You used to say that I was special
Everything was right
But now you're thinkin'
That I'm wearing too much makeup
And my dress is too tight

You've got no reason to be jealous
I've never been untrue
So why does it really matter
If they're looking
I'm only looking at you

You should never try to change me
I can be nobody else
And I like the way I am

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

I know you watch me when I'm dancing
When I party with my friends
I can feel your eyes in my back (baby)
I can't have chains around me, baby, can't you see ?
I can be anything you dream of
But I gotta feel free

You should never try to change me
I can be nobody else
And I like the way I am

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

You should never try to change me
I can be nobody else

Believe me, you'll be lookin' for trouble
If you hurt me
I can promise you
You'll be lookin' for trouble, believe me

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

'Cause I can promise you
Baby, what you see is what you get

Britney: "Hey, this is Brit, and I'm not in right now.
So do your thing ! BEEP ! [laughs] I'm just kiddin'."
[ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS]
Man: "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...y'know, how she had all
that fame and all that money. She still wasn't happy.
Wouldn't that make a cool song ?"
