.BRITNEY SPEARS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I think I did it again
I made you believe we're more than just friends
Oh baby
It might seem like a crush
But it doesn't mean that I'm serious
That is just so typically me
Oh baby, baby
Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
Oops, you think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent
You see my problem is this
I'm dreaming away
Wishing that heroes, they truly exist
I cry, watching the days
Can't you see I'm a fool in so many ways
But to lose all my senses
That is just so typically me
Oh baby, oh
Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
Oops, you think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
All aboard
Britney, before you go, there's something I want you to have
Oh, it's beautiful, but wait a minute, isn't this?
Yeah, yes it is
But I thought the old lady dropped it into the ocean in the end
Well baby, I went down and got it for you
Aww, you shouldn't have
Oops, I did it again to your heart
Got lost in this game, oh baby
Oops, you think that I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent
Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
Oops, you think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent
Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
Oops, you think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent
In "Oops...I Did It Again," Britney Spears sings about a romantic game in which she enjoys manipulating someone's emotions. She acknowledges that this person might feel passionately for her, but she claims that it's all in good fun, as she does not have any true romantic feelings for him. She addresses her own personal weakness at losing her senses and acting impulsively. She also admits to being a fool in many ways, particularly in remaining hopeful that true heroes exist. The last verse of the song is a playful exchange between Spears and a male character who gives her an expensive gift, which she humorously accepts, repeating the chorus playfully.

20 years later, and still iconic.
**UPDATE** To clarify: This song and video were released in the year 2000, making it 20 years (as of 2020). The date shown on the video is the date it was uploaded to YouTube. Hint: YouTube wasn't around in the year 2000.

Edit: Some of you guys makes me want to scream with frustration. Yes, this video was uploaded by YouTube 10 years ago, but the actual single wasn't. IT WAS RELEASED YEAR 2-0-0-0, so that makes it 20 years now!
