Kill the Lights
Britney Spears Lyrics

You're on
It's time to begin the show.

I think I'm ready for my close up
I'm ready to take center stage.

You don't like me
I know you don't have kind feelings towards me.

I don't like you, it don't matter (who?)
I don't have to like you and it doesn't affect me.

Only difference
There's only one dissimilarity between the two of us.

You still listen, I don't have to (who?)
You keep listening to what I say, but I don't need to listen to your words.

In one ear and
Your words go in one ear and out the other for me.

Out the other, I don't need you (who?)
What you say doesn't matter to me and I don't need you.

Your words don't stick
Your words don't have any impact on me.

I ain't perfect, but you ain't either (who?)
I may not be perfect, but neither are you.

If your feeling froggy leap (oh)
If you're feeling brave, try to challenge me.

I ain't even losin' sleep (oh)
I'm not even worried about it.

There's more to me than what you see (oh)
There's a lot more to me than what meets the eye.

You wouldn't like me when I'm angry
You won't like the outcome if you make me angry.

Mr. Photographer
The person who takes pictures of me.

Make sure you catch me from my good side (pick one)
Be sure to get my best angle while taking my picture.

These others (ha) just wanna be me
Others try to imitate me, but can't match my greatness.

Is that money in your pocket?
Do you have cash with you?

Or you happy to see me?
Or are you just happy to see me?

Kill the Lights!
Turn off the bright lights.

(Take 'em out, turn 'em off, break 'em down)
Switch off or break the lights altogether.

(Don't be scared, make a move, see me now?)
Don't be afraid, approach me now and see me clearly.

(I feel you, watching me, watching you)
I sense you observing me while I'm observing you.

(You can't handle the truth)
You're not ready to hear the honest reality.

What happened to you?
What's gone wrong with you?

The lights pure
The brightness is real and bright.

The lights satis
The brightness is fulfilling.

The lights faction
The brightness creates a faction, a group of like-minded people.

The lights lights
The bright lights.

The lights camera
The cameras with bright flashing lights.

The lights action
The commotion created by the bright lights and cameras.

All the flashin', tryin' to cash-in
All the bright flashing lights, trying to make money.

Hurts my eyes
It's too much for me to handle and causes me physical discomfort.

All the poses, out of focus
All the people trying to look like me are out of focus.

I despise
I hate it and find it annoying.

Eff me over, your exposure
Your actions have caused me harm and affected my public image.

Not the best
It didn't work out well for me.

You want me bad, I want you out
You are really interested in me, but I wish you would leave me alone.

Release this stress.
Let go of this tension and let me be.

You're the star now, welcome to the big league
You are the center of attention now, and welcome to the big stage.

They all want a pic, they all wanna see, see, see
Everyone wants to take a picture with you and see more of you.

What you're made of, what you're gonna do
People want to know what you're capable of and what you're going to achieve.

Is life gonna get the best of you?
Will the struggles and challenges of life defeat you?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Just an affirmation or emphasis to the song.
