Lucky
Britney Spears Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Early morning, she wakes up
Knock, knock, knock on the door
It's time for make-up, perfect smile
It's you they're all waiting for
They go
Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?
Lost in an image, in a dream
But there's no one there to wake her up
And the world is spinning, and she keeps on winning
But tell me what happens when it stops?
They go
Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?
And they say
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night? (Oh)
(I, I, yeah, oh) Whoa
Best actress, and the winner is Lucky (whoa)
(I, I, yeah, oh) Whoa
I'm Roger Johnson for Pop News
Standing outside the arena waiting for Lucky
Oh my God here she comes
Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?
She is so lucky, but why does she cry?
If there is nothing missing in her life
Why do tears come at night?
And they say she's so lucky (so lucky), she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?
(She is) She's so lucky (so lucky)
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?

I wouldn’t mind if Britney retired, she gave us over 20+ years of pure entertainment and of course timeless music... I just want her to be able to someday be free and live her life FOR HER. Shame on every single predator who took advantage of Her. #FREEBRITNEY
@bw2937
Well.... her producers did lol
@bw2937
@chile anyways so Who else then? Stylists, promoters etc?
@bw2937
@Jane • Like every popstar. Without these people you wouldn't even have know who she was. She's a product.
@bw2937
@Jane • What part was a lie? Tell me what part you thought was a lie so I can prove it wasn't, thanks.
@bw2937
@Jane • How would you know what other pop stars have been through? Also, do you work in the music industry and know how it operates? Well I do. And trust me, few 'artists' actually do anything. They are signed purely on looks and distinctive vocal tone so they stand out. Be a Max Martin fan like me if you love the songs. I love the music, I just get annoyed when people give the credit to the 'face'.

Britney deserves everything in the world, she's so precious. It's very devastating to see no one helped her at her worst.
@charryneleenecanoy8856
True..and even judged her at worst
@BrittneyG-tj5nq
Yes they did silly an that makes her even stronger cause it's harder to ask for help when people think she's a pretty face an rich and that'll solve all problems no she got help from people that uplifted her through those hardest times she was never by herself always had people that would be there for her through good an the bad an now she's more beautiful inside than even her outside an people will love her truly because of that
@BrittneyG-tj5nq
Only people that aren't perfect can now love her more an know they can be venerable around her an true without pretending to be someone that she wants them to be real friends an real relationship
