Britney Spears Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Countin', one, two, three
Peter, Paul and Mary
Gettin' down with 3P
Everybody loves, oh
(One, two)
(One, one, one, one, two, three)
(Counting one, two)
(Counting one, one, two, three)
Babe, pick a night
To come out and play
If it's alright
What do you say?
Merrier the more
Triple fun that way
Twister on the floor
What do you say?
Are you in
Livin' in sin is the new thing (yeah)
Are, you in
I am countin'
One, two, three
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Countin', one, two, three
Peter, Paul and Mary
Gettin' down with 3P
Everybody loves, oh
Countin', one, two, three
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Countin', one, two, three
Peter, Paul and Mary
Gettin' down with 3P
Everybody loves, oh
Three is a charm
Two is not the same
I don't see the harm
So are you game?
Lets' make a team
Make 'em say my name
Lovin' the extreme
Now are you game?
Are, you in
Livin' in sin is the new thing
Are, you in
I am countin'
One, two, three
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Countin', one, two, three
Peter, Paul and Mary
Gettin' down with 3P
Everybody loves, oh
Countin', one, two, three
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Countin', one, two, three
Peter, Paul and Mary
Gettin' down with 3P
Everybody loves, oh
What we do is innocent
Just for fun and nothin' meant
If you don't like the company
Let's just do it you and me
You and me
Or three
Or four
On the floor
One, two, three
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Countin', one, two, three
Peter, Paul and Mary
Gettin' down with 3P
Everybody loves, oh
Countin', one, two, three
Not only you and me
Got one eighty degrees
And I'm caught in between
Countin', one, two, three
Peter, Paul and Mary
Gettin' down with 3P
Everybody loves, oh
The meaning behind Britney Spears' "3" is a little unclear, however, it seems to hint at group sex, experimentation, and bisexuality. The song tells the story of Britney exploring her sexuality with multiple partners. The chorus talks about "one-eighty degrees" and being "caught in between," referencing her position between multiple partners. The numbers, one, two, three, are also repeated throughout the song, suggesting three people are involved in the sexual encounters. The line "livin' in sin is the new thing" also suggests that Britney is pushing societal boundaries with her sexual experimentation.
The verse "What we do is innocent, just for fun and nothin' meant" alludes to Britney not wanting a serious relationship, but just wanting to explore and have fun. The lyrics also suggest a playful and consensual attitude towards sex, with lines like "the merrier the more" and "let's make a team, make 'em say my name."
Overall, the lyrics of "3" are suggestive and playful, making it a popular dance hit.

@CutiePie-bj3ej
What I do with this cash is innocent
Just for fun and nothing else
If you don't like the way I deal
Maybe I'll tell you how many mill
That I make
One or two
Or threeeee.... or four.... all my dollars on the floor
1,2,3
Not for you, only me
Getting 180 per month
And I'm caught in between counting
1,2,3
Fed, Just and both of my kids
Getting down with 3M
Everybody loves... ooh!
Money
