Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where you from, how's it going?
I know you
Got a clue, what you doing?
You can play brand new to
All the other chicks out here
But I know what you are
Look at you
Gettin' more than just a re-up
Baby you
Got all the puppets with their strings up
Fakin' like a good one
But I call 'em like I see 'em
I know what you are
What you are, baby
Womanizer, woman-womanizer
You're a womanizer
Oh, womanizer, oh
You're a womanizer, baby
You, you, you are

Boy don't try to front, uh, I
Know just, just, what you are, ah, ah

Too bad for you

Makes it hard, it could be easy
Who you are

But no way I'm ever gonna
Fall for you
Never you, baby

The song "Womanizer" by Britney Spears talks about a man who is a womanizer, a person who manipulates women for his own benefit. The song challenges this man by calling him out for his behavior and refusing to fall for his tricks. Spears is portrayed in the song as someone who sees through the man's façade and knows exactly who he is, even if he tries to hide it.
The chorus repeats the word "womanizer" to make it clear what the song is about. Spears sings about how the man may try to play it cool with her, but she's not falling for his act. She also calls out his behavior by pointing out that he has all the "puppets" under his control, but she's not one of them. The song is a message to both men who manipulate women and women who may be falling for their tricks, encouraging them to see through the façade.
Overall, "Womanizer" has a catchy beat and memorable chorus that made it one of Spears' most successful hits. The song's lyrics and message also struck a chord with many people who related to the theme of not wanting to be taken advantage of by someone who is insincere.

Alors : Britney ou Beyoncé ?

Britney Spears c'est la Princesse de POP Music des années 2000& Beyoncé c'est la Princesse du R'N'B Music des années 2000.😊
ADDAMS
Clairement Britney.
Beyoncé est super bien sûr, beaucoup de talent évidemment.
Mais elle touche moins, l'on ne sait rien sur elle. Plus froide, moins touchante et moins humaine.
Nicolas DUBOS
Britney juste pour ça "if you seek amy" "F U C K ME" ... j'adore les rebelles.
