  • Baby love, I think I've been a little too kind
    Didn't notice you walking all over my peace of mind
    In the shoes I gave you as a present
    Puttin' someone first only works when you're in their top five
    And by the way, I'm going out tonight

    Best believe I'm still bejeweled
    When I walk in the room
    I can still make the whole place shimmer
    And when I meet the band
    They ask, "Do you have a man?"
    I can still say, "I don't remember"
    Familiarity breeds contempt
    Don't put me in the basement
    When I want the penthouse of your heart
    Diamonds in my eyes
    I polish up real, I polish up real nice

    Nice

    Baby boy, I think I've been too good of a girl (too good of a girl)
    Did all the extra credit, then got graded on a curve
    I think it's time to teach some lessons
    I made you my world (huh), have you heard? (Huh)
    I can reclaim the land
    And I miss you (I miss you)
    But I miss sparkling (ah, hey)

    Best believe I'm still bejeweled
    When I walk in the room
    I can still make the whole place shimmer
    And when I meet the band
    They ask, "Do you have a man?"
    I can still say, "I don't remember"
    Familiarity breeds contempt
    Don't put me in the basement
    When I want the penthouse of your heart
    Diamonds in my eyes
    I polish up real, I polish up real nice

    Nice

    Sapphire tears on my face
    Sadness became my whole sky
    But some guy said my aura's moonstone
    Just 'cause he was high
    And we're dancin' all night
    And you can try to change my mind
    But you might have to wait in line
    What's a girl gonna do?
    A diamond's gotta shine

    Best believe I'm still bejeweled
    When I walk in the room
    I can still make the whole place shimmer (shimmer)
    And when I meet the band
    They ask, "Do you have a man?"
    I can still say, "I don't remember"
    Familiarity breeds contempt
    Don't put me in the basement
    When I want the penthouse of your heart
    Diamonds in my eyes
    I polish up real (nice), I polish up real nice

    And we're dancin' all night
    And you can try to change my mind
    But you might have to wait in line
    What's a girl gonna do? What's a girl gonna do?
    I polish up nice
    Best believe I'm still bejeweled
    When I walk in the room
    I can still make the whole place shimmer Writer/s: Jack Michael Antonoff, Taylor Alison Swift
