Oh baby baby, how was I supposed to know
That something wasn't right here
Oh baby baby, I shouldn't have let you go
And now you're out of sight yeah
Show me how you want it to be
Tell me baby, cuz I need to know now, oh, because

My loneliness is killing me (And I)

I must confess I still believe (Still believe)
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign, hit me baby one more time

Oh baby baby, the reason I breathe is you
Boy you've got me blinded
Oh pretty baby, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
That's not the way I planned it
Show me how you want it to be
Tell me baby cuz I need to know now, oh, because

Oh baby baby, how was I supposed to know
Oh pretty baby, I shouldn't have let you go
I must confess that my loneliness is killing me now
Don't you know I still believe

That you will be here and give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time

Overall Meaning

The song "Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears, written by Max Martin, is a young girl's heartbreaking plea to her ex-lover to come back to her. The lyrics, sung in a poppy, upbeat tune, are a mix of youthful longing and hopelessness. The song begins with the girl, confused as to why her boyfriend left her in the first place. She didn't know what was wrong and eventually let him go, only to regret it later. She wants to know how to make things right and how to win him back. Her loneliness is starting to get the best of her, and she still believes that they belong together, even though they're apart.

The chorus of the song, "My loneliness is killing me, I must confess I still believe," highlights the girl's desperation for her lover's return. She feels like she's losing her mind without him. She asks him to give her a sign and hit her once more for her to feel alive. The second verse shows how much the girl depends on her lover. She says, "The reason I breathe is you." She's blinded by his love and is willing to do anything to have him back. However, she realizes that things didn't go as planned, and she needs him to let her know how he wants things to be, so she won't make the same mistake again.

Overall, "Baby One More Time" is a coming-of-age song about a young girl's first heartbreak. The song's lyrical content is cleverly hidden behind its catchy tune, making it a popular hit with listeners worldwide.
