There's only two types of people in the world
The ones that entertain, and the ones that observe
Well baby I'm a put-on-a-show kinda girl
Don't like the backseat, gotta be first
I'm like the ringleader
I call the shots (call the shots)
I'm like a firecracker
I make it hot
When I put on a show
I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
I'm like a performer, the dance floor is my stage
Better be ready, hope ya feel the same
[Chorus]
All the eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody goin' trip
Just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor
Just like a circus
There's only two types of guys out there,
Ones that can hang with me, and ones that are scared
So baby I hope that you came prepared
I run a tight ship so, beware
I'm like the ringleader
I call the shots
I'm like a firecracker
I make it hot
When I put on a show
I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
I'm like a performer, the dance floor is my stage
Better be ready, hope that ya feel the same
[Chorus]
Let's go
Let me see what you can do
I'm runnin' this (like, like, like, like a circus)
Yeah
Like a what? (like, like, like, like a circus)
[Chorus: x2]
The ones that entertain, and the ones that observe
Well baby I'm a put-on-a-show kinda girl
Don't like the backseat, gotta be first
I'm like the ringleader
I call the shots (call the shots)
I'm like a firecracker
I make it hot
When I put on a show
I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
I'm like a performer, the dance floor is my stage
Better be ready, hope ya feel the same
[Chorus]
All the eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody goin' trip
Just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor
Just like a circus
There's only two types of guys out there,
Ones that can hang with me, and ones that are scared
So baby I hope that you came prepared
I run a tight ship so, beware
I'm like the ringleader
I call the shots
I'm like a firecracker
I make it hot
When I put on a show
I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
I'm like a performer, the dance floor is my stage
Better be ready, hope that ya feel the same
[Chorus]
Let's go
Let me see what you can do
I'm runnin' this (like, like, like, like a circus)
Yeah
Like a what? (like, like, like, like a circus)
[Chorus: x2]

"djhtjl" as someone else said why the life story for?
you sound conceded oh well each to their own
I think this because she sings "Don't like the backseat," referring to her position in the threesome. She wants to be "in the center of the ring," which is also about her position in a threesome. She is the "ring-leader," and a circus is an exciting event with THREE rings, so a circus could symbolize a threesome.
I acknowledge that this very well may be wrong, I just wanted to put this opinion out there for you guys :)
The lyrics:
There's only two types of people in this world, the ones that entertain and the ones that observe
It's like you get those types of people that like to just watch and don't get involved and don't like to be the centre of attention, and you get the people that can handle being on the fron row and taking over the show and that's what she is. It's just like confidence, either a doing or not. Being IT or just observing what u want.
She wants the type of people that get her and can hang with her, not c razed fans maybe.. Maybe like an identity crisis????
lol.
This song is really fun and cute and hot! love the whole circus theme so kool for Britney!!!
I'm like the ring leader, I call the shots,
I'm like a firecracker, I make it hot,
When I put on a show, I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins,
Spotlight on me, and I'm ready to break,
I'm like a performer, the dancefloor is my stage,
Better be ready, hope that ya feel the same.
All eyes on me, in the centre of the ring, just like a circus,
(Uh uh uh uh uh- huh)
When I crack that whip, everybody gonn' trip just like a circus,
(Uh uh uh uh uh- huh)
Don't stand there watching me, follow me, show me what you can do,
Everybody let go, we can make a dancefloor, just like a circus
I'm like the ring leader, I call the shots,
I'm like a firecracker, I make it hot,
When I put on a show, I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins,
Spotlight on me, and I'm ready to break,
I'm like a performer, the dancefloor is my stage,
Better be ready, hope that ya feel the same.
All eyes on me, in the centre of the ring, just like a circus,
(Uh uh uh uh uh- huh)
When I crack that whip, everybody gonn' trip just like a circus,
(Uh uh uh uh uh- huh)
Don't stand there watching me, follow me, show me what you can do,
Everybody let go, we can make a dancefloor, just like a circus
