INTRO
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes, many times over.
VERSE 1
I think I did it again. I made you believe. We're more than just friends. Oh, baby. It might seem like a crush, but it doesn't mean that I'm serious. 'cause to lose all my senses... That is just so typically me. Oh, baby, baby.
My belief is that I repeated my misleading behavior that prompted you to see our relationship as more serious and romantic than I believe it is. It might appear that certain feelings between us are juvenile expressions of lust; however, don't use that to justify taking literally what I say and do. It is not out of the ordinary for me to become a deaf, blind mute who can't taste or touch.
CHORUS
Oops!... I did it again. I played with your heart. Got lost in the game. Oh, baby; baby. Oops!... You think I'm in love. That I'm sent from above... I'm not that innocent.
Drat. This was not the first time I engaged in a fun, competitive activity with the most pivotal organ in your circulatory system and then could not find my way out of the activity. Curses. Your view is that my feelings of affection are deep and that God shipped me here, but I am not morally pure enough for that to be the case.
VERSE 2
You see, my problem is this: I'm dreaming away; wishing that heroes, they truly exist. I cry watching the days. Can't you see I'm a fool in so many ways? But to lose all my senses... That is just so typically me. Baby, oh.
The personal issue with which I am grappling is that I am having thoughts while unconscious and hoping that some individuals indeed perform selfless acts for others. An NBC daytime soap opera makes me weep. Is it not self-evident that I am stupid on many levels? Again, though, it would not be unprecedented for me to become a deaf, blind mute who can't taste or touch.
(CHORUS)
SPOKEN BRIDGE
"All aboard!" "Britney, before you go, there's something I want you to have." "Oh, it's beautiful! But wait a minute, isn't this... ?" "Yeah, yes, it is." "But I thought the old lady dropped it into the ocean in the end..." "Well, baby, I went down and got it for ya." "Aw, you shouldn't have."
"Get on this train or boat." "Britney, here is the fictional diamond from the popular film Titanic; I acquired it from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean." "You ought not to have completed that task."
SUNG BRIDGE
Oops! I did it again to your heart. Got lost in this game; oh, baby. Oops! You think that I'm sent from above... I'm not that innocent.
Drat. I repeated actions that had consequences on the organ that pumps your blood. I could not navigate my way through this enjoyable activity. Curses. You believe I fell from the sky, but I sin more than you know.
(CHORUS TWICE)
