Gorgeous
Taylor Swift Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Gorgeous)

You should take it as a compliment
That I got drunk and made fun of the way you talk
You should think about the consequence
Of your magnetic field being a little too strong
And I got a boyfriend, he's older than us
He's in the club doing, I don't know what
You're so cool, it makes me hate you so much (I hate you so much)

Whisky on ice, Sunset and Vine
You've ruined my life, by not being mine

You're so gorgeous
I can't say anything to your face
'Cause look at your face (gorgeous)
And I'm so furious
At you for making me feel this way
But what can I say?
You're gorgeous

You should take it as a compliment
That I'm talking to everyone here but you (but you, but you)
And you should think about the consequence
Of you touching my hand in the darkened room (dark room, dark room)
If you've got a girlfriend, I'm jealous of her
But if you're single that's honestly worse
'Cause you're so gorgeous it actually hurts
(Honey, it hurts)

Ocean blue eyes looking in mine
I feel like I might sink and drown and die

You're so gorgeous
I can't say anything to your face (to your face)
'Cause look at your face (look at your face)
And I'm so furious
At you for making me feel this way (this way)
But what can I say?
You're gorgeous

You make me so happy, it turns back to sad, yeah
There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have
You are so gorgeous it makes me so mad (mmh)
You make me so happy, it turns back to sad, yeah
There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have and
Guess I'll just stumble on home to my cats (yeugh)
Alone, unless you wanna come along (oh)

You're so gorgeous
I can't say anything to your face (to your face)
'Cause look at your face (look at your face, gorgeous)
And I'm so furious (I'm so furious)
At you for making me feel this way (feel this way)
But what can I say? (I say)
You're gorgeous

You make me so happy, it turns back to sad, yeah
There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have and
You are so gorgeous it makes me so mad (mmh)
You're gorgeous
You make me so happy, it turns back to sad, yeah (it turns back so sad)
There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have (what I can have)




You are so gorgeous it makes me so mad (mmh)
You're gorgeous

Overall Meaning

The song "Gorgeous" by Taylor Swift talks about the singer's infatuation with someone she finds attractive. The lyrics suggest that the singer got drunk and made fun of this person's manner of speaking, but still regards them as someone with a magnetic personality, which is perhaps the reason she hates him so much. The singer is in a relationship, but there seems to be an intense attraction to the person she finds gorgeous. The lyrics show that the singer is angry and frustrated at herself for feeling this attraction, which has made her happy and sad simultaneously.


The song talks about the scenario where the singer is in the same party as this individual, and although she is talking to others, her attention is solely on him. She can't bring herself to tell him how attractive she finds him even when he's present. It is said that if he had a girlfriend, she would be jealous of her, but if he were single, it would hurt her more. The ocean-blue eyes of the individual in question have a profound impact on the singer, leaving her completely smitten.

You should take it as a compliment That I got drunk and made fun of the way you talk
You should feel flattered that I have chosen to pay attention to you, even if it was under the influence of alcohol, and may have made fun of the way you talk.


You should think about the consequence Of your magnetic field being a little too strong
You should be aware that your attraction is so great that it can be dangerous for others, especially those who are drawn to you.

I have a boyfriend who is older than you and me, but you're so attractive and confident that I can't help but dislike you for it.


Whisky on ice, Sunset and Vine You've ruined my life, by not being mine
I associate the image of whisky on ice, at the Sunset and Vine location, with feelings of desperation and loss, because you're not mine and it feels like my life has changed for the worse because of it.


You're so gorgeous I can't say anything to your face 'Cause look at your face And I'm so furious At you for making me feel this way But, what can I say? You're gorgeous
You are so undeniably beautiful that I'm lost for words, and yet also frustrated that you have such a hold over me, but ultimately it's just a fact that you're gorgeous.


You should take it as a compliment That I'm talking to everyone here but you (but you, but you) And you should think about the consequence Of you touching my hand in the darkened room (dark room, dark room)
I'm trying to get your attention by talking to everyone else except you, and you should consider what might happen if you were to touch my hand in a dark room, which would be a sign that you're interested in me.


If you've got a girlfriend, I'm jealous of her But if you're single that's honestly worse 'Cause you're so gorgeous it actually hurts (Honey, it hurts)
If you have a girlfriend, I envy her because she has what I want, but if you're single, it's almost worse because your immense beauty is painful to look at, and it hurts me to feel this way.


Ocean blue eyes looking in mine I feel like I might sink and drown and die
Your piercing blue eyes are like the ocean, and when you look at me I feel like I'm drowning and dying, unable to resist your allure.


You make me so happy, it turns back to sad, yeah There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have You are so gorgeous it makes me so mad You make me so happy, it turns back to sad, yeah There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have Guess I'll just stumble on home to my cats Alone, unless you wanna come along, oh
You bring me so much joy that it turns into sadness because I can't have you, and it's frustrating to want something I can't have. Your beauty is so stunning that it makes me angry, but I'll just go home alone to my cats unless you want to accompany me.


You're so gorgeous I can't say anything to your face (to your face) 'Cause look at your face (look at your face) And I'm so furious (I'm so furious) At you for making me feel this way (feel this way) But what can I say? (I say) You're gorgeous
You're so beautiful that I'm tongue-tied whenever I'm around you and I'm angry that I feel this way, but ultimately there's nothing I can do about it because you're gorgeous.
