Britney Spears – Circus lyrics
There's only two types of people in the world:
The ones that entertain, and the ones that observe
Oh baby, I'm a put-on-a-show kinda girl
Don't like the backseat, gotta be first

(Whoa)

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 that you feel the same

All eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip everybody gon' trip
Just like a circus

Don't stand there watchin' 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 the ones that are scared
So baby, I hope that you came prepared
I run a tight shift, so beware

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 that you feel the same


All eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip everybody gon' trip
Just like a circus

Don't stand there watchin' me,
Follow me, show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor
Just like a circus


Let's go!

(Uh, uh, uh, uh, Uh-huh)
Let me see what you can do
(Uh, uh, uh, uh, Uh-huh)
I'm running this
(Like, like, like, like a circus)
Yeah, like a what?
(Like, like, like, like a circus)

All eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip everybody gon' trip
Just like a circus

Don't stand there watchin' me,
Follow me, show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor
Just like a circus

All eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip everybody gone trip
Just like a circus

Don't stand there watchin' me,
Follow me, show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor
Just like a circus

    Guys please don't judge me but some of the lyrics talks about "FNAF2". It's because this "there's only two types of guys out there: ones that can hang with me, and the ones that are scared So baby, I hope that you came prepared I run a tight shift, so beware." so two types of guys are Mike and Jermey right? So if one of them hangs with Freddy Fazbear it be one of them being stuffed into a suit. And one of them are scared because of these animatronics going to be stuffed into a suit. And Freddy is one who runs the tight shift or should I say the "night shift". He said "so beware" so that means watch out or you going to be stuffed in a Freddy Fazbear suit.

    My name is Lacey Potter and I am going to die in 10 days. I am sworn to secrecy by my horrible cousins. I will be very grateful if you copy and paste this message onto 6 other lyric pages. If you don't I will kill you in your kitchen one very rainy and dreary day and you will die on the floor bleeding and crying and nobody will hear you because I will do it when noone is home besides you. If you do it I will come to you in your dreams and tell you the aweful secret my very evil cousins have sworn me to. But bewarecause I am as skinny as a pole and my face is sinking into my skull and I have cuts all over my body pouring with blood because I have tried to escape the evil laughs and torture of my cousins but have failed miserably -- creepy!
