[Intro: Taylor Swift]

I promise that you'll never find another like me

[Verse 1: Taylor Swift]

I know that I'm a handful, baby, uh

I know I never think before I jump

And you're the kinda guy the ladies want

(And there's a lotta cool chicks out there)

I know that I went psycho on the phone

I never leave well enough alone

And trouble's gonna follow where I go

(And there's a lotta cool chicks out there)

[Pre-Chorus: Taylor Swift]

But one of these things is not like the others

Like a rainbow with all of the colors

Baby doll, when it comes to a lover

I promise that you'll never find another like

[Chorus: Taylor Swift]

Me-e-e, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I'm the only one of me

Baby, that's the fun of me

Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

You're the only one of you

Baby, that's the fun of you

And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me-e-e

[Verse 2: Brendon Urie, Taylor Swift]

I know I tend to make it about me

I know you never get just what you see

But I will never bore you, baby

(And there's a lotta lame guys out there)

And when we had that fight out in the rain

You ran after me and called my name

I never wanna see you walk away

(And there's a lotta lame guys out there)

[Pre-Chorus: Both, Brendon Urie]

'Cause one of these things is not like the others

Livin' in winter, I am your summer

Baby doll, when it comes to a lover

I promise that you'll never find another like

[Chorus: Brendon Urie, Both]

Me-e-e, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I'm the only one of me

Let me keep you company

Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

You're the only one of you

Baby, that's the fun of you

And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me-e-e

[Bridge: Brendon Urie, Taylor Swift, Both]

Girl, there ain't no "I" in "team"

But you know there is a "me"

Strike the band up, one, two, three

I promise that you'll never find another like me

Girl, there ain't no "I" in "team"

But you know there is a "me"

And you can't spell "awesome" without "me"

I promise that you'll never find another like

[Chorus: Both, Taylor Swift, Brendon Urie]

Me-e-e (Yeah), ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (And I want ya, baby)

I'm the only one of me (I'm the only one of me)

Baby, that's the fun of me (Baby, that's the fun of me)

Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Oh)

You're the only one of you (Oh)

Baby, that's the fun of you

And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me-e-e

[Outro: Brendon Urie, Taylor Swift, Both]

Girl, there ain't no "I" in "team" (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

But you know there is a "me"

I'm the only one of me (Oh-oh)

Baby, that's the fun of me

(Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Strike the band up, one, two, three

You can't spell "awesome" without "me"

You're the only one of you (Yeah, yeah)

Baby, that's the fun of you

And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me-e-e

Lagu “ME!” menggambarkan pesan tentang pentingnya menghargai keunikan diri dalam sebuah hubungan. Taylor Swift dan Brendon Urie menekankan bahwa setiap orang memiliki karakter, kekurangan, dan kelebihan yang membuat mereka berbeda dari yang lain.

Lagu ini menyoroti penerimaan diri, termasuk sifat impulsif, sikap berlebihan, atau hal-hal kecil yang mungkin dianggap mengganggu.

Namun, di balik itu semua, keduanya menegaskan bahwa keunikan tersebut justru menjadi nilai yang membuat hubungan lebih hidup. Intinya, lagu ini merayakan identitas pribadi dan keyakinan bahwa cinta yang tulus menerima seseorang apa adanya. (Arif)
