Keeps Gettin' Better
Christina Aguilera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm driving out of control
And getting ready to crash
Won't stop shaking up what I can
I serve it up in a shot
So suck it down like a man
So baby yes I know what I am
And no I don't give a damn
And you'll be loving it
Some days I'm a super bitch
Up to my old tricks
But it won't last forever
Next day I'm your super girl
Out to save the world
And it keeps gettin' better
Kiss kiss gonna tell you right now
I'll make it sweet on the lips as it can knock you out
Shut up I don't care what you say
Cuz when we both in the ring you're gonna like it my way
Yeah baby there's a villain in me so sexy sour and sweet
And you'll be loving it
Some days I'm a super bitch (super bitch)
Up to my old tricks
But it won't last forever (last forever, noo)
Next day I'm your super girl (super girl)
Out to save the world
And it keeps gettin' better
Hold on
It keeps gettin' better
Hold on
It keeps gettin' better
In the blink of an eye
In the speed of the light
I'll hold the universe up
And make your planets collide
When I strap on my boots
And I slip on my suit
You see the vixen in me
Becomes an angel for you
Some days I'm a super bitch (super bitch)
Up to my old tricks
But it won't last forever (last forever, noo)
Next day I'm your super girl (super girl)
Out to save the world
And it keeps gettin' better
Some days I'm a super bitch (super bitch)
Up to my old tricks
But it won't last forever (oh no)
Next day I'm your super girl (super girl)
Out to save the world
And it keeps gettin' better
Hold on
It keeps gettin' better
Hold on
It keeps gettin' better

What I love about Christina is the variety of her music. There's bound to be an album of hers you like because each album is a different genre.
@Clonehalle
I love all of her albums too ❤
@pistachiosandpopcorn7146
Well..they aren't all a different genre. But they are all quite different. She was able to really transform her style to different things and have it work.
