Lyrics:

[Intro]
Uh-uh, uh, uh

[Verse 1]
You brush past me in the hallway
And you don't think I, I, I can see ya, do you?
I’ve been watching you for ages and I
Spend my time tryin' not to feel it

[Pre-Chorus]
But what would you do if I went to touch ya now?
What would you do if they never found us out?
What would you do if we never made a sound?

[Chorus]
'Cause I can see you waitin’ down the hall from me
And I could see you up against the wall with me
And what would you do? Baby, if you only knew
That I can see you

[Post-Chorus]
Uh-uh, uh, uh

[Verse 2]
And we kept everything professional
But something's changed—, its something I, I like
They keep watchful eyes on us so
It's best that we move fast and keep quiet
You won't believe half the things I see inside my head
Wait 'til you see half the things that haven't happened yet

[Pre-Chorus]
And what would you do if I went to touch ya now?
What would you do if they never found us out?
What would you do if we never made a sound?

[Chorus]
'Cause I can see you waitin' down the hall from me
And I could see you up against the wall with me
And what would you do? Baby, if you only knew, oh-oh, oh, oh
Yeah, I could see you throw your jacket on the floor
I could see you make me want you even more
What would you do? Baby, if you only knew
That I can see you

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh, oh

[Bridge]
I can see you in your suit and your neck-tie
Passed me a note saying, "Meet me tonight"
Then we kissed and you know I won’t ever tell, yeah
And I could see you being my addiction
You can see me as a secret mission (A secret mission)
Hide away and I will start behaving myself
Uh-uh, uh, uh
Oh-oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
And I can see you waitin’ down the hall from me
And I could see you up against the wall with me
And what would you do? Baby, if you only knew
And I could see you throw your jacket on the floor
I could see you make me want you even more
What would you do? Maybe if you only knew
That I can see you, oh, I can see you

[Outro]
Oh, I see you, I see you, baby
I see you
(I-I, I, I) I see you, I see you, baby
Oh, baby

Taylor Swift appears to ask fans to leave John Mayer alone as she performs song for first time in 11 years

 Taylor Swift appears to ask fans to leave John Mayer alone as she performs song for first time in 11 years

Taylor Swift performed a live version of her 2010 song “Dear John” for the first time in 11 years.

The song is widely believed to be about the singer-songwriter’s relationship with musician John Mayer.

Swift and Mayer reportedly dated between December 2009 and February 2010, when he was 31 years old and she was 19.

At Saturday night’s (24 June) concert at the US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Swift played the song, and spoke about its forthcoming re-release on Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). Swift is currently in the midst of re-recording much of her back catalogue, amid a rights dispute with music producer Scooter Braun.

In video of her introducing the song, Swift can be heard telling fans: “I’m 33 years old. I don’t care about anything that happened to me when I was 19... I’m not putting this album out so you can go on the internet and defend me against someone you think I wrote a song about 14 million years ago.”
