He also admitted he was blindsided by the lyrics. "I never got an e-mail. I never got a phone call," he said. "I was really caught off-guard, and it really humiliated me at a time when I'd already been dressed down. I mean, how would you feel if, at the lowest you've ever been, someone kicked you even lower?"
When it comes to the line, "Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?" -- Mayer isn’t talking. "I don't want to go into that."
John, who released his new album “Born and Raised” on May 22, called Swift’s song “cheap songwriting.”
"I know she's the biggest thing in the world, and I'm not trying to sink anybody's ship, but I think it's abusing your talent to rub your hands together and go, 'Wait ‘til he gets a load of this!' That's bullshit."
John, 34, and Taylor, 22, dated in 2010.

What is he mad about? He messed with the wrong chick. He has a horrible reputation. What was she thinking dating him anyway? Grow up John!
John, John, John, get over yourself. You know you needed to grow up and stop hurting the girls. It is over and done with and you are not perfect either, you know what you did. Stop complainin John. Stick to singing and lay low on the women. :>( Taylor was too too young for you! Taylor I love you but stay away for older men and go out with your age group. Would be best for you. You are a beautiful and young women just play your music and continue writting songs. Stay away from the bad boys. :>)
What a cry baby. Get yourself a pasifier and your blanket John. Lol.
Quit whining, John Mayer. I didn't hear Dave Coulier make a big deal about "You Oughta Know."
Ok John you just now heard the song? I mean comeon it has been out for awhile. You just wanted you time in the spotlight again. Grow up and stop fussing.
Wake up John, you only did it to yourself. Should have been more careful on how you treated women. It's All and done with, Get over it and just let it go. Taylor love ya but go out with males your own age, and just in joy life and take it slow. There is a special someone out there for you. Just go on and focus on your music. Love Ya!

It is, after all, all about him.
Sorry John, payback is a bitch. Take a look in the mirror, you deserved that and more for the way you treat woman.
John Mayer is the biggest jerk, I used to like him and his music, but he is a womanizer and thinks he is "God's gift to women". He should stop whining about women writing songs about him, he doesn't rate the mention. He took advantage of her, and Jennifer and many others.
I wish John Mayer would just go away. What was he doing dating a 19 year old anyway?
Well well hes getting some of his own medicine----Jen Aniston---he's had a big mouth than so now its his turn.
Taylor Swift is hardly as innocent as she portrays herself. She knew damned well what she was doing.
He's a nobody who hasn't been in the news for a very long time. He's just whining so someone will pay attention to him and ask him for an interview. Here's some advice, John. STFU, stop being a D-bag and grow up.
Let me get my violin to go with his tears! He should talk. His songs contain about five different words....the lyrics and music are just repeated over and over. BORING!! Grow up! If he was such a great catch he'd be married by now!
John Mayer is such an ASS. I can't even understand why these good looking women go out with him. He's critizing Taylor Swift? First of all, she has repeatedly said she writes about her life and experiences and definitely writes of her past relationships. So he was forewarned. But as far as being upset with her, he has been doing the same only much more directly and negatively to the press about all his previous girlfriends - that they were nothing, not hot, not etc. WOMEN STAY AWAY FROM HIM. He is only out for his own ego always.
And yes, at the times he was much older and experienced than her - however not smarter, wiser, or nicer.
