[Verse 1: Taylor Swift]
And the tennis court was covered up
With some tent-like thing
And you asked me to dance
But I said, "Dancin' is a dangerous game"
Oh, I thought
This is gonna be one of those things
Now I know
I'm never gonna love again
[Refrain: Taylor Swift & Marcus Mumford]
*I've got some tricks up my sleeve*
*Takes one to know one*
You're a cowboy like me
[Verse 2: Marcus Mumford]
*Never wanted love*
*Just a fancy car*
*Now I'm waiting by the phone*
*Like I'm sitting in an airport bar*
[Refrain: Marcus Mumford & Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift]
*You had some tricks up your sleeve*
*Takes one to know one*
You're a cowboy like me
[Chorus: Taylor Swift & Marcus Mumford]
*Perched in the dark*
*Tellin' all the rich folks anything they wanna hear*
*Like it could be love*
*I could be the way forward*
*Only if they pay for it*
*You're a bandit like me*
*Eyes full of stars*
*Hustling for the good life, never thought I'd meet you here*
*It could be love*
*We could be the way forward*
*And I know I'll pay for it*
[Chorus: Taylor Swift & Marcus Mumford, Taylor Swift]
*Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh*
You're a cowboy like me
*Perched in the dark*
*Tellin' all the rich folks anything they wanna hear*
*Like it could be love*
*I could be the way forward*
*Only if they pay for it*
*You're a bandit like me*
*Eyes full of stars*
*Hustlin' for the good life, never thought I'd meet you here*
*It could be love*
*We could be the way forward*
*And I know I'll pay for it*
[Bridge: Taylor Swift, Marcus Mumford]
And the skeletons in both our closets
Plotted hard to fuck this up
And the old men that I've swindled
Really did believe I was the one
*And the ladies lunchin' have their stories about*
*When you passed through town*
*And that was all before I locked it down*
[Verse 3: Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift & Marcus Mumford]
Now you hang from my lips
Like the Gardens of Babylon
With your boots beneath my bed
*Forever is the sweetest con*
[Refrain: Taylor Swift & Marcus Mumford, Taylor Swift]
*I've had some tricks up my sleeve*
*Takes one to know one*
You're a cowboy like me
[Outro: Taylor Swift & Marcus Mumford, Taylor Swift]
*And I'm never gonna love again*
*And I'm never gonna love again*
Oh, oh
*I'm never gonna love again*
