Zack Kouns Rewrites Taylor Swift Lyrics (August 2015)
by Zack Kouns
Zack Kouns:
Chorus:
Romeo's a fucking philanderer
He'd stick his dick in a beehive if he thought there was some honey in it
but I'd beg and grovel like a dog at his feet
If I thought it would make him love me just a little bit
I fell for him when I was just a girl
I wasn't a week over 15 years old
He was like one of those frauds in a fairy tale
So brash, so brazen, so bold
Gradually, he began controlling my life
Alienated me from my home and family
I longed for nothing but his long, slow kiss
and his hands all over my body
Years went by and he began to fuck around
Still I'd follow him like a lost little child
Come home drunk and lie through his teeth
Still, I'd love him with a love desperate and wild
Chorus
When I got pregnant he wouldn't touch me
And there were nights he wouldn't even come home
I had a miscarriage and lost lots of blood
Tried to call him but he wouldn't answer his phone
Ambulance came and took me to the hospital
Gave me a transfusion on the way there
He showed up smelling like bourbon and sex
Stumbled past my bed and passed out in a chair
Chorus
Taylor Swift:
We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello, "
Little did I know...
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said...
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".
So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.
Oh, oh.
'Cause you were Romeo - I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
But you were everything to me,
I was begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said...
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".
Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult but it's real.
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".
Oh, oh.
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said...
Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think.
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said...
Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.
I love you, and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad - go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
