Après Womanizer, Britney propose Circus le second extrait de l’album

du même nom. Dans ce texte, la star evoque sa nature profonde de showgirl qui l’amène à se placer au centre du cercle, sous le regard de chacun. Telle une meneuse de revue, elle cherche à divertir les spectateurs qui ont ainsi l’impression d’etre au cirque…

Voici pour vous les paroles de la chanson:

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
I’m like the ringleader
I call the shots
I’m like a firecracker
I make it hot
then i put on a show

I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and i’m ready to break
I’m like a performer, the dancefloor is my stage
Better be ready, hope that ya feel the same
All the eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gon’ trip
Just like a circus
Don’t stand there watching me, follow me
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dancefloor
Just like a circus

There’s only two types of guys out there,
Ones that can hang with me, and ones that are scared
So baby I hope that you came prepared
I run a tight ship so, beware
I’m like the ringleader
I call the shots
I’m like a firecracker
I make it hot
then I put on a show
