Taylor Swift’s Cardigan became quite popular soon after its release. Read full lyrics below.
Verse 1
- Vintage tee, brand new phone
- High heels on cobblestones
- When you are young, they assume you know nothing
- Sequin smile, black lipstick
- Sensual politics
- When you are young, they assume you know nothing

Chorus
- But I knew you
- Dancin’ in your Levi’s
- Drunk under a streetlight, I
- I knew you
- Hand under my sweatshirt
- Baby, kiss it better, I
Refrain
- And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
- Under someone’s bed
- You put me on and said I was your favorite
Verse 2
- A friend to all is a friend to none
- Chase two girls, lose the one
- When you are young, they assume you know nothing
Chorus
- But I knew you
- Playing hide-and-seek and
- Giving me your weekends, I
- I knew you
- Your heartbeat on the High Line
- Once in twenty lifetimes, I
Refrain
- And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
- Under someone’s bed
- You put me on and said I was your favorite
Bridge
- To kiss in cars and downtown bars
- Was all we needed
- You drew stars around my scars
- But now I’m bleedin’
Chorus
- ‘Cause I knew you
- Steppin’ on the last train
- Marked me like a bloodstain, I
- I knew you
- Tried to change the ending
- Peter losing Wendy, I
- I knew you
- Leavin’ like a father
- Running like water, I
- And when you are young, they assume you know nothing
Verse 3
- But I knew you’d linger like a tattoo kiss
- I knew you’d haunt all of my what-ifs
- The smell of smoke would hang around this long
- ‘Cause I knew everything when I was young
- I knew I’d curse you for the longest time
- Chasin’ shadows in the grocery line
- I knew you’d miss me once the thrill expired
- And you’d be standin’ in my front porch light
- And I knew you’d come back to me
- You’d come back to me
- And you’d come back to me
- And you’d come back
Refrain
- And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
- Under someone’s bed
- You put me on and said I was your favorite
