  • Elevator buttons and morning air
    Strangers' silence makes me want to take the stairs
    If you were here, we'd laugh about their vacant stares
    But right now, my time is theirs
    Seems like there's always someone who disapproves
    They'll judge it like they know about me and you
    And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do
    The jury's out, but my choice is you

    So don't you worry your pretty little mind
    People throw rocks at things that shine
    And life makes love look hard
    The stakes are high, the water's rough
    But this love is ours

    You never know what people have up their sleeves
    Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me
    Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles
    But I don't care, 'cause right now, you're mine

    And you'll say
    Don't you worry your pretty little mind
    People throw rocks at things that shine
    And life makes love look hard
    The stakes are high, the water's rough
    But this love is ours

    And it's not theirs to speculate if it's wrong and
    Your hands are tough, but they are where mine belong and
    I'll fight their doubt and give you faith
    With this song for you

    'Cause I love the gap between your teeth
    And I love the riddles that you speak
    And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos
    Will be ignored
    'Cause my heart is yours

    So don't you worry your pretty little mind
    People throw rocks at things that shine
    And life makes love look hard
    Don't you worry your pretty little mind
    People throw rocks at things that shine
    But they can't take what's ours
    They can't take what's ours

    The stakes are high, the water's rough
    But this love is ours Writer/s: Taylor Swift

  • Karen from Manchester, NhAs a former cubicle-rat, this video brings back memories! I especially love the whole bit with the copier: "Out of paper"..."Out of toner"...out of machine! A side note: that gorgeous kitten of Taylor's is a Scottish Fold.
