Hey
Strange voice on the telephone
Tellin' me I better leave you 'lone
Why won't somebody say what's goin' on
Oh, oh, I think I've been through this before

Looks like I've been fooled again
Looks like I'm the fool again
I don't like it, I don't like it

You never said you had no longer to
I need to know 'bout it if you do
Ah two is one, I might as well be three
It's good to see you think so much of me

Looks like I've been fooled again
Looks like I'm the fool again
I don't like it, I don't like it
No

Look out

You never said you had no longer to
I need to know 'bout it if you do
If two is one, I might as well be three
It's good to see you think so much of me

It's like I'm the fool again
Looks like I'm the fool again
I don't like it, I don't like it
I don't like it, I don't like it
Ow

Look out
I don't like it, I don't like it
Look out
Uh, I don't, I don't like you
Eh, gotcha getcha getcha look out
Say, I don't like it
I don't, I don't, I don't

    Tom calls up his girlfriend. Some dude answers the phone and tells Tom to leave his gf along. Tom is a bit taken aback by this turn of events. He wasn't expecting this at all. However, this isn't the first time something like this has happened to Tom. Yet another cheating woman to add to the list. "You never said you had no number two." She never told him she WASN'T seeing anybody else now that he is thinking about it. Well after the phone incident, Tom wants answers. If two people make one than he is starting to think he is the third wheel in this relationship. And "It's good to see you think so much of me" is Tom sarcasticly saying thanks for giving him a fair warning on the situation-NOT.

    I think that's "You never said you had no number two".

Blank Space
Taylor Swift
This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her. "I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this. "You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially. With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media. It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame. I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships. It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
