Do You Seek Amy?
I am a huge Britney Spears fan so of course I bought her new album, which I love. Which brings me to talk about one of my favorite songs on the album, If U Seek Amy. A song which I was confused about until last night.
When listening to the song and the lyrics it totally sounds like a lesbian kind of adventure with Britney going around a club trying to seek this Amy girl and wanting to buy her drinks and go wherever she goes. Which I was like, um ok cool, I guess. But it still wasn't making sense. There had to be more to the song because there is one part where she goes:
I just want to go to the party she gon' go
Can somebody take me home
Haha hehe haha ho
That laughing part made me think that there must be something behind that laugh of hers. That there is something more to the song that I'm not getting.
And indeed there is. I went to songlyrics.com and read the comments under the If U Seek Amy lyrics.
It turns out that the geniuses behind the song were playing on the words "If U Seek Amy." What they're really saying is, f-u-see-k-me. Get it. Quite clever.
Here's the part of the song lyrics I'm talking about:
Love me hate me
Say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls are beggin' to If You Seek Amy
So, in the song it sounds like, 'all of the boys & all of the girls are beggin' to f -u -see -k -me...'
To understand what I'm talking about, listen in on the video:

And here are the full lyrics in case you want them:
La la la lala la la la
La la la lala la la la
La la la lala la la la
La la la lala la la la
Oh baby, baby
Have you seen Amy tonight?
Is she in the bathroom ?
Is she smokin' up outside?
(Oh!)
Oh baby, baby
Does she take a piece of lime
For the drink that Imma buy her
Do you know just what she likes?
(Oh!)
Oh Oh
Tell me have you seen her
'Cause I'm so
Oh
I can't get her off of my brain
I just want to go to the party she gon' go
Can somebody take me home
Haha hehe haha ho
Chorus:
Love me hate me
Say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls are beggin' to If You Seek Amy
Love me hate me
But can't you see what I see
All of the boys and all of the girls are beggin' to If You Seek Amy
(Love me, hate me)
La la la lala la la la
La la la lala la la la
Amy told me that she's gonna meet me up
I don't know where or when and now they're closing up the club
(Oh!)
I've seen her once or twice before she knows my face
But it's hard to see with all the people standing in the way
(Oh!)
Oh oh
Tell me have you seen her
'Cause I'm so
Oh
I can't get her off of my brain
I just want to go to the party she's gonna go
Can somebody take me home
Haha hehe haha ho
Chorus
Oh
Say what you want about me
Oh
But can't you see what I see
Oh
Say what you want about me
So tell me if you've seen her (let me know what she was wearing and what she was like)
Cause I've been waiting here forever (let me know where she was going I don't mind)
Oh baby baby
If You Seek Amy tonight
Oh
Oh baby baby
We'll do whatever you like
Oh baby baby baby
Oh baby baby baby
La la la lala la la la
La la la lala la la la
La la la lala la la la
La la la lala la la la
Chorus
Love me hate me
Say what you want about me (yeah)
Yeah
Love me hate me
But can't you see what I see
All of the boys and all of the girls are beggin' to If You Seek Amy
Oh (love me hate me)
Say what you want about me
Oh
But can't you see what I see (love me hate me)
Oh Say what you want about me
All of the boys and all of the girls are beggin' to If You Seek Amy
