Taylor Swift 'Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?' Lyrics
The who’s who of who’s that is poised for the attack
But my bare hands paved their paths,
You don’t get to tell me about sad
If you wanted me dead you should’ve just said
Nothing makes me feel more alive
So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street,
Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream
"Who’s afraid of little old me?"
You should be

The scandal was contained,
The bullet had just grazed
At all costs keep your good name
You don’t get to tell me you feel bad
Is it a wonder I broke?
Let’s hear one more joke
Then we could all just laugh until I cry
So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street,
Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream
"Who’s afraid of little old me?"
I was tame, I was gentle till the circus life made me mean
Don’t you worry folks, we took out all her teeth
Who’s afraid of little old me?
Well you should be
You should be, you should be
You should be, you should be
You should be

So tell me everything is not about me, but what if it is?
Then say they didn’t do it to hurt me, but what if they did?
I wanna snarl and show you just how disturbed this has made me
You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me
So all you kids can sneak into my house with all the cobwebs
I’m always drunk on my own tears, isn’t that what they all said?
That I’ll sue you if you step on my lawn
That I’m fearsome, and I’m wretched and I’m wrong
Put narcotics into all of my songs
And that’s why you’re still singing along
So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street,
Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream
"Who’s afraid of little old me?"
I was tame, I was gentle till the circus life made me mean
Don’t you worry folks we took out all her teeth
Who’s afraid of little old me?
Well you should be
You should be, you should be
Cause you lured me and you hurt me and you taught me
You caged me and then you called me crazy
I am what I am 'cause you trained me
So who’s afraid of me?
Who’s afraid of little old me?
Who’s afraid of little old me?
