Her Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's real pretty if you’re into that brunette
Looks good without any makeup on
Green eyes kind of thing
Uh huh
She's spontaneous, she ain't afraid of anything
She’s not the jealous type
She's the type you give a diamond ring

[Pre-Chorus]
And I came along, just after she walked out
Picking up the pieces 'til I've figured out

[Chorus]
There's a girl that you want
She's everything that I am not

And you can't stop thinking about her
There's a thin little line
And it’s like you cross it every time

When you can’t stop thinking about her

[Verse 2]
She came from a really small town
She liked to watch football with you
Well, I'd learn football too, if you wanted me to
Uh huh
She’s really good with babies, she'd be a great mother
She said I should really meet her sometime
Uh huh
[Pre-Chorus]
It's getting old, I wonder if you've seen
The favorite conversation’s killing me

[Chorus]
There's a girl that you want
She's everything that I am not
And you can't stop thinking about her
There's a thin little line
And it's like you cross it every time
When you can't stop thinking about her

[Bridge]
Don't you know I was a 4.0 in school?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Her” seems to be about the same situation as 2006’s “Teardrops on My Guitar” and Swift’s unreleased track “Permanent Marker.” Much like on the other unreleased track “Angelina,” Swift describes the “other girl” that stole her crush’s heart. It leaked online in October 2021.
