[Verse 2]
I just wanna make sure
You understand perfectly
You're the kind of man who makes me sad
While she waits up
You chase down the newest thing
And take for granted what you have

[Pre-Chorus]
And it would be a fine proposition
If I was a stupid girl
And, yeah, I might go with it
If I hadn’t once been just like her


[Chorus]
So don’t look at me, you got a girl at home
And everybody knows that, everybody knows that, ah-ah
Don't look at me, you got a girl at home
And everybody knows that, everybody knows that
I see you turn off your phone
And now you’ve got me alone, and I say
Don't look at me, you got a girl at home
And everybody knows that, everybody knows that


[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh
Oh-oh

About

Genius Annotation

In this version of “Girl At Home,” Taylor has changed the entire instrumentation and production of the song. The song has a more upbeat electro-pop sound, similar to her pop songs on 1989, most notably “New Romantics.” This switch of sound consolidates her decision to switch to more pop during her Red era. She also augmented her vocals, while accelerating the tempo to a faster pace than one seen in the other (stolen) version.

This is possibly the version Taylor wanted for the song originally, but was declined by her label at the time. Now that she is able to, she reverted it to the way she envisioned it.

What did Taylor Swift say about "Girl At Home (Taylor's Version)"?
Genius Answer

I wrote the song “Girl At Home” about a guy who I knew had a girlfriend and I thought it was kind of gross that he was hitting on me, so I just kind of put myself in her position and thought about the fact that, if it had been years ago, I would have been flattered and, “Oh, wow, somebody’s flirting with me,” and then you get cheated on once or twice and you’re like, “Stop it! You have a girlfriend!” I guess that song was my response to some lessons I’ve learned in the past.
