Better Than Revenge : Taylor Swift
The track was likely written about actress and alleged Joe Jonas-poacher Camilla Belle. About Belle (allegedly): “She’s an actress/But she’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress,” Swift meows. She sounds unsure what those things are, exactly, but that just makes it worse.
“Better Than Revenge,” the most breathlessly paced rocker on the album, which begins with the singer whispering “Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did,” then chiding a rival with the line, “I’m just another thing to roll your eyes at, honey… She should keep in mind that there is nothing I do better than revenge.”

Taylor Swift - Better Than Revenge Lyrics and Video
Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did
Ha, Time for a little revenge
Verse:
The story starts when it was hot and it was summer
And, I had it all; I had him right there where I wanted him
She came along, got him along, and let’s hear the applause
She took him faster than you can say sabotage
I never saw it coming, nor did I suspected it
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum
She underestimated just who she was stealing from
[Chorus]
She’s not a saint and she’s not what you think
She’s an actress, Whoa
She’s better known for the things that she does
On the mattress, Whoa
Soon she’s gonna find
Stealing other people’s toys on the playground
Won’t make you many friends
She should keep in mind,
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge, Ha
[Verse]
She lives her life like it’s a party and she’s on the list
She looks at me like I’m a trend and she’s so over it
I think her ever present frown is a little troubling
And, she thinks I’m psycho
Cause I like to rhyme her name with things, but
Sophistication isn’t what you wear, or who you know
Or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go
Oh they didn’t teach you that in prep school
So it’s up to me
But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity
[Chorus]
She’s not a saint and she’s not what you think
She’s an actress, Whoa
She’s better known for the things that she does
On the mattress, Whoa
Soon she’s gonna find
Stealing other people’s toys on the playground
Won’t make you many friends
She should keep in mind,
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge, Ha ha

[Bridge]
I’m just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him, but haven’t you heard
I’m just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him, but I always get the last word
Whoa
[Chorus]
She’s not a saint and she’s not what you think
She’s an actress, Whoa
She’s better known for the things that she does
On the mattress, Whoa
Soon she’s gonna find
Stealing other people’s toys on the playground
Won’t make you many friends
She should keep in mind,
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge,
And do you still feel like you know what you’re doing,
Cause I don’t think you do, Oh
Do you still feel like you know what you’re doing
I don’t think you do, I don’t think you do
Let’s hear the applause
C’mon show me how much better you are
See you deserve some applause
Cause you’re so much better
She took him faster than you can say sabotage
