[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
You should never try to change me
I can be nobody else
And I like the way I am

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
I know you watch me when I'm dancing
When I party with my friends
I can feel your eyes on my back, baby (Ah, na na)
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

[Pre-Chorus]
You should never try to change me
I can be nobody else
And I like the way I am

[Chorus]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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, you’ll be looking for trouble
Believe me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

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

[Interlude to Lucky: Britney & Friend]
"Hey, what's up this is Brit
And I'm not in right now
So do your thang!
Beep! hehehe, I'm just kiddin'"
"Hehehe, yo Brit
You're a nerd, you really need to change that message
Look, I was thinking about that movie we saw the other night
You know, how she had all that fame, and all that money
And she still wasn't happy
Wouldn't that make a cool song?"

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”.
