Taylor Swift - Love Story (Mad Lib)







We were both red when I first saw Matt.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I'm swimming there on a love in summer air.

See the car, see the book, the dinner boys.
See Matt make your way through the cow
and say hello;

Little did I know
That you were Jeffrey; you were throwing girls,
And my daddy said, 'Stay away from Justin.'
And I was crying on the sunglasses,
playing Justin, 'Please, don't go.''

And I said,
Justin, take me somewhere we can be cool.
I'll be shopping; all there's left to do is apologize.
You'll be the heart and I'll be the toe
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.''

So I giggle out to the garden to kiss Justin.
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew.
So close your eyes; escape this town for a little while.
'Cause you were Justin, I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said 'Stay away from Juliet,'
But Justin were everything to me; I was begging you, 'Please, don't go,''

And I said,
Justin, take me somewhere we can be sexy.
I'll be loving; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the foot and I'll be the stomach
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'

Matt save me - they're struggling' to tell me how to feel;
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be frustrated; we'll make it out of this elephant.
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.''

Oh, oh.

I got tired of dreaming,
sweating if you were ever fighting' around.
My faith in you was breathing
When I met Jeffrey on the outskirts of town,

And I warned,
Jeffrey save me - I've been sleeping so alone.
I keep yelling for you but you never come.
Is this in pillow head? I don't know what to punch'

Justin knelt to the ground and voted out a poster and said,
'Marry me, Ruthie - you'll never have to be sleepy.
I love Ms. Rosita Whitman and that's all I really know.
I talked to your butt- go pick out a gigantic dog;
It's a love food - baby just say yes'

Oh, oh. Oh, oh.

'Cause we were both seriously huge when I first farted you...

how not to embarass yourself in public...

Here are some grammatical and stylistic errors that managed to slip past the editors. We are exposed to an unprecedented amount of material through the media and as a result we tend to become desensitized. These are just a few examples of mistakes you can find simply by paying attention. All this should leave you wondering, "How much should I trust people who leave their modifiers dangling?"

The cause was due to numerous factors.
