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.
Everyone who is lonely
I've got a place for you
Where the music play-ay-ay-ay-ays
Till way past two
Come along now, let's go down to the scene
(Well, what's it like now)
Meet me down at the scene
(Well, tell me more, tell me more)
You'll live just like a queen
When you're down at the scene
There's no need to be fancy
No one there will stare
Dress in all the things you usually do
There's no need to care
Come along now, let's go down to the scene
(All right, all right)
Meet me down at the scene
(I'm comin', I'm comin')
You'll live just like a queen
When you're down at the scene
Everyone who is lonely
I've got a place for you
Where the music play-ay-ay-ay-ays
Till way past two
Come along now, let's go down to the scene
(I'm comin', I'm comin')
Meet me down at the scene
(All right, all right)
You'll live just like a queen
When you're down at the scene
When you're down at the scene
When you're down at the scene
I've got a place for you
Where the music play-ay-ay-ay-ays
Till way past two
Come along now, let's go down to the scene
(Well, what's it like now)
Meet me down at the scene
(Well, tell me more, tell me more)
You'll live just like a queen
When you're down at the scene
There's no need to be fancy
No one there will stare
Dress in all the things you usually do
There's no need to care
Come along now, let's go down to the scene
(All right, all right)
Meet me down at the scene
(I'm comin', I'm comin')
You'll live just like a queen
When you're down at the scene
Everyone who is lonely
I've got a place for you
Where the music play-ay-ay-ay-ays
Till way past two
Come along now, let's go down to the scene
(I'm comin', I'm comin')
Meet me down at the scene
(All right, all right)
You'll live just like a queen
When you're down at the scene
When you're down at the scene
When you're down at the scene
