[Verse 1] 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 didn't care, and I guess I liked that And when I fell hard, you took a step back Without me, without me, without me [Pre-Chorus] And he's long gone, when he's next to me And I realize the blame is on me [Chorus] 'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in So, shame on me now Flew me to places I'd 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 I'd never been Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground Oh, oh-oh Trouble, trouble, trouble Oh, oh-oh Trouble, trouble, trouble [Verse 2] No apologies, he'll never see you cry Pretend he doesn't know That he's the reason why You're drowning, you're drowning You're drowning And I heard you moved on From whispers on the street A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be And now I see, now I see Now I see [Pre-Chorus] He was long gone when he met me And I realize the joke is on me, hey! [Chorus] I knew you were trouble when you walked in (oh) So, shame on me now Flew me to places I'd 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 I'd never been (yeah) Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground Oh, oh-oh (yeah) Trouble, trouble, trouble Oh, oh-oh Trouble, trouble, trouble [Bridge] And the saddest fear Comes creeping in That you never loved me Or her, or anyone, or anything, yeah! [Chorus] I knew you were trouble when you walked in So, shame on me now Flew me to places I'd never been (never been) 'Til you put me down, oh I knew you were trouble when you walked in (Knew it right there) So, shame on me now (knew it right there) Flew me to places I'd never been (ooh) Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground Oh, oh-oh Trouble, trouble, trouble (oh) Oh, oh-oh Trouble, trouble, trouble [Outro] I knew you were trouble when you walked in Trouble, trouble, trouble I knew you were trouble when you walked in Trouble, trouble, trouble vNoKguSdy4Y How did this song hold up for you over the years? Is it a smash?

I thought both those songs were great but they didn’t make me love Taylor and I think it is similar with this song - I liked it as a discrete song of hers but I wasn’t running out to buy the album. I can’t deny it was the 1989 era that turned me into a fully fledged fan. In saying that, I listened to this song a lot back in the day and I still think it’s great now. It has a great sassy attitude to it and one that I think encapsulates Taylor well. This post has been edited by London81: 7th September 2020, 11:17 PM
