## Letra

**[Intro: Danja & Britney Spears]**

Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt our program of dance music

To bring you a special bulletin from the intercontinental radio news

Our very own Pop Princess

Now Queen of Pop

Has a special announcement she would like to make

You're on

I think I'm ready for my closeup

Yeah

**[Verso 1: Britney Spears]**

You don't like me, I don't like you, it don't matter (Ooh)

Only difference, you still listen, I don't have to (Ooh)

In one ear and out the other, I don't need ya (Ooh)

Your words don't stick, I ain't perfect, but you ain't either (Ooh)

If you're feelin' froggy, leap (Ooh)

I ain't even losin' sleep (Ooh)

There's more to me than what you see (Ooh)

You wouldn't like me when I'm angry

**[Pre-Coro: Britney Spears]**

Mr. photographer, I think I'm ready for my closeup tonight

Make sure you catch me from my good side, pick one

These other hoes just wanna be me

Is that money in your pocket or you happy to see me?

**[Coro: Britney Spears]**

Kill the lights (Take 'em out, turn 'em off, break 'em down)

Kill the lights (Don't be scared, make a move, see me now?)

Kill the lights (I feel you, watching me, watching you)

Kill the lights (You can't handle the truth, what happened to 'em?)

**[Post-Coro: Britney Spears]**

I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Pure satisfaction)

I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Lights, camera, action)

I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Pure satisfaction)

I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Lights, camera, action)

**[Verso 2: Britney Spears]**

All the flashin', tryin' to cash in, hurts my eyes

All the poses, out of focus, I despise

F me over, your exposure, not the best

You want me bad, I want you out, release this stress

**[Pre-Coro: Britney Spears]**

Mr. photographer, I think I'm ready for my closeup tonight (Yeah, yeah)

Make sure you catch me from my good side, pick one (Yeah)

These other hoes just wanna be me (Yeah)

Is that money in your pocket or you happy to see me?

**[Coro: Britney Spears]**

Kill the lights (Take 'em out, turn 'em off, break 'em down)

Kill the lights (Don't be scared, make a move, see me now?)

Kill the lights (I feel you, watching me, watching you)

Kill the lights (You can't handle the truth, what happened to 'em?)

**[Post-Coro: Britney Spears]**

I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Pure satisfaction)

I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Lights, camera, action)

I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Pure satisfaction)

I killed the lights, the lights, the lights (Lights, camera, action)

**[Outro: Britney Spears]**

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah
