[Intro: Danja & Britney Spears]
Ladies and Gentlemen, we interrupt our program of Dance Music to bring you a special bulletin from the intercontinental radio news. Our very own Pop Princess, now Queen of Pop, has a special announcement she would like to make.
You're on
I think I'm ready for my close up
Yeah

[Verse 1: Britney Spears]
You don't like me, I don't like you, it don't matter
Only difference, you still listen, I don't have to
In one ear and out the other, I don't need you
Your words don't stick, I ain't perfect, but you ain't either
If you're feeling froggy, leap
I ain't even losin' sleep
There's more to me than what you see
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry

[Pre-Chorus: Britney Spears]
Mr. Photographer, I think I'm ready for my close-up tonight
Make sure you catch me from my good side, pick one
These other (Ha) just wanna be me
Is that money in your pocket or you happy to see me?

[Chorus: Britney Spears]
Kill the lights (Take 'em out, turn 'em off, break 'em down)
Kill the lights (Don't be scared, make a move, see me now?)
Kill the lights (I feel you watching me watching you)
Kill the lights (You can't handle the truth, what happened to 'em?)
[Post-Chorus: Britney Spears]
I kill the lights, the lights, the lights (Pure satisfaction)
I kill the lights, the lights, the lights (Lights, camera, action)
I kill the lights, the lights, the lights (Pure satisfaction)
I kill the lights, the lights, the lights (Lights, camera, action)

[Verse 2: Britney Spears]
All the flashin', tryin' to cash in, hurts my eyes
All the poses out of focus I despise
Eff me over, your exposure, not the best
You want me bad, I want you out, release this stress

[Pre-Chorus: Britney Spears]
Mr. Photographer, I think I'm ready for my close-up tonight (Yeah, yeah)
Make sure you catch me from my good side, pick one (Yeah)
These other (Ha) just wanna be me (Yeah)
Is that money in your pocket or you happy to see me?

[Chorus: Britney Spears]
Kill the lights (Take 'em out, turn 'em off, break 'em down)
Kill the lights (Don't be scared, make a move, see me now?)
Kill the lights (I feel you watching me watching you)
Kill the lights (You can't handle the truth, what happened to 'em?)

[Post-Chorus: Britney Spears]
I kill the lights, the lights, the lights (Pure satisfaction)
I kill the lights, the lights, the lights (Lights, camera, action)
I kill the lights, the lights, the lights (Pure satisfaction)
I kill the lights, the lights, the lights (Lights, camera, action)
[Bridge: Britney Spears]
You're the star now, welcome to the big league
They all want a pic, they all wanna see, see, see
What you're made of, what you're gonna do
Is life gonna get the best of you?

[Chorus: Britney Spears]
Kill the lights (Take 'em out, turn 'em off, break 'em down)
Kill the lights (Don't be scared, make a move, see me now?)
Kill the lights (I feel you watching me watching you)
Kill the lights (You can't handle the truth, what happened to 'em?)

[Post-Chorus: Britney Spears]
I kill the lights, the lights, the lights (Pure satisfaction)
I kill the lights, the lights, the lights (Lights, camera, action)
I kill the lights, the lights, the lights (Pure satisfaction)
I kill the lights, the lights, the lights (Lights, camera, action)

[Outro: Britney Spears]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
