We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together

Taylor Swift · NRJ Music Awards 2013 [2012]

I remember when we broke up the first time

Saying this is it, I've had enough, 'cause like

We haven't seen each other in a month

When you, said you needed space, what?

Then you come around again and say

Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change

Trust me, remember how that lasted for a day

I say, I hate you, we break up, you call me, I love you



Oooh we called if off again last night

But oooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you



We are never ever ever getting back together

We are never ever ever getting back together

You go talk to your friends

Talk to my friends

Talk to me

But we are never ever ever ever getting back together



Like ever...



I'm really gonna miss you picking fights

And me, falling for a screaming that I'm right

And you, will hide away and find your piece of mine

with some indie record that's much cooler than mine



Oooh you called me off again tonight

But oooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you



We are never ever ever getting back together

We are never ever ever getting back together

You go talk to your friends

Talk to my friends

Talk to me (talk to me)

But we are never ever ever ever getting back together



Oooh (yeah) x3



I used to think

that we were forever, ever

And I used to say

Never say never



(talking)

Uuh so he calls me up and he's like

'I still to love you' and I'm like..

I'm just.. I mean like this is exhausting you know

We are never getting back together

Like ever



No, we are never ever ever getting back together

We are never ever ever getting back together

You go talk to your friends

Talk to my friends

Talk to me

But we are never ever ever ever getting back together



We oooh (getting back together)

We oooh (getting back together)

You go talk to your friends

Talk to my friends

Talk to me (talk to me)

But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
