Perfect Lover
.BRITNEY SPEARS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are we ready?
Are we ready, ready?
Are we ready?
Are we ready, ready?
Uh huh

My body feels like an inferno
Like I'm in a race and I'm jumping a hurdle
Come closer, we'll pursue it
If you just let go, we can do it
Baby, I'm yours for the taking
Don't you wanna see my body naked?
And I know you like the way I shake it
And I hope that you can take it

You're the perfect lover
I'm in love with all the things you do
So seductive when you touch me
I can't get enough of you
You're the best
Baby, you got me obsessed
And I can't catch my breath
Baby, I must confess you got me (ah, ah)
When you come around (ah, ah)
Got me so damn high, I can't come down
Every time you touch me there (ah, ah)
You make me feel so hot

I love it
Everything you do is so seductive
You got that thing that I want and then some
And I can't even front, so listen
I know what you're missing
Better hurry up, cause time is ticking
Tick tock, tick tock
Come and get me while I'm hot, now

You're the perfect lover
I'm in love with all the things you do
So seductive when you touch me
I can't get enough of you
You're the best
Baby, you got me obsessed
And I can't catch my breath
Baby, I must confess you got me (ah, ah)
When you come around (ah, ah)
Got me so damn high, I can't come down
Every time you touch me there (ah, ah)
You make me feel so hot

Pull up to my bumper
I need a jump, not a chump
Fill me up, I'm running low
Let me drive you crazy
All night cause we got so far to go
Pull up to my bumper
I need a jump, not a chump
Fill me up, I'm running low
Let me drive you crazy
All night cause we got so far to go

You're the perfect lover
I'm in love with all the things you do
So seductive when you touch me
I can't get enough of you
You're the best
Baby, you got me obsessed
And I can't catch my breath
Baby, I must confess you got me (ah, ah)
When you come around (ah, ah)
Got me so damn high, I can't come down




Every time you touch me there (ah, ah)
You make me feel so hot
