  • What did you think I'd say to that?
    Does a scorpion sting when fighting back?
    They strike to kill and you know I will
    You know I will
    What do you sing on your drive home?
    Do you see my face in the neighbor's lawn?
    Does she smile?
    Or does she mouth, "Fuck you forever"?

    Every time you call me crazy
    I get more crazy
    What about that?
    And when you say I seem angry
    I get more angry

    And there's nothin' like a mad woman
    What a shame she went mad
    No one likes a mad woman
    You made her like that
    And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out
    And you find something to wrap your noose around
    And there's nothin' like a mad woman

    Now I breathe flames each time I talk
    My cannons all firin' at your yacht
    They say, "Move on", but you know, I won't
    And women like hunting witches, too
    Doing your dirtiest work for you
    It's obvious that wanting me dead
    Has really brought you two together

    Every time you call me crazy
    I get more crazy
    What about that?
    And when you say I seem angry
    I get more angry

    And there's nothin' like a mad woman
    What a shame she went mad
    No one likes a mad woman
    You made her like that
    And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out
    And you find something to wrap your noose around
    And there's nothin' like a mad woman

    I'm takin' my time
    Takin' my time
    'Cause you took everything from me
    Watchin' you climb
    Watchin' you climb
    Over people like me
    The master of spin
    Has a couple side flings
    Good wives always know
    She should be mad
    Should be scathing like me

    But no one likes a mad woman
    What a shame she went mad
    You made her like that Writer/s: Aaron Brooking Dessner, Taylor A. Swift
