Just like a Circus


Britney's much hyped about come-back is going quite well.

Her 'Womanizer' single is still all over the charts however rubbish and 80's-lame it is.

Her next single 'Circus' (hence the album's name-sake track) is doing rather fine too.


Quite ingenius a song really.

For her to really get back on her feet, she went back to her roots and collaborated with Max Martin, the producer who made her big in the first place with songs like 'Baby one More Time' , 'Crazy' and 'Lucky' ; her well-known showy dance numbers.

The song obviously hints at her loose love life (if you're not intimidated by her star presence you could apparently hook up with her quite easily she says) , pop-star train wreck tendencies and the media swirl that she is.


And yet, brings focus to her favourite place and comfort zone, the dance floor. Where her narcissistic streak is rampant and sexy-wild.



Lyrics:

"There's only two types of people in the world
The ones that entertain, and the ones that observe
Well baby, I'm a put on a show kind of girl
Don't like the back seat, gotta be first

I'm like the ring leader, I call the shots
I'm like a firecracker, I make it hot
When I put on a show


I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
I'm like a performer, the dance floor is my stage
Better be ready, hope that you feel the same

All eyes on me in the center of the ring,
Just like a circus

When I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip,
Just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me,
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor,
Just like a circus

There's only two types of guys out there
Ones that can hang with me, and ones that are scared
So baby, I hope that you came prepared
I run a tight ship, so beware

I'm like the ring leader, I call the shots
I'm like a firecracker, I make it hot
When I put on a show

I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
I'm like a performer, the dance floor is my stage
Better be ready, hope that you feel the same

All eyes on me in the center of the ring,
Just like a circus

When I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip,
Just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me,
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor,
Just like a circus

Let's go
A-a-aha
Let me see what you can do
A-a-aha
I'm runnin' this
Like, like, like like a circus
Yeah
Like a what?
Like, like, like a circus

All eyes on me in the center of a ring,
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip,
Just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me,
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor,
Just like a circus

All eyes on me in the center of a ring,
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip,
Just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me,
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor,
Just like a circus"


The Britney we love to hate and hate to love is back... dancin.
