Sould've Said No
Taylor Swift Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's strange to think the songs we used to sing
The smiles, the flowers, everything is gone
Yesterday I found out about you
Even now just looking at you
Feels wrong
You say that you'd take it all back
Given one chance, it was a moment of weakness
And you said, "Yes"

You should've said, "No"
You should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You should've known that word 'bout what you did with her
Get back to me (get back to me)
And I should've been there
In the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself, "Why?"
You shouldn't be beggin' for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said, "No"
Baby, and you might still have me

You can see that I've been cryin'
Baby, you know all the right things
To say
But do you honestly expect me to believe
We could ever be the same?
You say that the past is the past
You need one chance, it was a moment of weakness
And you said, "Yes"

You should've said, "No"
You should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You should've known that word 'bout what you did with her




Get back to me (get back to me)
And I should've been there
In the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself, "Why?"
You shouldn't be beggin' for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said, "No"
Baby, and you might still have me, oh-whoa

I can't resist
Before you go, tell me this
Was it worth it?
Was she worth this?

No, no, no, no, no, no

You should've said, "No"
You should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You should've known that word 'bout what you did with her
Get back to me (get back to me)
And I should've been there
In the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself, "Why?"
You shouldn't be beggin' for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said, "No"
Baby, and you might still have me

Overall Meaning

In Taylor Swift's song Should've Said No, the lyrics seem to be about a past partner who has cheated on her with another woman. Taylor sings about how it's strange to think about the songs they used to sing and the happy moments they shared, now that everything has crumbled. She reveals that she found out about the cheating and even looking at her partner feels wrong. Her partner tries to explain that it was just a moment of weakness and that they would take everything back if given the chance. However, Taylor believes that her partner should have said "no" to the other woman and come back home to her.


The chorus repeats the phrase "you should've said no" multiple times, which underscores Taylor's sentiment that her partner should have known better. She emphasizes that if her partner had made a different choice, they could still be together. Taylor explains that she has been crying and despite her partner saying all the right things, she cannot believe that they could be the same as they were before. The song ends with Taylor asking if the affair was worth it and if the other woman was worth losing her.


Overall, Should've Said No deals with themes of infidelity and regret. Taylor expresses her hurt and betrayal and emphasizes that her partner should have made better choices. The chorus is particularly powerful, repeating the phrase "you should've said no" as a reminder of what could have been.

Lyrics:
It's strange to think the songs we used to sing
The smiles, the flowers, everything: is gone
Yesterday I found out about you
Even now just looking at you: feels wrong
You say that you'd take it all back, given one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes

You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've know that word, bout what you did with her
Would get back to me
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me

You can see that I've been crying
And baby you know all the right things: to say
But do you honestly expect me to believe
We could ever be the same
You say that the past is the past, you need one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes

You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've know that word, bout what you did with her
Would get back to me
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me

I can't resist, before you go, tell me this
Was it worth it
Was she worth this

No, no no no

You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've know that word, bout what you did with her
Would get back to me
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me

আমরা যে গানগুলি গাইতাম তা ভাবতেও অদ্ভুত লাগে
হাসি, ফুল, সবই চলে গেছে
গতকাল আমি আপনার সম্পর্কে জানতে পেরেছি
এমনকি এখন শুধু আপনার দিকে তাকিয়ে: ভুল মনে হয়
আপনি বলুন যে আপনি সব ফিরিয়ে নেবেন, একটি সুযোগ দিলে
এটি দুর্বলতার একটি মুহূর্ত ছিল এবং আপনি হ্যাঁ বলেছিলেন

তোমার না বলা উচিত ছিল, তোমার বাড়ি যাওয়া উচিত ছিল
সবকিছু ছেড়ে দেওয়ার আগে আপনার দুবার চিন্তা করা উচিত ছিল
আপনি তার সাথে কি করেছেন সে সম্পর্কে আপনার সেই শব্দটি জানা উচিত ছিল
আমাকে ফিরে পেতে হবে
এবং আমার সেখানে থাকা উচিত ছিল, আপনার মনের পিছনে
আমি কেন নিজেকে জিজ্ঞাসা করা উচিত নয়
তোমার আমার পায়ে ক্ষমা ভিক্ষা করা উচিত নয়
তোমার বলা উচিত ছিল না, বাবু এবং তুমি হয়তো এখনও আমাকে পেয়েছ

আপনি দেখতে পাচ্ছেন যে আমি কাঁদছি
এবং baby আপনি সব সঠিক জিনিস জানেন: বলতে
কিন্তু আপনি কি সৎভাবে আশা করেন যে আমি বিশ্বাস করি
আমরা কখনই এক হতে পারিনি
আপনি বলছেন যে অতীত অতীত, আপনার একটি সুযোগ দরকার
এটি দুর্বলতার একটি মুহূর্ত ছিল এবং আপনি হ্যাঁ বলেছিলেন

তোমার না বলা উচিত ছিল, তোমার বাড়ি যাওয়া উচিত ছিল
সবকিছু ছেড়ে দেওয়ার আগে আপনার দুবার চিন্তা করা উচিত ছিল
আপনি তার সাথে কি করেছেন সে সম্পর্কে আপনার সেই শব্দটি জানা উচিত ছিল
আমাকে ফিরে পেতে হবে
এবং আমার সেখানে থাকা উচিত ছিল, আপনার মনের পিছনে
আমি কেন নিজেকে জিজ্ঞাসা করা উচিত নয়
তোমার আমার পায়ে ক্ষমা ভিক্ষা করা উচিত নয়
তোমার বলা উচিত ছিল না, বাবু এবং তুমি হয়তো এখনও আমাকে পেয়েছ

আমি বাধা দিতে পারছি না, যাওয়ার আগে আমাকে এটা বল
এটা মূল্য ছিল
তিনি এই মূল্য ছিল

না না না না

তোমার না বলা উচিত ছিল, তোমার বাড়ি যাওয়া উচিত ছিল
সবকিছু ছেড়ে দেওয়ার আগে আপনার দুবার চিন্তা করা উচিত ছিল
আপনি তার সাথে কি করেছেন সে সম্পর্কে আপনার সেই শব্দটি জানা উচিত ছিল
আমাকে ফিরে পেতে হবে
এবং আমার সেখানে থাকা উচিত ছিল, আপনার মনের পিছনে
আমি কেন নিজেকে জিজ্ঞাসা করা উচিত নয়
তোমার আমার পায়ে ক্ষমা ভিক্ষা করা উচিত নয়
তোমার বলা উচিত ছিল না, baby এবং তুমি হয়তো এখনও আমাকে পেয়েছ
