Baby, can't you see
I'm calling
A guy like you should wear a warning
It's dangerous
I'm falling

There's no escape
I can't wait
I need a hit
Baby, give me it
You're dangerous
I'm loving it

Too high
Can't come down
Losin' my head
Spinnin' 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now?

Oh,
The taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With a taste of a poison paradise

I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?

It's getting late
To give you up
I took a sip
From my devil's cup
Slowly, it's taking over me

Too high
Can't come down
It's in the air and it's all around
Can you feel me now?

Oh,
Taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With the taste of a poison paradise

I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?
Don't you know that you're toxic?

(Oh, oh)

Taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With a taste of a poison paradise

I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?

With the taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With a taste of the poison paradise

I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?

Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now
I think I'm ready now

Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now

    My Interpretation:Okay, we all know that Britney has had a drug problem, what with the videos and pictures and all.
    I think that when she says "hit", "you," "him", etc., that it's symbolizing a drug/alcohol.
    This whole song is about being addicted to it and the high that it gives her

    General Comment:crushinator's interpretation is brilliant. There's not really much more can be said. Personally, I like this song but in all honesty, there's a ton of people who could have done it and it would still have been a good song. I don't think there's anything Britney specifically brings to the table. Also I love the mashup with Faint by Linkin Park, which is kinda surprising because I usually find Linkin Park bland as all hell.

    General Comment:Well, I know that this song is pretty old, and not a lot of people are liking it anymore, but have any of you heard of VersaEmerge? They did a cover of this on YouTube... Seriously, it's sexy. Everybody should check it out--then you can get the spirit of this song and what it was meant to sound like.

    My Interpretation:It’s about the mixture of drugs and a guy, possibly a drug dealer?

    There’s no escape
    I can’t hide
    I need a hit
    Baby, give me it

    ^ “I need a hit” . . . it’s obvious, because when some refer to drugs, they sometimes refer to it as a “hit”. And the lines surrounding “I need a hit” and “Baby, give me it” she’s not referring to a boy or possible drug dealer.

    Too high
    Can’t come down
    Losing my head
    Spinning ‘round and ‘round
    Do you feel me now

    ^ Pretty obvious, “can’t come down” because when she says she’s “too high” she’s saying she high and, basically can’t come down from the rush or high she’s receiving in her mind. AKA, “losing my head” and everything around her is “spinning ‘round and ‘round”. And the last line is basically asking her “do you feel me now”—meaning, does she feel the drugs now.

    With a taste of your lips
    I’m on a ride
    You’re toxic
    I’m slipping under
    With a taste of poison paradise
    I’m addicted to you
    Don’t you know that you’re toxic
    And I love what you do
    Don’t you know that you’re toxic

    ^ Alcohol, and possibly heroin or some other type of drug powder. She refers to alcohol as being toxic, and how she’s slipping under because of it. She loves the affect it has on her.

    It’s getting late
    To give you up
    I took a sip
    From my devil cup
    Slowly
    It’s taking over me

    ^ Meaning she’s really deep into what she got herself into, and as a result, it’s taking over her—it’s becoming her, the drugs are becoming a vital part of her. The devil’s cup refers to coffee, so she’s drinking coffee to come down from the high she’s encountered.

    Too high
    Can’t come down
    It’s in the air
    And it’s all around
    Can you feel me now

    ^ “It’s in the air” and “and it’s all around” <- she’s referring to the smoke, so she’s probably smoking. Either marijuana or so.

    Intoxicate me now
    With your lovin' now
    I think I'm ready now
    I think I'm ready now
    Intoxicate me now
    With your lovin' now
    I'm ready now

    ^ She’s ready to go through the cycle all over again.

    I personally think it’s talking about drugs, but it can be perceived both ways.

