Bejeweled
Taylor Swift Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Didn't notice you walking all over my peace of mind
In the shoes I gave you as a present
Puttin' someone first only works when you're in their top five
And by the way, I'm going out tonight
Best believe I'm still bejeweled
When I walk in the roomI can still make the whole place shimmer
And when I meet the band
They ask, "Do you have a man?"
I can still say, "I don't remember"
Familiarity breeds contempt
Don't put me in the basement
When I want the penthouse of your heart
Diamonds in my eyes
I polish up real, I polish up real nice
Nice
Baby boy, I think I've been too good of a girl (too good of a girl)
Did all the extra credit, then got graded on a curve
I think it's time to teach some lessons
I made you my world (huh), have you heard? (Huh)
I can reclaim the land
And I miss you (I miss you)
But I miss sparkling (ah, hey)
Best believe I'm still bejeweled
When I walk in the room
I can still make the whole place shimmer
And when I meet the band
They ask, "Do you have a man?"
I can still say, "I don't remember"
Don't put me in the basement
When I want the penthouse of your heart
Diamonds in my eyes
I polish up real, I polish up real nice
Nice
Sapphire tears on my face
Sadness became my whole sky
But some guy said my aura's moonstone
Just 'cause he was high
And we're dancin' all night
And you can try to change my mind
But you might have to wait in line
What's a girl gonna do?
A diamond's gotta shine
Best believe I'm still bejeweled
When I walk in the room
I can still make the whole place shimmer (shimmer)
And when I meet the band
They ask, "Do you have a man?"
I can still say, "I don't remember"
Familiarity breeds contempt
Don't put me in the basement
When I want the penthouse of your heart
Diamonds in my eyes
I polish up real (nice), I polish up real nice
And we're dancin' all night
And you can try to change my mind
But you might have to wait in line
What's a girl gonna do? What's a girl gonna do?
I polish up nice
Best believe I'm still bejeweled
When I walk in the room
I can still make the whole place shimmer
In this song, Taylor Swift seems to be addressing a lover who has taken her for granted and failed to appreciate her. She expresses her dissatisfaction with the way she has been treated, pointing out that she has been too kind and understanding, allowing the person to walk all over her peace of mind. Taylor regrets focusing too much on this person, and suggests that it's time for some lessons to be taught. She says that putting someone first only works when they are also making her their priority. She acknowledges that missing the person is not enough, and she needs to reclaim her power and her life.
The lyrics then transition into Taylor describing the power she still holds. She says that she can still make the whole room shimmer when she walks in, and even the band asks if she has a man. Despite the familiarity, she warns against being put in the basement when she wants the penthouse of the person's heart. This could be a metaphor for how a relationship should treat each other equally or it could be interpreted as Taylor still wants the person but wants to be treated better in their relationship. She describes herself as having diamonds in her eyes, meaning that she is still valuable and full of light, and she can polish up nicely.
The song ends with Taylor talking about dancing all night and how people may try to change her mind, but they'll have to wait in line. She asks what a girl is going to do, meaning that she is uncertain what her next step is but knows that she wants to be treated better. She once again reminds us that she polishes up nicely and can still make the whole place shimmer.

Solving fractions, it's a blast,
Let's dive in and have a blast,
With Keep, Change, and Flip, we'll divide,
Simplifying fractions, side by side.

Oh, fraction magic, it's so grand,
Learning math, hand in hand,

With a smile and satisfaction.

Butterfly method, cross multiply,
Adding fractions, oh so sly,
Finding LCD, we'll add and subtract,
With precision, there's no lack.

Oh, fraction magic, it's so grand,
Learning math, hand in hand,
Together we'll conquer every fraction,
With a smile and satisfaction.

Numerator and denominator, oh my,
Cross cancellation, like a barbecue,
Multiplying fractions, we'll do.

Oh, fraction magic, it's so grand,

Together we'll conquer every fraction,
With a smile and satisfaction.

In the world of math, we'll never fail.

Together we'll conquer every fraction,
With a smile and satisfaction.

With fraction magic, we'll find the solutions,
In the realm of math, we'll always strive,
With joy and confidence, we'll thrive.
