Showdown
Britney Spears Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I just love to have that out
Just something a girl's gotta do, oh
Never thought I'd see you like this
You lookin' good when you're half dressed
Just let me give you one last test
Is that a sin, no
Am I too hot for you though
Did you check out my video
There's some things you don't do
Like this
I'll take you to spend in my way
Just give in when you are ready to play
Uh, like this
Here comes the showdown
What goes around comes around
And the crowds are waiting, oh
'Cause if we break up
Then we can make up
Shake my booty all night
Here comes the showdown, oh
I don't really want to be a tease
Would you undo my zipper, please
Uh uh, please don't talk
Listen
I'll let you touch me if you want
I see your body rise, rise
And when you come, don't get too hot
Butterfly
I'll take you to spend in my way
Just give in when you are ready to play
Like this
Here comes the showdown
What goes around comes around
And the crowds are waiting, oh
'Cause if we break up
Then we can make up
Shake my booty all night
Here comes the showdown, oh
Forget the tension
When we fight
You make it up
Turn down the light
It's just a lover's game we play, yeah
After the screaming's at an end
Why don't we all do it again
That's when the fun really begins
Oh, whoa
Here comes the showdown
What goes around comes around
And the crowds are waiting, oh
'Cause if we break up
Then we can make up
Shake my booty all night
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Here comes the showdown
Here comes the showdown, oh
What goes around comes around
The crowds are waiting, oh
Yeah
Here comes the showdown, oh
The lyrics to Britney Spears's song Showdown describe a flirtatious and playful encounter between Spears and her romantic interest. The verses detail Spears's seductive actions and playful teasing, while the chorus emphasizes the excitement of the impending "showdown" between the two lovers. The lyrics seem to suggest that the relationship between the two is playful and dynamic, prone to arguments and conflict, but ultimately always able to reconcile and find pleasure in each other's company.
The opening lines of the song ("Sometimes I just love to have that out/Just something a girl's gotta do") suggest that Spears sees her playful seduction as a form of female empowerment, a way for her to assert herself and take control of her own sexuality. The lyrics also make use of several sexual innuendoes and metaphors, such as "Would you undo my zipper, please" and "I see your body rise, rise." However, overall, the tone of the song is relatively light-hearted and playful, with a strong emphasis on fun, excitement, and pleasure.
Overall, the lyrics to Showdown offer an insight into Spears's fun-loving and flirtatious personality, as well as the nature of her relationships. By emphasizing the playful and dynamic nature of the relationship between Spears and her romantic interest, the song encourages listeners to embrace their own playful side and to approach their own relationships with a sense of humor and excitement.

That's when things get exciting
Here comes the showdown, oh
The moment is about to happen
