This is a story about a girl named Lucky

Early morning, she wakes up
Knock, knock, knock on the door
It's time for make-up, perfect smile
It's you they're all waiting for
They go, "Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?" And they say

[Chorus]
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?

Lost in an image, in a dream
But there's no one there to wake her up
And the world is spinning, and she keeps on winning
But tell me what happens when it stops?
They go, "Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?"
And they say

[Chorus]

"Best actress, and the winner is, Lucky!"
"I'm Roger Johnson for Pop News standing outside the arena waiting for Lucky."
"Oh my god, here she comes!"

Isn't she lucky, this Hollywood girl?
She is so lucky, but why does she cry?
If there's nothing missing in her life
Why do tears come at night?

[Chorus: x2]

    General Comment:i never noticed the actual meaning of this song until i watched "britney spears: for the record". then i realized that she's been "trapped" in that world for more than 10 years now. that sucks..not being able to step out of your house without security and psychos following you. always having to smile and having criticised everything you do.

    General Comment:I really like this song. I get that Britney is fake or whatever,but i mean it HAS been five years since the last comment before this one was posted. I don't know what I think about Britney the person, because I haven't read or heard that much about her. I really like this song though. Think about it, the song itself isn't fake, no matter whether she is or not. The person who wrote it is real, and Britney gave that person a voice.

    There isn't anything deep to say about the "meaning" of this song, though. It's just a girl who's lucky. Kind of.

    Song Meaning:I think all of yall are dissing on britney and the fact that she doesnt write the songs, instead of explaining the meaning behind the words. Yes, its true she doesnt write her own songs, but she does in fact develop the ideas with her writers ( sometimes.) Now is it possible that this song was one of them? Maybe. I think the realness of the song and the true meaning is to show that even though everyone thinks a persons life is perfect, famous or not, everyone has problems. This girl "Lucky" or "britney" puts a smile on her face and pretends that everything is okay, when in fact her world is falling apart. People need to relax and for once understand not everyone is perfect, regardless of what people say or think about them.

    General Comment:First off, Britney is Britney, her own person.
    Fake is just a word teenage outcasts and punk rockers made so that they can do and say whatever they want.
    Third, alot of people dont want tosing the songs they write.
    And thats wher epeople like britney spears come in.
    Why leave a good song out?
    Anyway I do love this song, and am probraly the only person to visit this page who has enough apprecation to interpret it.
    Im sure it means that this girl is beautiful and lucky and everyone wants to be her.
    She is locked inside of her own world, conceeded, and unable to think about anyone else.
    (Why does she cry?) She cries because shes lonely and needs someone to love other than herself.

    My Opinion:I love this song so much. I think a lot of people can relate to it. I feel really bad for Britney. People judge her so harshly. I've always really loved her. I know she's made some mistakes, but I think she has a good heart. I think when she started doing drugs and being irresponible she was just really confused and so she acted out. I mean, can you blame her? She has been under a microscope most of her life. You really can't expect her to be perfect. I love Britney Spears and I'm sure I always will.

    General Comment:I happen to think this is a good song and it's a shame that it took her going through hell and recovering to make people actually start liking her music.
