Better Than Revenge (Taylor's Version) Lyrics
Now go stand in the corner and think
About what you did
Ha
Ha-ha, time for a little revenge
The story starts when it was hot and it was summer
And, I had it all, I had him right there where I wanted him
She came along, got him alone, and let′s hear the applause
She took him faster than you could say "sabotage"
I never saw it coming, nor would I have suspected it
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum
She underestimated just who she was stealing from
She's not a saint, and she′s not what you think
She's an actress, whoa
He was a moth to the flame
She was holding the matches, whoa
Soon she's gonna find stealing other people′s toys on the playground
Won′t make you many friends
She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge (revenge), ha
She looks at life like it's a party, and she′s on the list
She looks at me like I'm a trend, and she′s so over it
I think her ever present frown is a little troubling, and
She thinks I'm psycho, ′cause I like to rhyme her name with things
But sophistication isn't what you wear, or who you know
Or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go
They didn't teach you that in prep school, so it′s up to me
But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity
(Think about what you did)
She′s not a saint, and she's not what you think
She′s an actress, whoa
He was a moth to the flame
She was holding the matches, whoa
Soon she's gonna find stealing other people′s toys on the playground
Won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge (ha, ha)
I′m just another thing for you to roll your eyes at, honey
You might have him, but haven't you heard?
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at, honey
You might have him, but I′ll always get the last word
Whoa
(Come on, can you take it back?)
(Come on)
She′s not a saint, and she's not what you think (no)
She′s an actress, whoa (she deserves it)
He was a moth to the flame
She was holding the matches, whoa
Soon she's gonna find stealing other people′s toys on the playground
Won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge (come on)
And do you still feel like you know what you′re doing?
'Cause I don't think you do, oh (no, no, no, no)
Do you still feel like you know what you′re doing? (No)
I don′t think you do, I don't think you do (come on)
Let′s hear the applause
C'mon show me how much better you are (so much better, yeah?)
See you deserve some applause
′Cause you're so much better
She took him faster than you could say "sabotage"
