Lyrics of Bad Blood by Taylor Swift

chorus

′Cause, baby, now we got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look what you've done

′Cause baby, now we got bad blood (hey!)

Now we got problems

And I don't think we can solve 'em

You made a really deep cut

And, baby, now we got bad blood (hey!)

verse

Did you have to do this?

I was thinking that you could be trusted

Did you have to ruin

What was shiny? Now it′s all rusted

Did you have to hit me

Where I′m weak? Baby, I couldn't breathe

And rub it in so deep

Salt in the wound like you′re laughing right at me

pre-chorus

Oh, it's so sad to think about the good times

You and I

chorus

′Cause, baby, now we got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look what you've done

′Cause baby, now we got bad blood (hey!)

Now we got problems

And I don't think we can solve 'em

You made a really deep cut

And, baby, now we got bad blood (hey!)

verse

Did you think we′d be fine?

Still got scars on my back from your knife

So don′t think it's in the past

These kind of wounds, they last and they last

Now did you think it all through?

All these things will catch up to you

And time can heal, but this won′t

So, if you're coming my way, just don′t

pre-chorus

Oh, it's so sad to think about the good times

You and I

chorus

′Cause, baby, now we got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look what you've done

'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood (hey!)

Now we got problems

And I don′t think we can solve ′em

You made a really deep cut

And, baby, now we got bad blood (hey!)

bridge

Band-aids don't fix bullet holes

You say sorry just for show

If you live like that, you live with ghosts (ghosts)

Band-aids don′t fix bullet holes (hey!)

You say sorry just for show (hey!)

If you live like that, you live with ghosts (hey!)

Hm, if you love like that, blood runs cold

chorus

'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look what you′ve done

'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood (hey!)

Now we got problems

And I don′t think we can solve 'em (think we can solve 'em)

You made a really deep cut

And, baby, now we got bad blood (hey!)

′Cause, baby, now we got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look what you′ve done (look what you've done)

′Cause baby, now we got bad blood (hey!)

Now we got problems

And I don't think we can solve ′em

You made a really deep cut

And, baby, now we got bad blood (hey!)
