Britney Spears - Britney Lyrics






I'm A Slave 4 U

I know I may be young, but I've got feelings too.
And I need to do what I feel like doing.
So let me go and just listen.

All you people look at me like I'm a little girl.
Well did you ever think it be okay for me to step into this world.

Always saying little girl don't step into the club.
Well I'm just tryin' to find out why cause dancing's what I love.

Get it get it, get it get it (WHOOOA)
Get it get it, get it get it (WHOOOOOA) (Do you like it)
Get it get it, get it get it (OOOHHHH) (This feels good)

I know I may come off quiet, I may come off shy.
But I feel like talking, feel like dancing when I see this guy.

What's practical is logical. What the hell, who cares?
All I know is I'm so happy when you're dancing there.

I'm a slave for you. I cannot hold it; I cannot control it.
I'm a slave for you. I won't deny it; I'm not trying to hide it.

Baby, don't you wanna, dance upon me,
(I just wanna dance next to you)
To another time and place.
Baby, don't you wanna, dance upon me,
(Are you ready)
Leaving behind my name, my age.
(Lets go)

(Like that)
(You like it)
(Now watch me)

Get it get it, get it get it (WHOOOA)
Get it get it, get it get it (WHOOOOOA)
Get it get it, get it get it (OOOHHHH)
(Panting)

I really wanna dance, tonight with you.
(I just can't help myself)
I really wanna do what you want me to.
(I just feel I let myself go)

I really wanna dance, tonight with you.
(Wanna see you move)
I really wanna do what you want me to.
(Uh Uh Uh)

Baby, don't you wanna, dance upon me,
(I just wanna dance next to you)
To another time and place.
Baby, don't you wanna, dance upon me,
(Are you ready)
Leaving behind my name, my age.

I'm a slave for you. (Take that) I cannot hold it; I cannot control it.
I'm a slave (It just feels right) for you. (It just feels good)
I won't deny it; I'm not trying to hide it. (Baby)

Get it get it, get it get it (WHOOOA)
Get it get it, get it get it (WHOOOOOA)
Get it get it, get it get it (OOOHHHH)
(Panting)

Get it get it, get it get it (WHOOOA)
Get it get it, get it get it (WHOOOOOA)
Get it get it, get it get it (OOOHHHH)
(Panting)

I'm a slave for you. (Here we go now)
I cannot hold it; I cannot control it.
I'm a slave for you. (Here we go) I won't deny it, (Yeah)
I'm not trying to hide it.

(Like that)

Overprotected

I need time, love, joy
I need space, love, now, I need me

Say hello, to the girl that I am
You're gonna have to see through my perspective
I need to make mistakes, just to learn who I am
And I don't wanna be, so damn protected

There must be another way
'Cause I believe in takin' chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do?
God, I need some answers

What am I to do, do with my life?
(You'll find it out, don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just gotta do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I tell 'em what I like, what I want, and what I don't
But every time I do, I stand corrected
Things that I've been told
I can't believe what I hear about the world
I realize I'm overprotected

So there must be another way
'Cause I believe in takin' chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do?
God, I need some answers

What am I to do, do with my life?
(You'll find it out, don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just gotta do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I need time, love, I need space
This is it

I don't need nobody tellin' me just what I wanna
What I want, or what I'm gonna
(I need)
Do about my destiny
(I say no, no)

Nobody's tellin' me just what I wanna
(Do, do)
I'm so fed up with people tellin' me to be
Someone else but me, yeah

What am I to do, do with my life?
(You'll find it out, don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just gotta do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I don't need nobody tellin' me just what I wanna
What I want, or what I'm gonna
Do about my destiny
(I say no, no)

Nobody's tellin' me just what I wanna
(Do, do)
I'm so fed up with people tellin' me to be
Someone else but me

What am I to do, do with my life?
(You'll find it out, don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just gotta do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

Lonely

To think I'm so naive
How dare you
Play with me?
I gave you
Heart and soul, yeah
Tell me baby, please
Why you screwing
With my head?
I don't think
You understand
I won't take your huh
No more
Don't knock on my door
Not this time
Because I recognise
I've heard it all before
And I-E-I-E-I
Think of all the time
That I've wasted
Think of all the times
That I took you back
Ain't no way
I'll be lonely
I don't wanna
Let you back in
Let's just face it
(Face it)
Better off alone and
I won't turn back
Thought that
I would be lonely
I don't wanna
Let you back in

Don't tell me
How to feel
Or say that
You're for real
My mind's made up
I'm cool without you
You got no more appeal
Now this girl
Don't need no man
Says what she can do
What she can
Now I live for me
Boy does that
Make you weep?

