Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, can't you see
I'm calling
A guy like you should wear a warning
It's dangerous
I'm falling

There's no escape
I can't wait
I need a hit
Baby, give me it
You're dangerous
I'm loving it

Too high
Can't come down
Losin' my head
Spinnin' 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now?

Oh,
The taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With a taste of a 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's 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?

Oh,
Taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With the taste of a 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?

(Oh, oh)

Taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With a taste of a poison paradise

I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?

With the taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With a taste of the 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 think I'm ready now

Overall Meaning

Toxic by Britney Spears is a song about the dangerous and addictive nature of a relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer is "falling" for a man who is "dangerous" and "toxic," but she cannot help herself because she is "addicted" to him. She describes the experience of being with this man as being on a "ride" and feeling intoxicated by his love, using metaphors of poison and addiction throughout the song.


The lyrics also convey a sense of urgency and desperation, as the singer is unable to resist the man's pull and feels like she is "slipping under." She takes a sip from her "devil's cup" and feels like she is being taken over by the intoxicating influence of the relationship. The chorus repeats the idea that the man is "toxic" and "addictive" while also expressing a sense of pleasure and desire for him.


Overall, Toxic is a song about the dangers of falling for someone who is not good for us, but also the thrill and excitement that can come with such a relationship. The lyrics are cleverly crafted to use metaphors of addiction and poison to convey the intense feelings of desire and danger that the singer feels for this man.

As a kid that didn't understand any English, I used to think this was called 'Taxi'

For the people that are asking, I'm Dutch. The word "taxi" was the only thing I heard in that entire song that sounded like a word I knew back then.
