Description

A funny and hysterical song about a womanizer (in case you didn't notice from the title). Britney is the hysterial one, not him, he's just a poor little womanizer who happened to meet the wrong woman. Sob, sob. Just joking.

Transcript

Superstar
Where you from, how's it going?
I know you
Gotta clue what you’re doing?
You can play brand new to all the other chicks out here
But I know what you are, what you are, baby

Look at you
Gettin' more than just a re-up
Baby, you got all the puppets with their strings up
Fakin' like a good one, but I call 'em like I see 'em
I know what you are, what you are, baby

Daddy-O
You got the swagger of champion
Too bad for you
You just can't find the right companion
I guess when you have one too many, makes it hard
It could be easy
Who you are, that's just who you are, baby

Lollipop
Must mistake me, you're the sucker
To think that I
Would be a victim not another
Say it, play it how you wanna
But no way I'm never gonna fall for you, never you, baby

Comments and upload by Mike


HOW’S IT GOING?= How are you?

GOTTA CLUE WHAT YOU’RE DOING?= Have you got any idea of what you’re doing? Do you know what you’re doing?

BRAND NEW= Completely new

CHICKS= Girls (especially if you think they’re sexy and you want to pick them up. All of them. Well, one by one, of course).

YOU CAN PLAY BRAND NEW TO ALL THE OTHER CHICKS= The other girls don’t know you so for them you are somebody new, unknown, full of possibilities. But not for me, I know what you are and I’m not going to try you out. Yes, because I know you are a... ta-da! A WOMANIZER! (shoo, shoo).

RE-UP= An extension or improvement. This means that he’s not somebody really new, changed, just more of the old thing with a few improvements.

YOU GOT ALL THE PUPPETS WITH THEIR STRINGS UP= Puppets are little figures controlled by strings, but sometimes girls are called “puppets” when a boy is soooo cool they all love him and do anything he wants (cause he controls them like puppets). I suppose that saying all the puppets have their strings up means that he is controlling them all (if you pull a string up, you move a puppet).

FAKING LIKE A GOOD ONE= If you fake you pretend you are or you feel differently, it’s not your true self, so you are a liar. Faking like a good one means “lying like a professional”.

BUT I CALL ‘EM LIKE I SEE ‘EM= (‘em = them) But I reveal the truth and when I see a boy of your kind I say “WOMANIZER!”, because I call a spade a spade. If I see you green I say you’re green.

WOMANIZER= A man who likes many women and has short sexual relationships with them. A philanderer, a Casanova, a Don Juan.

BOY, DON’T TRY TO FRONT= Don’t try to pretend you are somebody else.

I KNOW JUST WHAT YOU ARE= Don’t front because I know exactly what you are, and you are a...  WOMANIZER!

YOU GOT ME GOING= You turn me on, you make me wanna uh, uh.

YOU’RE OH-SO CHARMING= You are, Oh my God! so so cute and lovable and sexy and nice and you make me wanna uh, uh... But I can’t do it because you’re a... WOMANIZER!

U= You

YA= You or Your or You’re.

YOU’RE NOTHING BUT A WOMANIZER= You are simply a womanizer.

DADDY-O= A way to address a man (like “hey, boy!”) showing no respect.

SWAGGER= A person's style- they way they walk, talk, dress.

TOO BAD FOR YOU YOU JUST CAN’T FIND THE RIGHT COMPANION= It’s a pity that you can’t find the right companion. The expression “too bad for you” is usually sarcastic (she’s not sorry for him, on the contrary).

I GUESS WHEN YOU HAVE ONE TOO MANY, MAKES IT HARD= I suppose that when you have so many women that they’re too many, it is difficult to settle with just one woman.

IT COULD BE EASY. THAT’S JUST WHO YOU ARE= Falling in love with just one woman could be easy, but not for you, because you are simply a... WOMANIZER! And womanizers are little bastards who can never fall in love or get true love because they are nasty little fellows and nobody loves them and... wait! I thought girls liked womanizers. Or maybe they don’t. Mmm, interesting, I’ll think about it.

LOLLIPOP= A sweet (spherical or circular) stuck at the end of a little stick. Children suck it. Adults suck it too, sometimes. Colloquially, lollipops are also called SUCKERS.

YOU’RE A SUCKER= You are a lollipop. But in English, a SUCKER is also someone who is very naïve, gullible, someone who believes anything easily. But another colloquial meaning (and I think this is it here) is “loser”. So “you’re a sucker” means “you suck! you’re disgusting, I despise you, you miserable bastard, get off my back you make me sick!” because you’re a... WOMANIZER!

LOLLIPOP / MUST MISTAKE ME YOU’RE A SUCKER / TO THINK... Well, this paragraph is a little bit mixed up, so let’s put it in the right order to understand it easily:

Lollipop (sucker)! You’re the sucker, not me, and you must mistake me for another person if you think I would be just another victim, someone who would play the way you want to, but no way (=absolutely no), I’m never going to fall in love with you, never with you, bastard.

YOU SAY I’M CRAZY= You say I must be crazy because I say you are a bad person.

I GOT YA CRAZY= You say that I’ve got you crazy (that I’m so cool and hot and sexy that you are crazy for me).

BUT CAN’T, CAUSE WE DON’T= But I can’t be your girl because we are not living in different worlds.

And now, the question of the century, if you get it right you can go to the Bahamas for one month. Well, you can go anywhere you want for as long as you want because it will be your money you’ll spend. So the question is:

Does Britney Spears like this boy? To be more precise, what exactly does Britney think of him?

Please, leave your answer in the comments section. If there are no winners in the next 20 years, I’ll go to the Bahamas myself.

Meaning

This song is about a man who is a... WOMANIZER! And Britney Spears knows him, and he's in love with her and... well, not exactly in love with her, he just wants to take her to bed, but she says she won't go with him because she knows him (probably went to bed with him before) and she knows he's a womanizer and she doesn't like womanizers because they womanize all the time and she doesn't want to be womanized (again) so she is very angry, basically because he's womanizing all the girls in town and she would like him to womanize her and nobody else, but that's not possible because he's a womanizer and womanizers are womanizing all the time, they can't help it, so she says, go away, you womanizer, leave me alone, I hate you, don't you ever try to womanize me again, go and womainze yourself, you sucker!
