“Gorgeous” describes a fully intoxicating infatuation in the form of seemingly unrequited love. The man in Taylor’s attention is so impossibly attractive, she feels compelled to be with him even though she already has a boyfriend. The song seems to play with the rumors that Taylor cheated on Calvin Harris with Tom Hiddleston in 2016. Furthermore, the chorus seems to mock the perception that most of Taylor’s discography is comprised of lighthearted, simple songs about boys.
Lyrics
[Intro]
Gorgeous
[Verse 1]
You should take it as a compliment That I got drunk and made fun of the way you talk You should think about the consequence Of your magnetic field being a little too strong And I got a boyfriend, he's older than us He's in the club doin' I don't know what You're so cool, it makes me hate you so much (I hate you so much)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Whisky on ice, Sunset and Vine You've ruined my life by not being mine
[Chorus]
You're so gorgeous I can't say anything to your face 'Cause look at your face And I'm so furious At you for making me feel this way But what can I say? You're gorgeous
[Verse 2]
You should take it as a compliment That I'm talking to everyone here but you And you should think about the consequence Of you touching my hand in a darkened room If you've got a girlfriend, I'm jealous of her But if you're single that's honestly worse 'Cause you're so gorgeous it actually hurts (Honey, it hurts)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Ocean blue eyes looking in mine I feel like I might sink and drown and die
[Chorus]
You're so gorgeous I can't say anything to your face 'Cause look at your face And I'm so furious At you for making me feel this way But what can I say? You're gorgeous
[Bridge]
You make me so happy it turns back to sad There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have And you are so gorgeous it makes me so mad You make me so happy it turns back to sad, yeah There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have and Guess I'll just stumble on home to my cats Alone Unless you wanna come along
[Chorus]
You're so gorgeous I can't say anything to your face 'Cause look at your face And I'm so furious At you for making me feel this way But what can I say? You're gorgeous
[Outro]
You make me so happy it turns back to sad There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have And you are so gorgeous it makes me so mad You're gorgeous You make me so happy it turns back to sad There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have You are so gorgeous it makes me so mad You're gorgeous
