Im so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if Id get there quicker if I was a man
And Im so sick of them coming at me again
Cause if I was a man, then Id be the man
Id be the man, Id be the man yeah
Cause Id be the man, Id be the man
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes, and the flashback starts
Im standing there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And 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 dont go, and I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
Ill be waiting, all theres left to do is run
Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess
Its a love story baby just say yes
Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago
I was in your sights, you got me alone
You found me, you found me, you found me
I guess you didnt care, and I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard, you took a step back
Without me, without me, without me
And hes long gone, when hes next to me
And I realize the blame is on me
Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So, shame on me now
Flew me to places Id never been
Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So, shame on me now
Flew me to places Id never been
Now Im lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh-oh 
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh-oh 
Trouble, trouble
And the saddest fear
Comes creeping in
That you never loved me
Or her, or anyone, or anything, yeah!
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So, shame on me now
Flew me to places Id never been
Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places Id never been
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there, and I thought
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Loves a game, wanna play?
Ayy
New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Aint it funny? Rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, lets be friends
Im dyin to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend
So its gonna be forever
Or its gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when its over, mm
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
Theyll tell you Im insane
Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
Cause were young and were reckless
Well take this way too far
Itll leave you breathless, hmm
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
Theyll tell you Im insane
But Ive got a blank space, baby
And Ill write your name
Boys only want love if its torture
Dont say I didnt, say I didnt warn ya
Boys only want love if its torture
Dont say I didnt, say I didnt warn ya
I stay out too late
Got nothing in my brain
Thats what people say, mm, mm
Thats what people say, mm, mm
I go on too many dates
But I cant make them stay
At least thats what people say, mm, mm
Thats what people say, mm, mm
But I keep cruisin
Cant stop, wont stop movin
Its like I got this music in my mind
Saying its gonna be alright
Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, Im just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, Im just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I Shake it off, I shake it off
Hey, hey, hey
Just think while youve been getting down and out about the liars
And the dirty, dirty cheats of the world
You couldve been getting down
To this sick beat
My ex-man brought his new girlfriend
Shes like, Oh my God, but Im just gonna shake
And to the fella over there with the hella good hair
Why dont you come on over, baby?
We can shake, shake, shake
Yeah, oh, oh, oh
Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, Im just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I Shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, Im just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I Shake it off, I shake it off
I Shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
We could leave the Christmas lights up til January
This is our place, we make the rules
And theres a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear
Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close?
Forever and ever, ah
Ah, take me out, and take me home
Youre my, my, my, my lover
Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?
With every guitar string scar on my hand
I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover
My hearts been borrowed and yours has been blue
Alls well that ends well to end up with you
Swear to be over dramatic and true to my lover
And youll save all your dirtiest jokes for me
And at every table, Ill save you a seat, lover
Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close?
Forever and ever, ah
Take me out, and take me home 
Youre my, my, my, my
Oh, youre my, my, my, my
Darling, youre my, my, my, my lover
