Lonely
♥ Britney Spears Lyrics

To think I'm so naive
I can't believe I was so innocent and trusting

How dare you play with me?
You had no right to manipulate and toy with my emotions

I gave you heart and soul, yeah
I loved you completely, with all that I am

Tell me baby, please
I need you to explain yourself and your actions

Why you screwing with my head?
Why are you messing with my mind and making me feel crazy?

I don't think you understand
I don't believe you really comprehend the depth of the pain you've caused

I won't take your (huh) no more
I refuse to tolerate your lies and mistreatment any longer

Don't knock on my door
Don't bother trying to come back into my life

Not this time, because I recognize
I'm smarter now and won't be fooled again

Think of all the time that I wasted
I'm reflecting on all the moments I lost to you

Think of all the times that I took you back
I kept giving you chances even when you didn't deserve them

Ain't no way I'll be lonely
I won't be alone just because you're not around

I don't want to let you back in
I'm done with you and moving on

Let's just face it
We need to be honest with ourselves

Better off alone and I won't turn back
I'm better without you and not looking back

You thought that I would be lonely
You assumed I would need you to avoid being lonely

Don't tell me how to feel
You don't have the right to dictate my emotions

Or say that you're for real
I don't trust your sincerity anymore

My mind's made up, I'm cool without you
I'm decided on my own and don't need you

You got no more appeal
You're not attractive or interesting to me anymore

Now this girl don't need no man
I'm an independent woman who doesn't rely on a man

Says what she can do what she can
I can do whatever I want and whatever I'm capable of

Now I live for me
I'm living my life for myself and not for anyone else

Boy, does that make you weep?
Does it make you sad that I don't need you anymore?

Think of times
Remember the moments

You made me cry
You caused me sadness and tears

You had me so confused
You made me feel lost and uncertain

I'm tired of trying
I'm exhausted from attempting to make this work

Leave behind this
Move on from this situation

What's a girl to do?
I'm unsure of what my next steps should be

I think of all the times you made me sick
I remember how your behavior made me physically ill

I used to think I couldn't handle it
I thought I was weak and couldn't handle the pain you caused me

What you think, I'm just another chick?
Do you think I'm one of many women you can treat this way?

Messed with Brit, boy, you must have tripped
If you messed with Britney Spears, you must be foolish or delusional

What were you thinking when you lost my trust?
You made terrible choices when you destroyed my faith in you

You had it all now you're left with nothing
You destroyed what we had and are now left with nothing

Oh baby, now I know you want my touch
You realize now what you had and want to come back to me

And now you're lonely and you still want me
But it's too late, because I've moved on and won't take you back
