Nice Girl the new Nice Guy?

I've been listening to mash ups recently and found a Taylor Swift/Kanye West mash up that I really like, having never heard a Taylor Swift song before the lyrics were a weird surprise.

Here's the mash up (loads in quicktime & starts straight away) from Bootie Blog

Lyrics to You Belong With Me :

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, She's upset
She's going off about something that you said
She doesnt get your humour like I do

(Maybe he's a total dick, maybe he told a really offensive joke and she got mad, maybe she has every right to be mad Ms Swift, not disagreeing with this guy, or any guy, is not the greatest symbol of love)

I'm in the room, its a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesnt like
And she'll never know your story like I do

(So you're down to earth and like to listen to music in your bedroom, music that 'she' doesn't like eh? So what would that be then, eh? So you're 'better' than this other girl but you're making assumptions about them based on their musical choices? Really?)

But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you'll wake up and find
That what you're lookin for has been here the whole time

(Ooh, we're in Avril Lavigne territory here 'cept without the faux punk pop stylings. I'm still just as confused as when Avril said 'he was a punk, she did ballet, can I make anymore obvious?' Erm, yes, I'm still waiting for you to make it more obvious Avril, I'm guessing you're alluding to cliques & the stereotypes surrounding jocks & nerds and such but Ms Abdul took two steps forward & then two steps back in a bid to convince us that opposites attract and to be honest she had a stronger argument, she even had a rapping cat so she wins. Also waiting around for someone you're convinced will one day love you back is a bit sad and needy)

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
You belong with me

(Hmmm....So not disagreeing, 'understanding' and waiting around pining for someone to love you back means that that someone should belong to you? Creepy stalker territory there)

Walkin the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself
Hey isnt this easy?

(Hanging out with the guy you're in love with & pretending this is how it would be if you were together is just delusional)

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I havent seen it in awhile, since she brought you down
You say you find I know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that?

(I thought the lyric was 'you say you're fine, I know you better than that' I might be wrong but anyway, this is just bizarre...compliment him, knock down the other girl, reminder that Ms Swift 'gets' him, then a sneak attack of questioning his decision to be 'with a girl like that' girl like what, eh?)

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you'll wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

(Oh yeah, a girl that wears high heels and short skirts, obviously she's a no good tramp in comparison to the needy girl in the t-shirt & sneakers - you're not allowed to like a variety of styles, just one o t'other and the latter makes you a better person apparently, or obviously)

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me

(Again, hanging around, knowing everything about him, not stalking in any way....)

Standin by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that?
You belong with me
You belong with me

(.....oh, scratch that last one.)

Oh I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're about to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams
I think I know where you belong. I think I know it's with me.

(Again with the manipulative 'I know this & that & make you happy really' bullshit, if he genuinely is unhappy then this isn't the way a real friend would/should be behaving, in fact she's just over-complicating things with her own selfish desires with absolutely no regard to what he may or may not actually want)

Can't you see that I'm the one who understand you?
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me

(Keep repeating it, if he didn't believe it before he might sooner or later given his apparent state of mind)

Standing by or waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that
You belong with me
You belong with me

(Or maybe she means his other 'back door' which is extra creepy really, I mean Ms Swift, you have to ask before you hang around that one, tsk tsk, you will never learn will you Ms Swift if you keep overstepping the boundaries of your friendship)

Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me

(Maybe he hasn't, maybe the friendship is now completely ruined because Taylor, as his best friend, decided to constantly tear shreds of his actual girlfriend, inserting herself into every moment when things aren't going too well to remind him how much awesomer than his girlfriend she actually is and how they'd be so much better together. A true Nice Girl if ever there was one....)

Oh wait, here's the actual video, I don't want to spoil the end or anything but Taylor shows up all lovely & virginal in a white prom dress & wins the boy whilst her slutty rival (she has a dress with cutaway parts, a true sign of slutdom if ever there was one in Swifts world) & his actual girlfriend walks off understandably annoyed by this creepy drama.



I think I'm Team Kanye on the basis of this.
