Better Than Revenge Lyrics

Spoken:
Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did
Ha, time for a little revenge

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...

    This is song is for Camilla Belle because she stole her Joe Jonas. You can know it because in the last part she says: " C'mon show me how much better you are. See you deserve some applause. Cause you're so much better" and Joe Jonas wrote a song for Camilla Belle that is in the Jonas Brother's last album (Lines, vines and traying times) whose called "Much Better". In that song Joe Jonas says: "Now I'm done with superstars, and all the tears on her guitar", and there's a Taylor's song calles "Teardrops on my guitar"(but it is not about Joe Jonas, is about a school friend called Drew, as she told in the Tru Hollywood Story's interviw for E!. The song about Joe Jonas is "Forever and allways" as she told at the Ellen Show). One day, at the June 22 concert in Tulsa, OK, Joe Jonas changed the lyrics and instead he said: "Now I'm done with COUNTRY STARS..." (you can find it on youtube)
    Taylor in this song said she allways has the last word. LOVE TAYLOR AND THE JONAS BROTHERS, they are BOTH my biggest idols. I love them. :)

    Perhaps it's about someone stealing her Ken doll, "...toys on the playground..."

    It's either about Ashley Greene or Camilla- either way the "boy" in this scenario is definitely Joe Jonas. There is quite bold evidence though:
    "Prep School"- she must be quite wealthy
    "And it was summer"- the episode happened in summer.
    "She's an actress"- an actress
    "Better known for things that she does on the matress"- has been in a scene involving sexual activity of some kind.
    "Her ever present frown"- Tends to frown
    "But no amount of vintage dresses" Loves vintage dresses
    I'd lean more towards Camilla.

    Its about Taylor, Joe, and Cammila, Joe stats him and Taylor dated but, he didnt really feel anything speacial, they quickly drifted apart and Cammilla got Jeo before Taylor could get him back, I think Taylor really did like Joe, but soon her mood changed from sorrow, to hatred when he forcus came to Cammila, Dont mess with Taylor, she is a wicked, amazing, talented song writer;



    "She came along
    Got him alone
    And let's hear the applause
    She took him faster than you can say sabotage

    I never saw it coming
    Wouldn't have 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"

    The song is about Camilla and Joe. vintage dresses is what she likes, also it talks about her and her prep school (wealthy)

    It's about a girl, most likely one you never liked in the first place, stealing your boyfriend from you. When it all comes down, it's not about the boy, it's about getting even with the girl who stole the boy from you. All you want is revenge, nothing else.

    it is about Camilla because when Taylor and Joe broke up she (Taylor) told everyone that he had cheated on her and Camilla had broken them up. However, Joe annd Camilla didn't get together until after Taylor had said that.

    in the lyrics it has 'L' and 'D' capitalized. which i think is giving us a clue who it's about. i don't know. that's just an observation

    This talks about Ashley Greene being Joe Jonas' current girlfriend. 'she's better known for the things that she does on the mattress' was because Ashley did intercourse in a movie. it was also meant to be 'bed', rhymed with mattress.

    The song is about Camilla Belle and Joe Jonas. In the lyrics she says that "no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity." Camilla has a huge love of vintage dresses - also, she says "She's an actress, whoa and she's better known for the things that she does on the matress." Camilla Belle's an actress and she posed in a raunchy photoshoot a while back..

    Well, that's why I think they mean.
