Better Than Revenge (Taylor's Version)

Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did

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, wouldn't 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

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 where you wanna go

They didn't teach you that in prep school, so it's up to me

That no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity

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

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 always get the last word

Whoa

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

Do you still feel like you know what you're doing?

'Cause I don't think you do, oh

Do you still feel like you know what you're doing?

I don't think you do, I don't think you do

Let's hear the applause

Come show me how much better you are

So you deserve some applause

'Cause you're so much better

She took him faster than you could say "sabotage"