    General Comment:
    MAKING MONEY RIGHT NOW!!!
    INCREDIBLY EASY MONEY(IT WORKS).!!!
    it work for me.
    This is the way the original post appeared when I first found it.
    In days you will make money (it takes only $6 dollars).!!!
    A while ago I was browsing through various message: got my attention, "Making Money Fast".
    Before I read it, I figured it was one of those things where you
    have to do something questionable and you get like $5 a sites,
    just like you're doing now. I saw this one message, similar
    to this one that I'm now writing. It was the topic that week or something really crappy. When I looked at the message, it said I could make thousands of dollars by investing only $6!!! AND I would start bringing in the money almost right away. Still certain that it must be a joke, I read on. Anyway, to make a long, exciting, money making story short, I followed the instructions (I copied them down for you below), decided I could go ahead and waste 6 bucks which I'd probably never see again, and, well? It's just amazing if you ask me. I've already doubled that six dollars about a zillion times over...oh yeah, the other thing is that I still wasn't sure of the legality of it all. I called the questions line of the U.S. Postal Service (1-800-725-2161) just to make sure that the place where I read the Postal Service said it's legal was telling the truth (and it is indeed perfectly not against the law), and I've heard from other people that this is also legal in Britain and Canada (and must be in loads of other countries too).Other people have been doing this, and raking in the thousands just as I have. I haven't exactly kept track, but an example
    : from another person:
    : Week 1: About $25
    : Week 2: Over $1,000
    : Week 3: Over$10,000 Week 4: Just over $42,000 I've been putting
    : mine in the bank at a high interest rate since I got enough for
    : one of those accounts, and am now getting even more money.
    : Forget about playing the lottery and not even being sure that
    : you'll win. Anyway, here's what you do to get loads of money
    : (you may want to print this so you can start carrying it out
    : right away):
    : STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper. On each piece of paper,
    : write these words: PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING ADDRESS. Then
    : also put your name and address on each sheet of paper.
    : STEP 2: Get six U.S. $1 bills (or, if you're not so lazy, the
    : currency of the country of the address you're writing to). Wrap
    : each of the pieces of paper around each of the dollar bills.
    : This can also help prevent the money being seen through the
    : envelope so it's not stolen (as if anyone would steal $1 out of
    : the mail anyway).
    : STEP 3: Get six stamped envelopes. Place the paper and money in
    : the envelopes. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with
    : a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and
    : address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing by this is
    : creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!
    : STEP 4: Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
    : #1) B.J. Grissin 76 Falkirk Ave Wellington 6003 New Zealand
    :#2) C.A. Spaniel 6503 Ranchito Av Van Nuys, CA 90401-1537
    #3) Matt Frank 6/17 Poate Rd NSW 2021 Australia
    : #4) Ariel Skye, 20 Franciscan Way, St. Augustine, FL 32084-5308
    : #5) Kath Jackson, 2 Crest Crt. Salisbury East. SA 5109 Australia.
    : #6) Kavika Ulrey, 7490 Battlecreek, Salem,OR 97317
    : PART II: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above,
    : move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc..) and
    : add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list.
    : Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
    : close to original as possible.
    : Now, post your amended article on at least 200 newsgroups on the
    : Internet. (I believe there are close to 24,000 groups.)
    : All you need is 200; but, remember: the more you post, the more
    : money you make!
    : DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS
    : Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your
    : own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this
    : letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and
    : select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire
    : letter into the computer memory.
    : Step 2) Open a blank Notepad file and place your cursor at the
    : top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This
    : will paste a copy of the letter into Notepad so that you can add
    : your name to the list.
    : Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a '.txt' file. If you want
    : to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always have
    : this file to go back to.
    : Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for
    : various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,
    : discussions.)
    : Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a
    : new message by highlighting the text of this letter and
    : selecting paste from the edit menu.
    : Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees
    : as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular
    : group, click the post message button. You're done with your
    : first one!
    : Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to
    : different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of
    : it, and it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup!
    : REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU
    : WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200.
    : That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world
    : within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to
    : the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay
    : anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman
    : will deliver it.
    : JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT. Now the WHY Part:
    : Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low
    : example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter.
    : Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the
    : MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons
    : respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for
    : me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4
    : and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00!
    : Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with
    : my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an
    : additional $625.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those
    : 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and
    : they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!!
    : Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200
    : newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200
    : newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original
    : investment of only $6.00! ($5 + $25 + $125 + $625 +$3,125 +
    : $15,625 = $19,530 in just 6 levels of the plan!) AMAZING! When
    : your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest
    : posting in the Newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names
    : on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start
    : posting again. The thing to remember is, do you realize that
    : thousands of people all over the world are joining the Internet
    : and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So
    : can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works??
    : I think so... People have said, "What if the plan is played out
    : and no one sends you the money?" So what! What are the chances
    : of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and
    : new honest people who are joining the Internet and newsgroups
    : every day and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at
    : 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those
    : joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY
    : and this will work 100%.
    : Peace for all
