Britney Spears : Circus + lyrics ( HQ ) ( Circus )

letra
There's only two types of people in the world
The ones that entertain, and the ones that observe
Well, baby I'm a put-on-a-show kinda girl
Don't like the backseat, gotta be first (oh, oh)
I'm like the ringleader
I call the shots (call the shots)
I'm like a firecracker
I make it hot (make it hot)
I run a tight ship, even though
I go with the flow
Now here's a hot tip (listen in)
Get a front seat when I put on a show
I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins (hah, hah, hah)
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break (hah, hah, hah)
I'm like a performer, the dance floor is my stage (hah, hah, hah)
Better be ready, hope that ya feel the same (hah, hah, hah)
All the eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus (ah, ah, ahaha-hah)
When i crack that whip, everybody gonna trip
Just like a circus (ah, ah, ahaha-hah)
Don't stand there watching me, follow me
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor
Just like a circus (ah, ah, ahaha-hah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, ho)
There's only two types of guys out there,
Ones that can handle me, and the mamma boys are too scared
But if I brought one down to my lair
He'd never wanna leave, just sit and stare (oh, oh, oh)
I'm like the candy floss
I'm bad for you (bad for you)
I'm just the elephant
In the room (in the room)
And when its raining, you can come
Under my big tent
No need for your umbrella (ella ella)
You'll like this better, cos its the big event (ahhh)
I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins (hah, hah, hah)
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break (hah, hah, hah)
I'm like a performer, the dance floor is my stage (hah, hah, hah)
Better be ready, hope that ya feel the same (hah, hah, hah)
