Oh baby, baby
Oh baby, baby
Oh baby, baby
How was I supposed to know
That something wasn't right here
Oh baby baby
I shouldn't have let you go
And now you're out of sight, yeah
Show me, how you want it to be
Tell me baby
'Cause I need to know now what we've got

[CHORUS:]
My loneliness is killing me
I must confess, I still believe
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time

Oh baby, baby
The reason I breathe is you
Boy you got me blinded
Oh baby, baby
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
That's not the way I planned it
Show me, how you want it to be
Tell me baby
'Cause I need to know now what we've got

[Repeat CHORUS]

Oh baby, baby
Oh baby, baby
Ah, yeah, yeah
Oh baby, baby
How was I supposed to know
Oh pretty baby
I shouldn't have let you go
I must confess, that my loneliness
Is killing me now
Don't you know I still believe
That you will be here
And give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time

[Repeat CHORUS]

I must confess that my loneliness
Is killing me now
Don't you know I still believe
That you will be here
And give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time

Baby, can¡¦t you see
I¡¦m calling
A guy like you
Should wear a warning
It¡¦s dangerous
I¡¦m fallin¡¦

There¡¦s no escape
I can¡¦t hide
I need a hit
Baby, give me it
You¡¦re dangerous
I¡¦m lovin¡¦ it

Too high
Can¡¦t come down
Losing my head
Spinning ¡¥round and ¡¥round
Do you feel me now

With a taste of your lips
I¡¦m on a ride
You¡¦re toxic
I¡¦m slipping under
With a taste of poison paradise
I¡¦m addicted to you
Don¡¦t you know that you¡¦re toxic
And I love what you do
Don¡¦t you know that you¡¦re toxic

It¡¦s getting late
To give you up
I took a sip
From my devil cup
Slowly
It¡¦s taking over me

Too high
Can¡¦t come down
It¡¦s in the air
And it¡¦s all around
Can you feel me now

With a taste of your lips
I¡¦m on a ride
You¡¦re toxic
I¡¦m slipping under
With a taste of poison paradise
I¡¦m addicted to you
Don¡¦t you know that you¡¦re toxic
And I love what you do
Don¡¦t you know that you¡¦re toxic

Don't you know that you're toxic

With a tast of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic
I'm slipping under
With a taste of poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic

Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now
I think I'm ready now
Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I'm ready now

Britney Jean Spears (born 1981) is an American recording artist and entertainer. Born in McComb, Mississippi and raised in Kentwood, Louisiana, Spears began performing as a child, landing acting roles in stage productions and television shows. Spears made her local stage debut at age five, singing "What Child Is This?" at her kindergarten graduation. She said about her ambition as a child, "I was in my own world, [...] I found out what I'm supposed to do at an early age".[12] At age eight, Spears and her mother Lynne traveled to Atlanta for an audition in the 1990s revival of The Mickey Mouse Club. Casting director Matt Cassella rejected her for being too young to join the series at the time, but introduced her to Nancy Carson, a New York City talent agent. Carson was impressed with Spears's vocals and suggested enrolling her at the Professional Performing Arts School; shortly after, Lynne and her daughters moved to a sublet apartment in New York.

나의 생각

미국 매스컴과 매거진의 표지에 브리트니 스피어스만큼 자주 오른 가수도 없었던 것 같다. 미국 연예인의 대명사로 불리울 만큼 말이 많았고 제멋대로 살아가는 것을 보면 한편으로는 "제 정신이야?" 하다가도 내심 부럽게 살다 가는 사람 같다. 음악성이 그리 있는 것도 아니고, 춤을 기가 막히게 추는 것도 아니지만 "하고 싶은 말"을 몸과 음악을 통해 마음껏 발산하면서 살아가니 말이다. 흉을 보면서도 다들 부러워 한다.

브리트니 스피어스의 곡들은 10대, 20대의 미국소녀들이 남자들에게, 부모들에게 그리고 사회에 하고 싶은 말을 대변하고 있다. 그래서 그녀의 새 음반이 나오면 미국소녀들이 정신을 못차린다. 덩달아 미국남자 아이들까지 부추긴다. 바지의 라인이 허리에서 엉덩이로 내려가다 허리를 훌러덩 벗고 나오는가 싶더니 발가벗고 누어서 "니들, 바람둥이들아! 나를 꼬시려고? 난 니가 생각하는 그런 쉬운 여자가 아니야?" 하면서 발로 뻥차는 것을 보면 "크크" 웃음이 절로 나온다. 미국여자가 미국남자들을 대하는 태도를 엿볼 수도 있고 반대로 미국남자가 미국여자를 대하는 태도를 엿볼 수도 있다. "귀여운 니 발톱이라도 빨아 줄테니 나랑 같이 있어줘!" 하고 애원하는 미국남자들. 젊고 예쁜 여자만 보면 자신이 어떻게 생겼든 사죽을 못쓴다. 우리나라에선 예쁘장한 여자아이들을 보면, "에헴" 하고 모르는 척 하는데 비해 미국에선 그냥 "보는 것은 공짜"다. 루즈벨트 몰에 샤핑을 하러 갔다가 재미있는 광경을 목격했다. 몰 중간에 놓아둔 고객용 쇼파에 앉아 있던 나이 좀 먹은 백인 남자와 흑인 남자가 각기 자신의 와이프를 기다리는지 앉아 있다가 바로 옆 상점에서 일하는 미끈한 다리를 가진 숏 스커트 차림의 섹시한 여자가 왔다갔다 하는 것을 보고  침을 질질 흘리면서 눈이 뚫어져라 하면서 바라보고 있는 것이 아닌가? 두 남자는 제각기 저 젊고 섹시한 여자의 연인이 되어 꿈을 꾸고 있다. 조금 뒤에 하마같이 큰 그들의 와이프가 와서 이 두남자를 건져 갈 것이다. 하마의 손에 붙잡혀 가면서 하는 말, "아, 꿈이었군. 하지만 황홀한 꿈이었어." 브리트니 스피어스는 그 이상도 그 이하도 아닌 미국의 재미난 현실을 그대로 노래해서 돈을 벌고, 부러움을 살만큼 버르장머리 없게 살아가고 있다.


주위에선 아이가 아이를 낳았다고 걱정이 대단하지만 본인은 그렇게 생각하는 것 같지 않다. 우리는 다 아이로 살다가 죽는 것이 아닐까?
