"Lonely" lyrics - BRITNEY SPEARS

To think I'm so naive
How dare you play with me?
I gave you heart and soul, yeah
Tell me baby, please
Why you screwing with my head?
I don't think you understand
I won't take your (huh) no more
Don't knock on my door

[Pre-Chorus:]
Not this time, because I recognize
I've heard it all before, and I

[Chorus:]
I think of all the time that I wasted
Think of all the times that I took you back
Ain't no way I'll be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in
Let's just face it
Better off alone and I won't turn back
You thought that I would be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in

Don't tell me how to feel, or say that you're for real
My mind's made up, I'm cool without ya
You got no more appeal
Now this girl don't need no man to say what she can do or what she can't
Now I live for me, boy, does that make you weep?

[Pre-Chorus:]
Not this time, because I realize
I've heard it all before, and I

[Chorus:]
I think of all the time that I wasted
Think of all the times that I took you back
Ain't no way I'll be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in
Let's just face it
Better off alone and I won't turn back
You thought that I would be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in

[Bridge:]
Think of times you made me cry
You had me so confused
I'm tired of trying, I'll leave behind this
What's a girl to do?

[Rap]
I think of all the times you made me sick
I used to think I couldn't handle it
What you think, I'm just another chick?
Messed with Brit, boy, you must have tripped
What were you thinking when you lost my trust?
You had it all, now you're left with nothing
Ooh, baby, now I know you want my touch
And now you're lonely and you still want me

[Chorus:]
I think of all the time that I wasted
Think of all the times that I took you back
Ain't no way I'll be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in
Let's just face it
Better off alone and I won't turn back
You thought that I would be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in
Think of all the time that I wasted
Think of all the times that I took you back
Ain't no way I'll be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in
Let's just face it
Better off alone and I won't turn back
You thought that I would be lonely
I don't wanna let you back in
