Oh, baby, baby, have you seen Amy tonight?
Is she in the bathroom, is she smokin' up outside? (Oh)
Oh baby, baby, does she take a piece of lime
For the drink that I'ma buy her?
Do you know just what she likes? (Oh)

Oh, oh
Tell me have you seen her? 'Cause I'm so (oh)
I can't get her off of my brain
I just wanna go to the party she gon' go
Can't somebody take me home?
Haha, hehe, haha, ho

Love me, hate me
Say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls
Are begging to if you seek Amy

Love me, hate me
But can't you see what I see?
All of the boys and all of the girls
Are begging to if you seek Amy

(Love me, hate me) la, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la

Amy told me that she's gonna meet me up
I don't know where or when and now they're closin' up the club (oh)
I've seen her once or twice before, she knows my face
But it's hard to see with all the people standin' in the way (oh)

Oh, oh
Tell me have you seen her? 'Cause I'm so (oh)
I can't get her off of my brain
I just wanna go to the party she gon' go
Can't somebody take me home?
Haha, hehe, haha, ho

Love me, hate me
Say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls
Are begging to if you seek Amy

Love me, hate me
But can't you see what I see?
All of the boys and all of the girls
Are begging to if you seek Amy

(Love me, hate me) oh, say what you want about me
Oh, but can't you see what I see?
(Love me, hate me) yeah, say what you want about me
(La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la)

So tell me if you see her
(Let me know what she was wearing and what she was like)
'Cause I've been waiting here forever
(Let me know where she was going, I don't mind)
Oh, baby, baby, if you seek Amy tonight (oh)
Oh, baby, baby, we'll do whatever you'll like
Oh, baby, baby, baby
Oh, baby, baby, baby

La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la

    I think this song is about duplicity.

    The love and the hate. The double meaning of the title The double meaning of the song The double life featured in the video The double meaning behind the word 'Fuck' (Could mean sex or fucking someone over)

    It's all about how not everything is so black and white it can be both at the same time.

    Awesome song

    This song is about her mocking all of the people who talk about her in the tabloids and exploit all of her business. Always on top of what club she is at, what she is drinking, who she is with and wanting to feel important by knowing her. She sees it as, all these people really want is my attention, they want to FUCK ME, they want a piece of me. She is mocking my referring to herself as (amy) "Have you seen (me)!?! What am I doing this time?? Please everyone! Tell the world what I was wearing, what I was doing! Everyone Just F* ME!

    Actually, I think there is much more to this song.. I see it as dealing with perceptions of duality: Amy is sort of Britney's alter ego, but moreso, Amy is the Britney that the media sees.. If you listen to the lyrics it has its multiple personality moments where she says she just wants to go to the party where Amy's at and then suddenly asks for someone to take me home.. so it's as if the song pits against each other: media's idea of Britney versus who Britney wants to be, and on an underlying level, versus who she really is. I got this idea after finally seeing the video.. Britney is making it clear that she is not what the media sees her to be, hence the complete name change to Amy.. so, as Britney desperately hopes, if you seek Amy, she's not here.

    if you look at it, "amy" is "me" in her f-u-c-k me line. shes basically talking about herself but in third person. "is she smokin up outside?" and throughout the song shes another person, looking for herself in a club. "I’ve seen her once or twice before she knows my face But its hard to see with all the people standing in the way" of course theres going to be people surrounding her, shes BRITNEY SPEARS! lol.

    I can't believe I just wasted 12 seconds of my life, downloading this stupid fucking song!! I wish there were some sort 'emoticon' for an ( anti - <3 ) and those who think Britney is "brilliant" and/or "amazing" needs to get there heads checked!!

    I'm not saying I wouldn't do her... just saying she's an absolute moron, that's all.

    My Opinion

    Okay, I'll be the first old person to come along and shit on this party.

    The concept of this song title is nowhere near original, considering April Wine released "If You See Kay" back in 1982. Of course back then we too were all giddy over the fact that we could run around the school yard singing obscenities....

    Yeah, anyway.

    Aaaaaand it's yet another piece of crap churned out by Britney's fabulous writers. I don't blame her for the song. It's the writers and producers that green-lit this shit. I do blame her for agreeing to put her name on it. I don't think I can legally say that she sang the song because what little vocal talent she has is always synthesized beyond recognition.

    What? Britney can't get press because she's not a trainwreck anymore? Hmm... what can we do? Oh! I know! Let's have her sing a song that sneakily spells out a bad word! That'll be sure to get some airtime!

    People that enjoy shit like this are the reason the world might not last past 2012.

More Featured Meanings

Album art
Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Album art
Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Album art
Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head &gt; Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Album art
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
