maybe this year
Maybe this year I'll give it to someone special
Cause last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
And last Christmas
And this year
It won't be anything like, anything like
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Taylor Swift Jump Then Fall lyrics
"Jump Then Fall"
I like the way you sound in the morning
We're on the phone and without a warning
I realize your laugh is the best sound
I have ever heard
I like the way I can't keep my focus
I watch you talk, you didn't notice
I hear the words but all I can think is
We should be together
Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I'll shine for you
Whoa oh, I'm feeling you baby
Don't be afraid to
Jump then fall
Jump then fall into me
Be there, never gonna leave you
Say that you wanna be with me too
So I'm a stay through it all
So jump then fall
I like the way your hair falls in your face
You got the keys to me
I love each freckle on your face, oh
I've never been so wrapped up, honey
I like the way you're everything I ever wanted
I had time to think it oh, over
And all I can say is come closer
Take a deep breath then jump then fall into me
Cause Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I'll shine for you
Whoa oh, I'm feeling you baby
Don't be afraid to
Jump then fall
Jump then fall into me
Be there, never gonna leave you
Say that you wanna be with me too
So I'm a stay through it all
So jump then fall
The bottom's gonna drop out from under our feet
I'll catch you, I'll catch you
And people say things that bring you to your knees
I'll catch you
The time is gonna come when you're so mad you could cry
But I'll hold you through the night until you smile
Whoa oh, I'm feeling you baby
Don't be afraid, please
Jump then fall
Jump then fall into me
Be there, never gonna leave you
Say that you wanna be with me too
So I'm a stay through it all
So jump then fall
Jump then fall baby
Jump then fall into me, into me
Every time you smile, I smile
And every time you shine, I shine
And every time you're here
Baby I'll show you, I'll show you
You can Jump then fall, jump then fall
Jump then fall into me, into me, yeah
