"  Hordes of American women (myself included) have gotten through breakups by listening to the 2010 Taylor Swift song &amp;quot;Dear John,&amp;quot; in which she searingly details her mistreatment at the hands of numb Lothario and professional weird-guitar-sex-face-maker John Mayer.  He finally responded to the song in the press last summer, via Entertainment Weekly, saying, &amp;quot;It made me feel terrible... Because I didn&amp;#039;t deserve it. I&amp;#039;m pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did anything to deserve that. It was a really lousy thing for her to do.&amp;quot; He also called it &amp;quot;cheap songwriting,&amp;quot; and said that she blindsided him with the very public declaration of hurt rather than send him an email or text about how she felt. However, all&amp;#039;s fair in love and the Top 40, because Mayer&amp;#039;s now released a single of his own that&amp;#039;s likely about his relationship with T-Swizzle. (It also features Joanna Roarbach, the Prancersize lady. Who even knows.) The chorus is one of the most obvious hints that &amp;quot;Paper Doll&amp;quot; is about his relationship with (and subsequent musical takedown by) Swifty: &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re like twenty-two girls in one / And none of them know what they&amp;#039;re runnin&amp;#039; from.&amp;quot; Swift, obviously, is known of late for her single &amp;quot;22.&amp;quot;       Some more lyrics we&amp;#039;ve decoded: Mayer in &amp;quot;Paper Doll:&amp;quot; Fold a scarf, Moroccan red And tie your hair behind your head Strap into some heels that hurt You should&amp;#039;ve kept my undershirt. As we became aware during the Hyannisport/Conor Kennedy era, T-Swizzle has a penchant for red polka-dotted Rosie The Riveter &amp;#039;50s headwear. She also sang in &amp;quot;All Too Well&amp;quot; about how ex Jake Gyllenhaal jacked her scarf. Taylor Swift in &amp;quot;Dear John&amp;quot;: You paint me a blue sky, then go back and turn it to rain. Mayer in &amp;quot;Paper Doll:&amp;quot; Someone&amp;#039;s gonna paint you another sky. Are you convinced yet? This wouldn&amp;#039;t be the first time Mayer has been rumored to turn his celebrity romances into lyrics; he supposedly wrote &amp;quot;Your Body is a Wonderland&amp;quot; about Jennifer Love Hewitt. And &amp;quot;Shadow Days&amp;quot; was reportedly penned as a &amp;quot;farewell letter&amp;quot; to Jennifer Aniston (who he blabbed about to the paparazzi like five seconds after their breakup) with lyrics like, &amp;quot;Well I ain&amp;#039;t no trouble maker/And I never meant her harm/But it doesn&amp;#039;t mean I didn&amp;#039;t make it/Hard to carry on.&amp;quot; Follow Anna on Twitter.
