Lyrics
I LOVE YOU, BRITNEY
You sang me to sleep at night
But you never did tuck me in
I loved dressing up like you
Imitated everything you did
Then when mom got sick
And dad couldn't handle it
You kept me company in my room
Now it's my turn to try and comfort you
Your music is a close friend
Speaks right to my heart
I practiced your dance moves
Every night in the dark
And when I was lonely
You sang only to me
I know you're gonna be alright
And I love you, Britney
We all make mistakes in life
Most people do it privately
You can't even make a face
Without it ending up on TV
After what you've been through
They're still ganging up on you
We love to watch our heroes fall
Well, I'm gonna cheer the night you show them all
(go to Chorus)
Musical Break
(2nd half of final Chorus)
I'll never get to thank you
We never will meet
But I know you're gonna be alright
And I love you, Britney
Yeah, you're gonna be alright
And we love you, Britney
