Taylor Swift’s Mean became quite popular soon after its release. Read full lyrics below
Verse 1
- You, with your words like knives
- And swords and weapons that you use against me
- You have knocked me off my feet again
- Got me feeling like I’m nothing
- You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
- Calling me out when I’m wounded
- You, picking on the weaker man

Pre-Chorus
- Well, you can take me down
- With just one single blow
- But you don’t know what you don’t know
Chorus
- Someday, I’ll be living in a big old city
- And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
- Someday, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me
- And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
- Why you gotta be so mean?
Verse 2
- You, with your switching sides
- And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
- You have pointed out my flaws again
- As if I don’t already see them
- I walk with my head down, trying to block you out
- ‘Cause I’ll never impress you
- I just wanna feel okay again
Pre-Chorus
- I bet you got pushed around
- Somebody made you cold
- But the cycle ends right now
- ‘Cause you can’t lead me down that road
- And you don’t know what you don’t know
Chorus
- Someday, I’ll be living in a big old city
- And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
- Someday, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me
- And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
- Why you gotta be so mean?
Bridge
- And I can see you years from now in a bar
- Talking over a football game
- With that same big loud opinion
- But nobody’s listening
- Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
- Drunk and grumbling on about how I can’t sing
- But all you are is mean
- All you are is mean
- And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life
- And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
Breakdown
- But someday, I’ll be living in a big old city
- And all you’re ever gonna be is mean, yeah
Chorus
- Someday, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me
- And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
- Why you gotta be so mean?
- Someday, I’ll be living in a big old city
- (Why you gotta be so mean?)
- And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
- (Why you gotta be so mean?)
- Someday, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me
- (Why you gotta be so mean?)
- And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
- Why you gotta be so mean?
