“Babe” is a song Taylor Swift wrote with Pat Monahan of Train while working on her 2012 album, Red. The track, which fans believe is about actor Jake Gyllenhaal, finds Taylor looking back on a failed relationship. It’s interesting to note that “Better Man,” a song Taylor gave to Little Big Town in 2017, has very similar themes. Fans have pointed out several connections between “Babe” and other songs written for the Red album, including “All Too Well,” “Girl At Home,” and “The Last Time.”

Babe lyrics

What a shame
Didn't wanna be the one that got away, yeah
Big mistake, broke the sweetest promise
That you never should have made
I'm here on the kitchen floor
You call, but I won't hear it
You said, "No one else," how could you do this, babe?
You really blew this, babe
We ain't gettin' through this one, babe
This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe
This is the last time, this is the last time
This is the last time, I'll ever call you "babe"
What a waste
Takin' down the pictures and the plans we made, yeah
And it's strange how your face doesn't look so innocent
Your secret has its consequence and that's on you, babe
I break down every time you call
We're a wreck, you're the wreckin' ball
We said, "No one else", how could you do this, babe?
You really blew this, babe
We ain't gettin' through this one, babe
This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe
This is the last time, this is the last time
This is the last time
Since you admitted it (oh), I keep picturin' (oh)
Her lips on your neck (oh), I can't unsee it (oh)
I hate that because of you (oh), I can't love you, babe
What a shame, didn't want to be the one that got away
How could you do this, babe?
You really blew this, babe
We ain't gettin' through this one, babe
How could you do this, babe?
This is the last time, this is the last time
This is the last time I'll ever call you, babe
How could you do this, babe?
I'm here on the kitchen floor, you call but I won't hear it
You said, "No one else," we ain't gettin' through this one, babe
I break down every time you call, this is the last time
We're a wreck, you're the wreckin' ball (this is the last time)
You said, "No one else"
This is the last time I'll ever call you "babe"
