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
