Superstar
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
What you are, baby

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

Daddy-O
You got the swagger of a champion
Too bad for you
You just can't find the right companion

I guess when you have one too many
Makes it hard, it could be easy
Who you are
That's just who you are, baby

Lollipop
Must mistake me, you're the sucker
To think that I
Would be a victim, not another

Say it, play it, how you wanna?
But no way I'm ever gonna
Fall for you
Never you, baby

Maybe if
We both lived in a
Different world

Une chanson l'addition

Alors : Britney ou Beyoncé ?

leti77 letileti

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.

AbbyS.

Est-ce un hasard que cette vidéo tombe à 2 jours près sur l'anniversaire des 10 ans du "Leave Britney alone!" de Chris Crocker?
