[Intro]
Oh baby, baby
Oh baby, baby (Yeah)
Oh baby, baby (Ah)
Oh baby, baby (Yeah)

[Verse 1]
Oh baby, baby, how was I supposed to know
That something wasn't right here?
Oh baby, baby, I shouldn't have let you go
And now you're out of sight, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Show me how you want it to be
Tell me, baby, 'cause I need to know now, oh, because

[Chorus]
My loneliness is killing me (And I)
I must confess I still believe (Still believe)
When I'm not with you, I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time

[Verse 2]
Oh baby, baby, the reason I breathe is you
Boy, you got me blinded
Oh pretty baby, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
It's not the way I planned it

[Pre-Chorus]
Show me how you want it to be
Tell me, baby, 'cause I need to know now, oh, because

[Chorus]
My loneliness is killing me (And I)
I must confess I still believe (Still believe)
When I'm not with you, I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time

[Interlude]
Oh baby, baby (Oh)
Oh baby, baby (Yeah)
Oh baby, baby
Oh baby, baby (Yeah)
Oh baby, baby, how was I supposed to know?
Oh pretty baby, I shouldn't have let you go

[Bridge]
I must confess that my loneliness is killing me now
Don't you know I still believe
That you will be here and give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time

[Chorus]
My loneliness is killing me (And I)
I must confess I still believe (Still believe)
When I'm not with you, I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time

[Bridge]
I must confess that my loneliness is killing me now
Don't you know I still believe?
That you will be here and give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time

[Outro]
Oh baby, baby (Oh)
Oh baby, baby (Yeah)
Oh baby, baby
Oh baby, baby (Yeah)

Britney Spears

Britney Jean Spears (born December 2, 1981) is an American singer and actress. Born in McComb, Mississippi, and raised in Kentwood, Louisiana, she performed acting roles in stage productions and television shows as a child before signing with Jive Records in 1997.

Spears’s first and second studio albums, …Baby One More Time and Oops!… I Did It Again, became international successes, with the former becoming the best-selling album by a teenage solo artist. Title tracks “…Baby One More Time” and “Oops!… I Did It Again” broke international sales records, with the former reaching number one in every country it charted in. In 2001, Spears released her self-titled third studio album, Britney, and played the starring role in the film Crossroads (2002). She assumed creative control of her fourth studio album, In the Zone, which yielded the worldwide success of the single “Toxic.”

In 2007, Spears’s much-publicized personal issues sent her career into hiatus. Her fifth studio album, Blackout, was released later that year, and spawned hits such as “Gimme More” and “Piece of Me”.
