Now go stand in the corner
And think about what you did
Ha, time for a little revenge
Bm G
The story starts when it was hot and it was summer
D A
And I had it all, I had him right there where I wanted him
Bm G
She came along, got him alone, and let's hear the applause
D A
She took him faster than you can say sabotage
Bm G
I never saw it coming, wouldn't have suspected it
D A
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
Bm G
She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum
D A
She underestimated just who she was stealing from
Bm G
She's not a saint, and she's not what you think
D A
She's an actress, whoa
Bm G
She's better known for the things that she does
D A
On the mattress, whoa
Bm G
Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys
A G
On the playground won't make you many friends
Bm G
She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind
D A Bm G D A
There is nothing I do better than revenge
Bm G
She lives her life like it's a party and she's on the list
D A
She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it
Bm G
I think her ever present frown is a little troubling
D A
She thinks I'm psycho 'cause I like to rhyme her name with things
Bm G
But Sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know
D A
Or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go
Bm G
Oh, they don't teach you that in prep school, so it's up to me
D A
But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity
Bm G
She's not a saint, and she's not what you think
D A
She's an actress, whoa
Bm G
She's better known for the things that she does
D A
On the mattress, whoa
Bm G
Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys
A G
On the playground won't make you many friends
Bm G
She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind
D A Bm G D A
There is nothing I do better than revenge
Bm G
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at, honey
D A
You might have him, but haven't you heard?
Bm G
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at, honey
D A Bm G D A Bm G D A
You might have him, but I always get the last word
Bm G
She's not a saint, and she's not what you think
D A
She's an actress, whoa
Bm G
She's better known for the things that she does
D A
On the mattress, whoa
Bm G
Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys
A G
On the playground won't make you many friends
Bm G
She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind
D A Bm G D A
There is nothing I do better than revenge
Bm G
And do you still feel like you know what you're doing
D A
Cuz I don't think you do oh
Bm G
And do you still feel like you know what you're doing
D A
Cuz I don't think you do, I don't think you do
Bm
Let's cue the applause
G D A
Come on show me how much better you are
Bm
Yeah you deserve some applause
G
Cuz you're so much better
D A
She took him faster than you can say sabatoge

I really hope in Taylor’s re-recording of speak now that she doesn’t change this song! I love it, it’s such a good song! And this is an old song all the damage has already been done! And if she doesn’t re-record it scooter will continue to get all of Taylor’s money! She has to re-record it WITHOUT changes!