Not this time
Because I realise
I've heard it all before
And I-E-I-E-I

I think of all the time
That I've wasted
I think of all the times
That I took you back
Ain't no way
I'll be lonely
I don't wanna
Let you back in
Let's just face it
(Face it)
Better off alone and
I won't turn back
Thought that
I would be lonely
I don't wanna
Let you back in

Think of times
You made me cry
You had me so confused
I'm tired of trying
Leave behind this

What's a girl to do

[Spoken:]
Think of all the times
You made me sick
I used to think
I couldn't handle it
What you think
I'm just another chick?
Messed with Brit
Boy you must
Have tripped
What were you thinkin'
When you lost my trust?
You had it all now
You're left with nothing
Oh baby, now
I know you
Want my touch
And now you're lonely
And you still want me

Think of all the time
That I've wasted
Think of all the times
That I took you back
Ain't no way
I'll be lonely
I don't wanna
Let you back in
Let's just face it
(Face it)
Better off alone and
I won't turn back
Thought that
I would be lonely
I don't wanna
Let you back in

Think of all the time
That I've wasted
Think of all the times
That I took you back
Ain't no way
I'll be lonely
I don't wanna
Let you back in
Let's just face it
(Face it)
Better off alone and
I won't turn back
Thought that
I would be lonely
I don't wanna
Let you back in

Im Not A Girl Not Yet A Woman

I used to think
I had the answers to everything,
But now I know
Life doesn't always go my way, yeah...
Feels like I'm caught in the middle
That's when I realize...

[Chorus:]
I'm not a girl,
Not yet a woman.
All I need is time,
A moment that is mine,
While I'm in between.

[Verse 2]
I'm not a girl,
There is no need to protect me.
It's time that I
Learn to face up to this on my own.
I've seen so much more than you know now,
So don't tell me to shut my eyes.

[Chorus]

I'm not a girl,
But if you look at me closely,
You will see it my eyes.
This girl will always find
Her way.

I'm not a girl
(I'm not a girl don't tell me what to believe).
Not Yet a woman
(I'm just trying to find the woman in me, yeah).
All I need is time (All I need),
A moment that is mine (That is mine),
While I'm in between.

I'm not a girl
Not yet a woman
All I need is time (All I need),
A moment that is mine,
While I'm in between.

I'm not a girl,
Not yet a woman.

I Love Rock n Roll

Hey, is this thing on?

I saw him dancing there by the record machine
I knew he must have been about seventeen
The beat was going strong, playing my favorite song
I could tell it wouldn't be long
'Til he was with me, yeah with me
I could tell it wouldn't be long
'Til he was with me, yeah with me, singin'

CHORUS

I love rock 'n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock 'n' roll
So come and take the time and dance with me

He smiled, so I got up and asked for his name
"But that don't matter," he said, "'cause it's all the same."
He said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?"
And next we were movin' on
And he was with me, yeah with me
And we were movin' on and singin' the same ol' song
Yeah with me, singin'

CHORUS - repeat

He said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?"
And next we were movin' on
And he was with me, yeah with me
And we were movin' on and singing that same ol' song
Yeah with me, singin'

Cinderella

I used to be your girlfriend and I know I did it well
Oh yes you know its true
You'd call me Cinderella
All you had to do was yell
And I'd be there for you

Here I am
So try to forgive me
I don't believe in fairy tales
Here we are with nothing but honesty
I've had enough
I'm not gonna stay

I'm sorry for running away like this
And I'm sorry I've already made my wish
Oh, But Cinderellas got to go

From time to time I'd try to tell just what was on my mind.
You'd tell me not today.
Come back, do that.
Wheres, Cinderella at...
Was all you had to say

Here I am, so try to forgive me
I don't believe in fairy tales
here we are with nothing but honesty
i've had..enough...i'm not gonna stay

I'm sorry for running away like this 'n i'm sorry
i've already made my wish. Ah, but cinderella's
got to go

i'm sorry just tryin' to live my life
don't worry, you're gonna be alright
but cinderellas got to go.

[spoken]

I used to say I want you, you cast me in your spell.
I did everything you wanted me to, but now i shall..
break free from all your lies. I won't be blind you see,
my love it can't be sacrificed, i won't return to thee.

[sung]
I'm so sorry, i've already made up my mind

[spoken]
I won't return to thee

[sung]
I'm sorry to say, i'm runnin' away now...
don't worry, you will be alright

i'm runnin' away, i've made up my mind now..
your gonna have to let me go

I'm sorry for runnin' away like this, and I'm
sorry I've already made my wish
Oh, but cinderella's got to go
I'm sorry, just tryin' to live my life, don't worry,
your going to be alright!
but cinderella's got to go.

