Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sitting in the mirror, getting pretty
Gotta look my best if we gonna break up
Gotta look my best if we gonna break up
I can hear you knocking at the front door
And I know exactly what you came for
Trying to say goodbye but it's hot and heavy
Trying to say goodbye but it's hot and heavy
You
Touch me and it's breaking me down
And me down, and me down, and me down
I'm telling you, let's just give it up
And get down, and get down, and get down
So come on
Won't you give me something to remember?
Baby, shut your mouth and turn me inside out
Even though we couldn't last forever
Baby, you know what I want right now
Hit me one more time, it's so amazing
How you shook my world and flipped it upside down
You're the only one who ever drove me crazy
'Cause you know me inside out
Inside out
I know that we probably shouldn't do this
Wake up in the morning feeling stupid
Said that we were done but you're all up on me
Said that we were done but you're all up on me
Tell me how we got in this position
Guess I gotta get you out my system
Trying to let you go but it's not that easy
Trying to let you go but it's not that easy
You
Touch me and it's breaking me down,
And me down, and me down, and me down
I'm telling you, let's just give it up
And get down, and get down, and get down
So come on
Won't you give me something to remember?
Baby, shut your mouth and turn me inside out
Even though we couldn't last forever
Baby, you know what I want right now
Hit me one more time, it's so amazing
How you shook my world and flipped it upside down
You're the only one who ever drove me crazy
'Cause you know me inside out
Inside out, inside out
So come on
Won't you give me something to remember?
Baby, shut your mouth and turn me inside out
Even though we couldn't last forever
Baby, you know what I want right now
Hit me one more time, it's so amazing
How you shook my world and flipped it upside down
You're the only one who ever drove me crazy
'Cause you know me inside out
The lyrics of Britney Spears' song "Inside Out" revolve around a tumultuous relationship that seems to be on the verge of breaking up. Britney sings about trying to look her best for her partner, even if she knows the end of the relationship is near. She describes the physical and emotional sensation of being touched by this person and how it's breaking her down. Despite knowing that they shouldn't be together, Britney and her partner keep ending up in situations where they are all over each other. The chorus is an invitation to her partner to give her something to remember, to let him turn her inside out, and to give in to their physical connection.
Through the song, Britney seems to be acknowledging the difficulties of a relationship that is passionate but ultimately unsustainable. Even though she knows that the person is no good for her and they're likely to break up, she's still drawn to them and is struggling to let go. The lyrics tap into the universal experience of being in a relationship that's both exhilarating and exhausting, where the highs are incredible, but the lows can be unbearable.
