Hooked On
Britney Spears Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My mama told me go on and let you go
Said you would be more problems than I'd ever know
Said if he's gonna go then let him go away
But then I get the urge
It hurts so bad (damn)
When I feel the thirst
It makes me mad
I look up in my bed
I look up and there is your face

You love it, you love it
I'm so hooked on it (hooked on it)
You want it, you want it
You're so good
On a good day
Sugarfall
Your sugarfall
You make my sugarfall (sugarfall)
You know you want it bad, babe

I heard it in the streets
You got another girl
Yes, it did sting
But didn't shatter my world (I'm ok)
You should catch me now
When I'm in the fall of a state

You're probably thinking to yourself
This just aint me
On the contrary
I was your freak (I was your freak)
Hit me one more time
And trust me I'll be ok
Hey

You love it, you love it
I'm so hooked on it (hooked on it)
You want it, you want it
You're so good
On a good day
Sugarfall
Your sugarfall
You make my sugarfall (sugarfall)
You know you want it bad, babe

Now I will be a bad chick
If I rounded up my clothes
And headed over straight to the door
You wouldn't have a clue
Of what you should do

If I left you laying longing for more

You'd be like baby don't go (don't go)
Baby
Want some more?
You want some more?
Baby don't go (just don't go)
Said baby please listen
Don't you just go

Do you lick your lips?
When you stand alone
Well you got no x-ray vision
Staring through my clothes
Are you sure that you're prepared
For what comes serves on its plate
Wait a minute
Oooh, I'm having second thoughts
See my hearts on fault
Could you pass my shorts?
Don't you got a girl?
Till then
I'm sorry, you must wait
Especially since I know

You love it, you love it
I'm so hooked on it (hooked on it)
You want it, you want it
You're so good
On a good day
Sugarfall
Your sugarfall
You make my sugarfall (sugarfall)
You know you want it bad, babe
Hey girl
I'm so hooked on it (hooked on it)
You want it, you want it
You're so good
On a good day
Sugarfall
Your sugarfall
You make my sugarfall (sugarfall)
You know you want it bad, babe
Hey girl





You know you want it
So come and get it

Overall Meaning

In this song, Britney Spears is torn between her desire for a man who her mother has warned her would be trouble, and her need to distance herself from him. She is addicted to the man, in spite of her better judgement, and can't help but crave him even though she knows it will hurt her later on. She heeds the warning from her mother and tries to let him go, but she can't resist the temptation and keeps coming back to him. The chorus emphasizes her addiction to him, describing how she is "hooked" on him and how he makes her "sugar fall," a metaphor for how he makes her feel.



One of the interesting facts about the song is that it was produced by The Neptunes, a production duo consisting of Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo. The Neptunes have produced many popular songs for artists such as Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, and Gwen Stefani.


Another interesting fact is that the song was originally going to be included on Britney's 2004 album "In the Zone," but was eventually left off. It was later released on a Japan-only bonus CD for her 2007 album "Blackout."


The song has been noted for its sexual lyrics, with lines like "Do you lick your lips? When you stand alone / Well you got no x-ray vision / Staring through my clothes" being particularly suggestive.


"Hooked On" was not released as a single, but has still managed to become a fan favorite over the years.


Some fans have speculated that the song is about Britney's ex-husband Kevin Federline, who she married in 2004 and divorced in 2007.


Another interesting fact is that the song was originally titled "Sugarfall," but was later retitled "Hooked On."


The song includes a brief reference to Britney's hit single "Baby One More Time," with the lyrics "Hit me one more time / And trust me I'll be ok."


Although the song was never performed live by Britney, many fans have created their own choreography and dance covers for the song.


The overall vibe of the song, with its distorted vocals and repetitive beat, is reminiscent of a number of other songs produced by The Neptunes during the early 2000s.


The chords for "Hooked On" are not readily available, as Britney Spears has not released official sheet music or chord charts for the song.

Until then

Hey, you

You know you desire it

So, come and have it

Cannot believe this wasn't released. This song is fantastic - Summer-Jam worthy, for sure.