Let Me Be

You try to read me
You try to figure out
You try to breathe me
But you can't blow me out
You try to feel me
But I'm so out of touch
I won't be falling
You won't have to pick me up
Sorry if I sound confused
I don't feel the way you do
But I won't turn around
But I won't turn around

[Chorus:]
Think that I might back down but I won't
Think that I might have doubts but I don't
No insecurities, won't you just let me, let me be?
Think that you know me now but you don't
Think that I can't stand on my own
It ain't my philosophy,
Won't you just let me, let me be?

Trust in my instincts
Trust that I know what's right
These are the reasons
That keep you up at night (at night)
Tell me "Go slow"
This is my flow
'Cause you don't know
Know what I know

Let me tell you how it feels
Baby it's time that you see me for real
Sorry if I sound confused
I don't feel the way you do
But I won't turn around
But I won't turn around

[Chorus]

Trust that I know
This is my show
Letting you know
Gotta go the way I go
Trust that I know
This is my show
Letting you know
Gotta go the way I go

Never found inside of Me
Built these walls up so high
Needed my room to breathe

With you I get so high
Lost in the crystal sky
You are this melody
That's where you take me

How did u find my door
The key up to my soul
To you forever more

And never did I once think twice

Stay with me a while

Ooh!

My heart, it feels so safe
You are my melody
That's where you take me

Afraid to let it all inside
Now I wanna hear you'll

What Its Like To Be Me

Do you know what it's like?
Come on, come on

Baby tell me
Do I look like the kind of girl
That you want to take home
Want to make me your own
Do you even know what I like
Just what I'm living for
What I adore

Baby, take the time to realize I'm
Not the kind to sacrifice
The way I am
So if you want to be my man (baby)

Walk a mile in my shoes
Do me right or I'm through
Can't you see that
If you want to stay around (I'm telling you)
You've got to figure me out
Take your time or you lose
This is my game, my rules
And I can see, obviously
Baby you don't know
What it's like to be me

Do you know what it's like?
Do you know what it's like?

Don't you get it twisted boy
I want you too
But you got my heart to win
Before I let you in
And this deceives you baby
I'm not the average lady
I need someone to love

Baby, take the time to realize I'm
Not the kind to sacrifice
The way I am
So if you want to be my man (baby)

Walk a mile in my shoes
Do me right or I'm through
Can't you see that
If you want to stay around (I'm telling you)
You've got to figure me out
Take your time or you lose
This is my game, my rules
And I can see, obviously
Baby you don't know
What it's like to be me

Baby, get to know me
Then you can show me
That your love for me is true
I'll give you everything
That a girl can give
Don't you want to be my man?

Walk a mile in my shoes
Do me right or I'm through
Can't you see that
If you want to stay around (I'm telling you)
You've got to figure me out
Take your time or you lose
This is my game, my rules
And I can see, obviously
Baby you don't know
What it's like to be me

Walk a mile in my shoes
Do me right or I'm through
Can't you see that
If you want to stay around (I'm telling you)
You've got to figure me out
Take your time or you lose
This is my game, my rules
And I can see, obviously
Baby you don't know
What it's like to be me

Britney is the third studio album by American singer Britney Spears. It was released on October 31, 2001, by Jive Records.

Looking to transition from the teen pop styles of her first two studio albums ...Baby One More Time (1999) and Oops!... I Did It Again (2000), Spears began to embrace a significantly more mature sound with Britney. The record incorporates genres of pop and R&B with influences of EDM and occasionally dips into disco, hip hop, rock, and electronica. Its lyrical themes address the subjects such as coming of age, adulthood, control, and sexuality. Contributions to its production came from a variety of collaborators, including Max Martin and Rami Yacoub. Spears herself assumed a more prominent role in the album's development, co-writing six of its tracks.

Britney received generally mixed reviews from music critics, who complimented Spears' musical progression but criticized her increasingly provocative image. Regardless, the album was a global commercial success and debuted atop the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 746,000 copies, making Spears the first female artist to have her first three studio albums debut atop the chart, a record she would later break with her fourth studio album In the Zone (2003). The album received a nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 45th Annual Grammy Awards (2003). With worldwide sales of over 10 million copies, Britney is one of the best-selling albums of the 21st century.

Britney produced six singles. "I'm a Slave 4 U" reached the top ten in 20 countries but peaked only at number 27 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Spears's first lead single not to peak within the top ten. "Overprotected" also achieved international commercial success but peaked only at number 86 the US Billboard Hot 100.

"I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman", "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" and "Boys" reached the top ten in several countries but all failed to enter the US Billboard Hot 100, while "Anticipating" was released exclusively in France instead of "I Love Rock 'n' Roll". To further promote the album, Spears embarked on her fourth concert tour, titled Dream Within a Dream Tour, from November 2001 until July 2002.
