Traitor Joe Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Joe, hearin' this, it might just break your heart
But you know I can't keep you in the dark
Well last night I saw your girlfriend at the bar, in a car in the parkin' lot in some guy's arms

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm sorry how you're finding out
I know you really love her now

[Chorus]
But you're gonna hate her, hate her, boy, you gotta know
She's a player, player, a wolf in sheep's clothes
All I'm sayin', sayin', is you should let her go
She's a traitor, traitor, Joe

[Verse 2]
You shouldn't be somebody's someone on the side
You deserve a girl who's gonna treat you right
So go ahead and ask about her night
And when she looks you in the еye and lies

[Chorus]
You're gonna hatе her, hate her, boy, you gotta know
She's a player, player, a wolf in sheep's clothes
All I'm sayin', sayin', is you should let her go
She's a traitor, traitor, Joe
[Bridge]
You should trade her, trade her in for a girl like me (Like me)
I'm right here, I'm everythin' you need
Yeah, I've been waitin', waitin', hopin' that sooner or later

[Chorus]
You're gonna hate her, hate her, boy, you gotta know
She's a player, player, a wolf in sheep's clothes
All I'm sayin', sayin', is you should let her go
She's a traitor, traitor, Joe

[Outro]
She's a traitor, traitor
A player, player
Yeah, she's a traitor, traitor, Joe

What did Megan Moroney say about "Traitor Joe"?
Genius Answer

So ‘Traitor Joe’ is definitely a fun one. I came in with the idea. You’re a ‘Traitor Joe,’ because I naturally gravitate to the angry at men songs. But my co writer Ben Williams was like, why don’t we make it she’s a ‘Traitor Joe.’ And as soon as he, you know, made that switch, I immediately thought of like, ‘You Belong With Me’ by Taylor Swift. And we were just so excited to write it and yeah, that’s how that one came to be.
