‘Circus’
by Britney Spears
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 backseat
Got to 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
(Chorus)
All eyes on me
In the centre of the ring
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip
Everybody going to 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
(Chorus)
Let’s go
Let me see what you can do
I’m running this
Like a circus
