  • The who's who of "Who's that?" is poised for the attack
    But my bare hands paved their paths
    You don't get to tell me about sad

    If you wanted me dead, you should've just said
    Nothing makes me feel more alive

    So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street
    Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream
    "Who's afraid of little old me?"
    You should be

    The scandal was contained
    The bullet had just grazed
    At all costs, keep your good name
    You don't get to tell me you feel bad

    Is it a wonder I broke? Let's hear one more joke
    Then we could all just laugh until I cry

    So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street
    Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream
    "Who's afraid of little old me?"
    I was tame, I was gentle till the circus life made me mean
    "Don't you worry, folks, we took out all her teeth"
    Who's afraid of little old me?
    Well, you should be

    (You should be) you should be
    (You should be) you should be
    You should be (you should be)
    You should be (you should be)
    You should be

    So tell me everything is not about me
    But what if it is?
    Then say they didn't do it to hurt me
    But what if they did?

    I wanna snarl and show you just how disturbed this has made me
    You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me
    So all you kids can sneak into my house with all the cobwebs
    I'm always drunk on my own tears, isn't that what they all said?
    That I'll sue you if you step on my lawn
    That I'm fearsome and I'm wretched and I'm wrong
    Put narcotics into all of my songs
    And that's why you're still singing along

    So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street
    Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream
    "Who's afraid of little old me?"
    I was tame, I was gentle till the circus life made me mean
    "Don't you worry, folks, we took out all her teeth"
    Who's afraid of little old me?
    Well, you should be

    (You should be) you should be
    (You should be) you should be
    'Cause you lured me (you should be)
    And you hurt me (you should be)
    And you taught me

    You caged me and then you called me crazy
    I am what I am 'cause you trained me
    So who's afraid of me?
    Who's afraid of little old me?
    Who's afraid of little old me? Writer/s: Taylor Swift
