    LYRICS:
    You, with your words like knives
    And swords and weapons that you use against me
    You, have knocked me off my feet again,
    Got me feeling like a nothing
    You, with your voice like nails
    On a chalk board, calling me out when I'm wounded
    You, picking on the weaker man
    You can take me down
    With just one single blow
    But you don't know what you don't know
    Someday I'll be living in a big old city
    And all you're ever gonna be is mean
    Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
    And all you're ever gonna be is mean
    Why you gotta be so mean?
    You, with your switching sides
    And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
    You have pointed out my flaws again
    As if I don't already see them
    I walk with my head down,
    Try to block you out 'cause I never impress you
    I just want to feel okay again
    I bet you got pushed around
    Somebody made you cold but the cycle ends right now
    'Cause you can't lead me down that road
    And you don't know what you don't know
    Someday I'll be living in a big old city
    And all you're ever gonna be is mean
    Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
    And all you're ever gonna be is mean
    Why you gotta be so mean?
    And I can see you years from now in a bar
    Talking over a football game
    With that same big loud opinion
    But nobody's listening, washed up and ranting
    About the same old bitter things
    Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
    But all you are is mean
    All you are is mean and a liar and pathetic
    And alone in life and mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
    But someday I'll be living in a big old city
    And all you're ever gonna be is mean
    Yeah someday I'll be big enough
    So you can't hit me
    And all you're ever gonna be is mean
    Why you gotta be so (mean)
    Someday I'll be living in a big old city
    (Why you gotta be so mean)
    And all you're ever gonna be is mean
    (Why you gotta be so mean)
    Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
    (Why you gotta be so mean)
    And all you're ever gonna be is mean
    Why you gotta be so mean?

    One of the best male cover of this song for me. His voice is soothing and lovely.

  • @MrQuaker122
    @MrQuaker122 Před 3 lety +5

    I love the way you sang this and gave it your own twist! Taylor sang this as a an upbeat, confident, defiant song, and I love how you gave this a soulful ballad quality. Beautiful.

  • @oidualclaudi0
    @oidualclaudi0 Před 4 lety +15

    Your voice always fits so well in Taylor’s songs ☺️
    I hope you can do Innocent or Enchanted, it would be great!!

  • @snehapradhan5591

    I always thought this song had so simple lyrics yet it was so effective. This was one of my favorite songs when I was young n someone said something mean to me and I would just repeat the line in my head, "Someday I'll be living in a big old city and all you're ever gonna be is mean." So, thank you, Josh, forputting so much emotion while singing a song which most dismiss as being childish but it really meant a lot to me.

    I love you and your incredibly soothing, angelical voice, but (and please, take this as just a piece of advice) i think you would benefit tremendously from adding a little bit more energy and excitement when performing this particular song. It's supposed to be uplifting and optimistic but you almost got me crying... LOL. I love you so much!

    This is my song and I'm not a huge fan of Taylor Swift. I'm from a small town and there were several people mostly coworkers who I knew who were pretty much stuck there because of poor choices they'd make. Whenever this song came on the radio I would say this is my song, and they would tell me I'll never get out. Two years this October. I moved to the city I wanted, pop 250,000 versus 750 in the village I was from. Some people don't want you to improve your life if its going to mean its going to be better then there's. moral is don't listen to what people say you can or cannot do. Only you can decide that.

    You have knocked me off my feet again
    Got me feeling like I'm nothing
    You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard

    You, pickin' on the weaker man
    Well, you can take me down
    With just one single blow
    But you don't know what you don't know
    Someday, I'll be living in a big old city
    And all you're ever gonna be is mean
