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 I'mma 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 wanna go, to the party she gon' go
Can't somebody take me home?
Haha, hehe, haha, ho

Love me, hate me
Say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls
Are begging 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 begging to if you seek Amy

(Love me, hate me) La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la

Amy told me that she's gonna meet me up
I don't know where or when and now they're closin' 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 standin' 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 wanna go, to the party she gon' go
Can't somebody take me home?
Haha, hehe, haha, ho

Love me, hate me
Say what you want about me
But all of the boys and all of the girls
Are begging 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 begging to if you seek Amy

(Love me, hate me) Ohhhh, say what you want about me
Ohhhh, but can't you see what I see?
(Love me, hate me) Yeahh, say what you want about me
(La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la)

So tell me if you see 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'll like
Oh baby, baby, baby
Oh baby, baby, baby...

La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la

    General Comment:In the spring of 2009, Spears released ``If U Seek Amy'' - the third single from her ``Circus'' album -amid much controversy and public outcry. It was produced and co-written by Swedish songwriter Max Martin (``... Baby One More Time,'' ``Oops!... I Did It Again'').

    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

    The song, with its barely veiled sexual innuendo, somehow managed to sneak past radio watchdogs and into homes across the land, where children as young as four and five years old could be found innocently singing along to what was obviously - at least to the children's parents - an offensive, distasteful, and repugnant song. To calm the uproar, a new radio edit was released. With the drop of a `k,' the title changed to ``If U See Amy,'' which did appease some. There were, however, stations that continued to play the original version.

    So was Britney really singing about an act as old as mankind itself? The majority seem to think so. There is a possibility though, that she was just letting the world know that - love her or hate her - she knows they all want a piece of her.

    General Comment:you guys are all missing the depth. and the hint that shes really not saying if you seek amy. she keeps searching for Amy the whole song, but never finds her and isnt really sure that shes real. "amy told me she was gonna meet me up, dont know where or when and there closing up the club"

    Song Meaning:I totally get the f-u-c-k-m-e thing, but didn't Ms. Spears have some drug issues around the time of recording this? I thought 'Amy' may have been short for 'amphetemine'. 'Amy' is a slang word for it, so could the song be about trying to score drugs? 'can't get her off my brain' 'want to go to the party she's going to' and other references. I know it is a reach, but thought I'd throw it out there anyway. ;)

    Song Meaning:The video has two personalities. One of them is when Britney (Amy) is the wild party girl, then near the end, she's the so called, "perfect wife" which is the 2nd personality.

    My Interpretation:i think it has to do with her drug use party era and amy is her dealer or part of her after hour party people in that area.

    General Comment:
    Honestly though parents are ranting about this song, or were, well they're the idiots aren't they?!! Have they SEEN the film clip? In fact have they EVER seen a Britney, post 2001 clip??? Or song?? are they naive?? Perhaps. Idiots. No complaining.

    She is, Britney Spears. Enough said. Gosh... on Wiki it says this Mum was complaining about her 5 & 7 year olds singing it... GROW A BRAIN!

    I do like the song :)
