1989

Midnight, you come and pick me up, no headlights

Long drive, could end in burnin’ flames or paradise

Fade into view, oh!

It’s been a while since I have even heard from you

I should just tell you to leave

Cos’ I know exactly where it leads

But I watch us go round and round each time

Cos’ the players gon’ play, play, play, play, play

And the haters gon’ hate, hate, hate, hate, hate

Baby, I’m just gon’ shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

I shake it off, I shake it off

Cos’, baby, now we got bad blood

U know it used to be mad luv

So take a look what you’ve done

Cos’, baby, now we got bad blood

Hey! Now we got problems

And I don’t think we can solve ‘em

U made a really deep cut

And, baby, now we got bad blood, hey!

Nice to meet u, where u been?

I could show u incredible things

Magic, madness, heaven, sin

Saw u there and I thought

Oh, my God, look at that face

U look like my next mistake

Luv’s a game, wanna play?

Cos’ the players gon’ play, play, play, play, play

And the haters gon’ hate, hate, hate, hate, hate

Baby, I’m just gon’ shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

I shake it off, I shake it off

Heart-breakers gon’ break, break, break, break, break

And the fakers gon’ fake, fake, fake, fake, fake

Baby, I’m just gon’ shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

I shake it off, I shake it off

Cos’, baby, now we got bad blood

U know it used to be mad luv

So take a look what you’ve done

Cos’, baby, now we got bad blood

Hey! Now we got problems

And I don’t think we can solve ‘em

U made a really deep cut

And, baby, now we got bad blood, hey!

So it’s gonna be foreva

Or it’s gonna go down in flames

You can tell me when it’s ova

If the high was worth the pain

Got a long list of ex-lovers

They’ll tell u I’m insane

Cos’ u know I luv the players

And u luv the game

Cos’ we’re young and we’re reckless

We’ll take this way too far

It’ll leave u breathless

Or with a nasty scar

Got a long list of ex-lovers

They’ll tell u I’m insane

But I’ve got a blank space, baby

And I’ll write ur name

Cos’, baby, now we got bad blood

U know it used to be mad luv

So take a look what you’ve done

Cos’, baby, now we got bad blood

Hey! Now we got problems

And I don’t think we can solve ‘em

U made a really deep cut

And, baby, now we got bad blood
