[Verse 1]
They couldn't believe I did it that I was so committed
My life was so restricted for you
I just dove inside it blind, couldn't see what swam inside
Thought that'd be romantic for you
[Verse 2]
Exchanged my vows and said it all, woman let's prepare to fall
Even screaming, damn it, for you
My friends said you would play me but I just said they're crazy
While I was crying frantic, was it true?
[Chorus]
Why should I be sad? Heaven knows
From the stupid freaking things that you do
Why should I get mad? Feel sad? Who knows?
Just take it all as a sign that we're through
[Post-Chorus]
(Goodbye)
It's time for me to move along (Goodbye)
It's time for me to get it on (Okay)
I'm tired of singing sad songs (Alright)
It's time for me (Britney, let's go)
[Verse 3]
I sent you to Vegas with a pocket full of paper
And with no ultimatums on you
I thought "What could separate us?"
But it just seemed that Vegas
Only brought the player outta you
[Verse 4]
Lavish homes and fancy cars, even got the drop Ferrari
Filled up our garage for you
Made your choice with all the teams
People and US Magazines
Tell me, who'd I do that for? Who?
[Chorus]
Why should I be sad? Heaven knows
From the stupid freaking things that you do
Why should I get mad? Feel sad? Who knows?
Just take it all as a sign that we're through
[Post-Chorus]
(Goodbye)
It's time for me to move along (Goodbye)
It's time for me to get it on (Okay)
I'm tired of singing sad songs (Alright)
It's time for me (Britney, let's go)
It's time for me to move along (Goodbye)
It's time for me to get it on (Okay)
I'm tired of singing sad songs (Alright)
It's time for me (Britney, let's go)
[Bridge]
And don't you worry about our angels
They'll get good guidance and be trained well
And don't you worry about our angels
(All the magazines trying to intervene)
(Saying things in the gossip section)
They'll get good guidance and be trained well
(Don't worry, I'll keep our little secret but I ask this question)
[Chorus]
Why should I be sad? Heaven knows
From the stupid freaking things that you do
Why should I get mad? Feel sad? Who knows?
Just take it all as a sign that we're through
[Post-Chorus]
(Alright)
It's time for me to move along (Goodbye)
It's time for me to get it on (Okay)
I'm tired of singing sad songs (Alright)
It's time for me (Britney, let's go)
It's time for me to move along (Goodbye)
It's time for me to get it on (Okay)
I'm tired of singing sad songs (Alright)
It's time for me (Britney, let's go)
[Outro]
(Goodbye)
(Oh, Britney, let's go)
It's time for me to move along
It's time for me to get it on
I'm tired of singing sad songs
It's time for me (Britney, let's go)
Britney, let's go
