EVERYTIME

Lyrics and music by Britney Spears. Sang by Shannon King

Notice me

Take my hand

Why are we

Strangers when

Our love is strong?

Why carry on without me?

Every time I try to fly I fall

Without my wings

I feel so small

I guess I need you, baby

And every time I see you in my dreams

I see your face

It's haunting me

I guess I need you, baby

I make-believe

That you are here

It's the only way

I see clear

What have I done?

You seem to move uneasy

And every time I try to fly I fall

Without my wings

I feel so small

I guess I need you, baby

And every time I see you in my dreams

I see your face

You're haunting me

I guess I need you, baby

I may have made it rain

Please, forgive me

My weakness caused you pain

And this song's my sorry

At night I pray

That soon your face will fade away

And every time I try to fly I fall

Without my wings

I feel so small

I guess I need you, baby

And every time I see you in my dreams

I see your face

You're haunting me

I guess I need you, baby

Thanks for listening!

About Britney Spears: "Britney Jean Spears (born December 2, 1981) is an American singer, songwriter, dancer, and actress. She is credited with influencing the revival of teen pop during the late 1990s and early 2000s, for which she is referred to as the "Princess of Pop". After appearing in stage productions and television series, Spears signed with Jive Records in 1997 at age 15. Her first two studio albums, certified diamond in the US, ...Baby One More Time (1999) and Oops!... I Did It Again (2000), were global successes and became two of the best-selling albums of all time, along with making her the best-selling teenage artist of all time. The former's title track was ranked at number one by Rolling Stone in 2020 as the greatest debut single of all time[1] and the latter held a 15-year record for fastest-selling album by a female artist in the United States with over 1.3 million copies sold in its first week.

Spears adopted more mature and provocative themes and aesthetics for her next two studio albums, Britney (2001) and In the Zone (2003), and made her feature film debut in a starring role in Crossroads (2002). She became the executive producer of her fifth studio album Blackout (2007), which is often critically referred to as her best work.[2] Due to a series of highly publicized personal struggles, promotion for the album was limited and she was later involuntarily placed in a conservatorship. Since then, she released the chart-topping albums, Circus (2008) and Femme Fatale (2011), the latter of which became her most successful era of singles in the US charts. She embarked on a four-year concert residency, Britney: Piece of Me, at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas to promote her next two albums Britney Jean (2013) and Glory (2016). Since 2019, Spears has been involved in a legal dispute over her conservatorship.

Spears has scored six number-one albums on the Billboard 200.[3] She also has four solo number-one singles on the US Billboard Hot 100: "...Baby One More Time", "Womanizer", "3", and "Hold It Against Me". As a featured artist, the "S&M" remix also topped the Billboard chart. Other singles, "Oops!... I Did It Again", "Toxic", and "Scream & Shout", topped the charts in most countries. With "3" in 2009 and "Hold It Against Me" in 2011, she became the second artist after Mariah Carey in the Hot 100's history to debut at number one with two or more songs. Spears's self-made heavily choreographed videography is considered a focal point to the success of her career, such as the image-redefining music video for "I'm a Slave 4 U". For this, she has been awarded the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award as praise for her provocative boundaries-pushing art in young female entertainment. She has earned numerous awards and accolades, including a Grammy Award; thirteen Guinness World Records; six MTV Video Music Awards; seven Billboard Music Awards, including the Millennium Award;[4] the inaugural Radio Disney Icon Award; and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. [5]

Spears was ranked by Billboard as the eighth-biggest artist of the 2000s decade.[6] Regarded as a pop icon, she is one of the world's best-selling music artists, with sales of over 100 million records, including over 70 million records sold in the United States.[7][8] In the United States, Spears is the fourth best-selling female album artist of the Nielsen SoundScan era[9] as well as the best-selling female album artist of the 2000s.[10][11][12] In 2004, Spears launched a perfume brand with Elizabeth Arden, Inc.; sales exceeded US$1.5 billion as of 2012.[13] Forbes has reported Spears as the highest-paid female musician of 2002 and 2012.[14] She has also topped the list of most searched celebrities seven times in 12 years, a record since the inception of the internet.[15]"(Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org › wiki › Britney_Spears).
