[Verse 1]
Oh, baby, baby, have you seen Amy tonight?
Is she in the bathroom, is she smoking up outside? (Oh)
Oh, baby, baby, does she take a piece of lime
For the drink that I'ma buy her?
Do you know just what she likes? (Oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
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 somebody take me home?
Ha-ha-he-he-ha-ha-ho
[Chorus]
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
[Interlude]
(Love me, hate me)
La, la, la, la, la-la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la-la, la, la
[Verse 2]
Amy told me that she's gonna meet me up
I don't know where or when, and now they're closing 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 standing in the way (Oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
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 somebody take me home?
Ha-ha-he-he-ha-ha-ho
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
(Love me, hate me) Oh, say what you want about me
Oh, but can't you see what I see?
(Love me, hate me) Oh, say what you want about me
('Bout me, 'bout me)
[Bridge]
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 like
Oh, baby, baby, baby
Oh, baby, baby, baby
[Refrain]
La, la, la, la, la-la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la-la, la, la

[Chorus]
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, say what you want about me (Yeah, yeah)
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
[Post-Chorus]
(Love me, hate me) Oh, say what you want about me
Oh, but can't you see what I see?
(Love me, hate me) Oh, say what you want about me
All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek Amy

Max Martin, who did “Baby One More Time” for me, one of my first songs, he did “If You Seek Amy”. And it’s a really really cool song. It’s a great uptempo, it’s fun to dance to and it’s awesome. It’s really cool.
