Better Than Revenge” is a song on the 2010 album Speak Now. It is about her relationship with Joe Jonas and the girl he dumped her for, actress Camilla Belle. Taylor writes about the actress with the line, "She's better known for the things that she does on the mattress".

Musically, this song is a departure from Taylor Swift's typical country pop, using influences of pop punk while being compared to Paramore's Misery Business.

Lyrics
Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did
Ha
Haha
Time for a little revenge

[Verse 1]
The story starts when it was hot and it was summer and
I had it all, I had him right there where I wanted him
She came along, got him alone, and let's hear the applause
She took him faster than you could say sabotage.
I never saw it coming, wouldn't have suspected it (wouldn't have suspected it)
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum (like a drum)
She underestimated just who she was from stealing from

Chorus
She's not a saint, and she's not what you think
She's an actress, whoa
But she's better known for the things that she does on the mattress
Whoa
Soon she's gonna find stealing other peoples' toys on the playground won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge (than revenge)
Ha

[Verse 2]
She looks at life like it's a party and she's on the list (on the list)
She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it
I think her ever-present frown is a little troubling
She thinks I'm psycho 'cause I like to rhyme her name with things ('cause I like to rhyme her name with things)
But sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know
Or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go (wanna go)
They wouldn't teach you that in prep school so it's up to me (up to me)
That no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity (dignity)
Think about what you did

Chorus
She's not a saint, and she's not what you think
She's an actress, whoa
But she's better known for the things that she does on the mattress
Whoa
Soon she's gonna find stealing other peoples' toys on the playground won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge
Haha

[Verse 3]
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him but haven't you heard
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him but I always get my turn
Whoa, can't take it back, what

Chorus
She's not a saint, and she's not what you think (no)
She's an actress, whoa (she deserves it)
But she's better known for the things that she does on the mattress
Whoa
Soon she's gonna find stealing other peoples' toys on the playground won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge

[Verse 4]
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing
Cause I don't think you do (no, no, no, no)
Oh, do you still feel like you know what you're doing (no)
I don't think you do, I don't think you do

Let's hear the applause
Come on show me how much better you are (so much better, yeah?)
See you deserve some applause
Cause you're so much better

She took him faster than you could say sabotage
