Target Trouble (Inspired by Taylor Swift’s ”I Knew You Were Trouble”) Lyrics

Once a week at least, or everytime I go
Happy in your aisles, in my shopping zone
Cause you get me, you get me, you get me, me, me, me

Oh target you’re my love, you’re my natural habitat
And can it be so bad, if it’s on the sale rack?
I’m spending, I’m spending, I’m spending, ing, ing, ing

And it’s long gone, money I will grieve
Time to realize Tar-chay is bad for me

Cause I knew you were trouble when I walked in
So shame on me now-ow
Curse you ever-present dollar bins
Cause you bring me down

Oh I knew you were trouble when I walked in
So shame on me now-ow
Knew the throw pil-lows would do me in
Oh my marriage, this will be a battleground

Oh, oh, Target always trouble
Oh, oh, Target, always trouble

No priorities. The stress, I want to cry
I’m blowing through my cash, and that’s the reason why
We’re drowning, we’re drowning, we’re drowning, ing, ing, ing
Need to move on, grow up and face the heat
Nothing new is worth feeling guil-ty
And now I see, now I see, now I see

I was all wrong, now I have the key
And I realize, that I could free, yeah!

With a budget, stroll past the dollar bins
No shame for me now
I knew what I’d spend before I pulled in
I’m a whole new girl, oh

Now I budget, Tar-get’s not a sin
No shame for me now
I grow me up, like I’ve never been
Now I’m saving extra money all around

Oh, oh, no more money trouble
Oh, oh, no more money trouble

And the saddest fear comes creeping in
That we’d never know free, or how, to save, or anything, yeah

Now I budget, Tar-get’s not a sin
No shame for me now
I knew I could spend before I pulled in
I’m a whole new girl, now
I know with a budget, Tar-get’s not a sin (your loss, Target, your loss, Target)
No shame for me now
Grew up, have cash, it’s a win-win
Now I’m saving extra money all around

Oh, oh, no more money trouble
Oh oh, no more more money trouble
Knew what I could spend before I pulled in
Saving, So Much, Money
Now I budget, Tar-get’s not a sin
Saving, So Much, Money
