The lyrics of "Womanizer" by ♥Britney Spears♥ describe a woman who knows exactly what a man is up to, calling him a womanizer. She sees through his façade of being charming and alluring to all the girls he meets, and she is not going to fall for his tricks. The singer realizes that this man has no intention of settling down and is only interested in casual relationships with multiple women, hence calling him a womanizer several times. Although the woman describes herself as crazy, the man has played with her emotions, leading her to act erratically. The song's meaning is clear - the woman is telling this man that she's smart enough to identify his manipulative behavior and will not be another one of his conquests.
