Britney Spears Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I want your attention in this room
Your eyes on mine
Sit you down, hop onto your pot of gold
You make me come alive

Swing it to the left, swing it to the right
Strutting on the stage, center of the lights
Dripping in smiles, they come on down
Take your seat now

Put on a private show
Pull the curtains until they close
I put on a private show
We'll be whiling all on the low
Work it, work it, boy watch me work it
Slide down my pole, watch me spin it and twerk it
Work it, work it, boy watch me work it
Slide down my pole, watch me spin it and twerk it
Put on a private show
Pull the curtains until they close
I put on a private show
We'll be whiling all on the low

We don't need crowds, we just need us
Put my feelings up, about to be rough
All my tricks, they're spectacular
My encore is immaculate

Swing it to the left, swing it to the right
Strutting on the stage, center of the lights
Dripping in smiles, they come on down
Take your seat now

Put on a private show
Pull the curtains until they close
I put on a private show
We'll be whiling all on the low
Work it, work it, boy watch me work it
Slide down my pole, watch me spin it and twerk it
Work it, work it, boy watch me work it
Slide down my pole, watch me spin it and twerk it
Put on a private show
Pull the curtains until they close
I put on a private show
We'll be whiling all on the low

Strut it out, strut it out, eyes on me (eyes on me)
Watch me strike a pose, feel my heat (feel my heat)
Spin around, spin around, three-sixty
Ain't no boundaries here, the camera speaks
Ooh, ooh, baby, baby
Ooh, ooh, baby, baby
Ooh, ooh, so entertaining
Ooh, ooh

Put on a private show
Pull the curtains until they close
I put on a private show
We'll be whiling all on the low
Work it, work it, boy watch me work it
Slide down my pole, watch me spin it and twerk it
Work it, work it, boy watch me work it
Slide down my pole, watch me spin it and twerk it
Put on a private show
Pull the curtains until they close
I put on a private show
We'll be whiling all on the low

Curtains are closing now
Guess that's the end
Can we go again?
Can we do it all again?
Nah, I'll take a bow
Up, down, run it 'round




Tasting all my apple pie
Apple pie, satisfy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Show" by Britney Spears & Nelly Furtado (feat.Timbaland) describe a private and intimate performance between two people. Britney Spears sings about wanting the attention of her partner and making him feel alive, while Nelly Furtado talks about the tricks and poses that make her performance spectacular. The chorus emphasizes their desire for privacy, and they invite their partner to watch them work it while they slide down the pole and twerk it.


The song can be interpreted as a metaphor for a sexual encounter or a performance that showcases the talents and sensuality of the two artists. The lyrics hint at the idea that this is not their first private show, and they enjoy indulging in this intimate activity together. The song celebrates female empowerment and the freedom to express one's sexuality without judgment.


The chorus of the song has become a popular catchphrase among fans of Britney Spears and Nelly Furtado. The song was featured on Britney Spears' album "Britney Jean" and was produced by Timbaland.
