What U See (Is What U Get)

Britney Spears

You used to say that I was special
Everything was right
But now you think I'm wearing too much make-up
That my dress is too tight

You got no reasons to be jealous
I've never been untrue
So does it really matter if they're looking
I'm only looking at you

You should never try to change me
I can be nobody else
And I like the way I am

What you see is what you get
This is me, hey you
If you want me, don't forget
You should take me as I am
'Cause I can promise you
Baby, what you see is what you get

I know you watch me when I'm dancin'
When I party with me friends
I can feel your eyes on my back, baby
Oh no no
I can't have no chains around me, baby can't you see

I could be anything you dream of, but I gotta feel free
You should never try to change me
I can be nobody else
And I like the way I am

What you see is what you get
This is me, hey you
If you want me, don't forget
You should take me as I am
'Cause I can promise you
Baby, what you see is what you get

You should never try to change me
I can be nobody else
Believe me, you'll be looking for trouble if you hurt me
I can promise you, oh, you'll be looking for trouble
Believe me, yeah yeah yeah yeah

What you see is what you get
This is me, hey you
If you want me, don't forget
You should take (you should take) me as I am
'Cause I can promise you
Baby, what you see is what you get, yeah
'Cause I can promise you
Baby, what you see is what you get, yeah

    This song is so different than "...Baby One More Time." That whole album was about trailing some guy and wanting him/wanting him back/wanting him but wanting him to stay away. This album, and this song in particular, are so different. I like this song a lot.

@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.

Me and Johnny

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
