Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me? Lyrics by Taylor Swift
The “Who’s Who” of “Who’s That?”
Is poised for the attack
But my bare hands paved their paths
You don’t get to tell me about “sad”
If you wanted me dead
You should’ve just said
Nothing makes me feel more alive
So I leap from the gallows, and I levitate down your street
Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream
“Who’s afraid of little old me?”
You should be
The scandal was contained
The bullet had just grazed
At all costs, keep your good name
You don’t get to tell me you feel bad
Is it a wonder I broke? Let’s hear one more joke
Then we could all just laugh until I cry
So I leap from the gallows, and I levitate down your street
Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream
“Who’s afraid of little old me?”
I was tame, I was gentle till the circus life made me mean
Don’t you worry, folks, we took out all her teeth
Who’s afraid of little old me?
Well, you should be, you should be, you should be (You should be, you should be)
You should be, you should be, you should be (You should be, you should be)
So tell me everything is not about me
But what if it is?
Then say they didn’t do it to hurt me
But what if they did?
I want to snarl and show you just how disturbed this has made me
You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me
So all you kids can sneak into my house, with all the cobwebs
I’m always drunk on my own tears, isn’t that what they all said?
That I’ll sue you if you step on my lawn
That I’m fearsome, and I’m wretched, and I’m wrong
Put narcotics into all of my songs
And that’s why you’re still singing along
So I leap from the gallows, and I levitate down your street
Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream
“Who’s afraid of little old me?”
I was tame, I was gentle till the circus life made me mean
Don’t you worry, folks, we took out all her teeth
Who’s afraid of little old me?
Well, you should be, you should be, you should be (You should be, you should be)
‘Cause you lured me, and you hurt me, and you taught me (You should be, you should be)
You caged me, and then you called me crazy
I am what I am ’cause you trained me
So who’s afraid of me?
So who’s afraid of little old me?
Who’s afraid of little old me?
