Why are guys so blind and why are they oblivious
They could be so rude and it could be ridiculous
You try to do one thing and they laugh and make fun of you
You try to be yourself and they hate all the things you do

They don't know the truth, they twist up all the facts
Start another rumor, everyone reacts
They don't know the other side, they just assume
And everything is fine 'til you walk in the room

One, two, three and four
I can't take this anymore
Five, six, seven, eight
I just need a sweet escape
I just need a sweet escape

Shake it off, yeah, it's just whatever
They say these lies just to get together
They will tell you that it's now or never, oohh
Shake it off, yeah, it's just whatever
They say these lies just to get together
They will tell you that it's now or never
So shake it off, it's just whatever

I look them in the eyes, but I can't see any trust 
I try to talk to them, but they don't take me serious
I just want a guy who says what he means
But maybe that happens only in dreams

Outta control and they are so curious 
Messing with my mind 'til I am delirious
When they're with their friends they are jerks
They try to impress both, but it never works

One, two, three and four
I can't take this anymore
Five, six, seven, eight
I just need a sweet escape
I just need a sweet escape

Shake it off, yeah, it's just whatever
They say these lies just to get together
They will tell you that it's now or never, oohh
Shake it off, yeah, it's just whatever
They say these lies just to get together
They will tell you that it's now or never
So shake it off, it's just whatever

And they think, that they know
Who I am, but they don't
So I'll just ignore it all
But they think that they do
But you know that ain't true
So I ain't holdin' on

One, two, three and four
I can't take this anymore
Five, six, seven, eight
I just need a sweet escape
I just need a sweet escape

Shake it off, yeah, it's just whatever
They say these lies just to get together
They will tell you that it's now or never, oohh
Shake it off, yeah, it's just whatever
They say these lies just to get together
They will tell you that it's now or never
So shake it off, it's just whatever
