"If U Seek Amy" by Britney Spears

Britney-Spears-Circus-Promo-picture "If U Seek Amy" is supposedly the 3rd single to be released off of Britney’s Circus album. Like Sherri from Britney Groupie, I was hoping  the mellow "Out From Under" would be next because it shows Britney’s vulnerability and well, it’s well written with an emotional melody complementing the words that’s very relatable.

Having said that, I also like "If U Seek Amy". I love the clever way Max Martin did the title and how it was implemented in the lyrics. "If U Seek Amy" is naughty and fun. You really have to pay attention to the title and the lyrics to get the "joke".

Listen to "If U Seek Amy" below :

 

I was wondering how they could get this pass "censors" for radio play. Whatever they did, I’m so glad it worked :) . Once you listen to the song a few times you’ll probably like it too. Now I can’t wait to see the video. Britney and her back up dancers could just dance with a killer choreography in front of a brick wall with an artistic graffiti of the words "If U Seek Amy" and I would be SO happy about it. The title already says it all :) .

"If U Seek Amy" lyrics after the fold….


"If U Seek Amy" by Britney Spears

[Intro]
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la

[Verse 1]
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’mma buy her, do you know just what she likes? (Oh!)
Oh (Oh)
Tell me have you’ve 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
But can’t somebody take me home?
Haha, hehe, haha, ho

[Chorus]
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
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

[Verse 2]
Amy told me, that she’s gonna meet me up
I don’t know where or when, and now there 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!)

[Refrain]
Oh (Oh)
Tell me have you’ve 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

[Chorus]
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) Ohhhh, say what you want about me
Ohhhh, but can’t you see what I see?
(Love me, hate me) Yeahh, say what you want about me
(La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la)

[Bridge]
So tell me if you see her
(Only knew what she was wearing, and what she was like)
Cause I’ve been waiting here forever
(Only knew if she has gone out her 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
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la

[Chorus]
Love me, hate me
Say what you want about me (Say what you want about me!)
But all of the boys and all of the girls
Are begging to if you seek Amy (If you seek Amy..)
Love me, hate me
But can’t you see what I see? (Can’t you see what I see?)
All of the boys and all of the girls
Are begging to if you seek Amy (If you seek Amy)
Love me, hate me
Say what you want about me (Yeaaaah)
(La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la) (Yeah)
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 (If you seek Amy)
(Love me, hate me) Ohhhh, say what you want about me
Ohhhh, but can’t you see what I see?
(Love me, hate me) Yeahh, say what you want about me
All of the boys and all of the girls

    I am not sure if this is the right selection for her next release. The fans did vote this song to be the follow-up single. It’s a great song and I myself have a passion for Britney, but I think it may be a little too bubblegum for radio play. Although, if the video is perfect, then people will push the single to the top. Looking back @t the Womanizer & Circus videos, we can definitely assume that whatever fucking song this girl releases will be Hot!

    For the longest time I couldn’t figure out what all the controversy was. But I listened to it better and I can say is LOL.
