Britney Spears - Baby One More Time Lyrics

Britney Spears Lyrics

"Baby One More Time"

Oh, baby, baby
Oh, baby, baby

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

Show me how you want it to be
Tell me, baby
'Cause I need to know now, oh, because

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

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

Show me how you want it to be
Tell me, baby
'Cause I need to know now, oh, because

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

Oh, baby, baby
Oh, baby, baby
Ah, yeah, yeah

Oh, baby, baby
How was I supposed to know?
Oh, pretty baby
I shouldn't have let you go

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

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

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

The first track and the lead single of Britney Spears' debut studio album.

"Baby One More Time" was originally written for TLC, but they thought that the song wasn't in accordance with their style and music. Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins said in interview with MTV News, "It's good for her. But was I going to say 'hit me baby one more time'? Hell, no!"

The line "Hit me, baby, one more time" was explained by Britney Spears in an interview with Rolling Stone in 1999, "It doesn't mean physically hit me. It means just give me a sign, basically. I think it's kind of funny that people would actually think that's what it meant."

The music video was shot at Venice High School in Los Angeles, which was the setting for Rydell High School in the film "Grease" (1978).

The song reached number one in every country where it charted. It is one of the best-selling singles of all time, with more then 18 million copies sold.

Bowling For Soup recorded a cover of this track in 2003 for the Disney film "Freaky Friday" starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis.
