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
You're a womanizer, baby

You, you, you are
You, you, you are
Womanizer, womanizer
Womanizer

Boy don't try to front, uh, I
Know just, just, what you are, ah, ah
Boy don't try to front, uh, I
Know just, just, what you are, ah, ah
You got me going
You're oh so charming
But I can't do it
You womanizer
Boy don't try to front, uh, I

You're nothing but a
Womanizer

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

Womanizer, woman-womanizer
You're a womanizer
Oh, womanizer, oh
You're a womanizer, baby

You, you, you are
You, you, you are
Womanizer, womanizer

You're nothing but a
Womanizer

Maybe if
We both lived in a
Different world
(Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer, womanizer)

It would be all good
And maybe I could be your girl
But I can't
'Cause we don't

Womanizer, woman-womanizer

Overall Meaning

The song Womanizer by Benny Benassi vs. Britney Spears is about a man who is a womanizer and the woman who is onto him. The first few lines "Superstar, Where you from, how's it going?" introduces the man who thinks he is a superstar and can get any woman he wants. However, the woman who sings the song says she knows him and knows what he truly is. The chorus of the song repeats the word "womanizer" where the woman accuses the man of being a womanizer.

The second verse talks about how the man portrays himself like a good person, but the woman calls him out on his act. The lines "You got me going, You're oh so charming, But I can't do it" portray how the man tries to charm the woman, but she knows who he truly is and does not want to fall for his tricks. The bridge "Maybe if we both lived in a different world, It would be all good, And maybe I could be your girl, But I can't' Cause we don't" talks about how the woman knows the man is not someone she wants to be with, even if they were in a different world.
