Hey, Britney Jean... Lyrics

Hey Britney Jean, on my wall

Picture perfect Barbie doll

A star so bright, you couldn't hide

They built you up to watch you fall

Britney Jean from the South

They said you'd never make it out

You got your dreams, became the queen

But what's it cost to wear that crown?

We hear you crying in the dead of night

We see you trying, baby, one more time

I know they turned your wings to cages, called you crazy, took it all, left you with none

But baby, they're the crazy ones 

Britney Jean, we wish we knew 

The things that you were going through 

There was so more to you than what was on tv

And all the men we couldn't see

Who profited behind the scenes

Treating women like machines

Like Amy Jade and Norma Jeane

We hear you crying in the dead of night

We see you trying, baby, one more time

I know they turned your wings to cages, called you crazy, took it all, left you with none

But baby, they're the crazy ones 

And we're sorry

We let them put you on display for money, oh honey,

When I was young I always hoped I'd get a chance to be that lucky

Innocent and oh-so-lovely

Now we only want you to be free

Hey Britney Jean, all alone

We didn't know what we didn't know

But now we do, we're here for you

Britney Jean, come on home

We hear you crying baby,

We see you trying

Though they turned your wings to cages, called you crazy, took it all, left you with none

Ooh but baby, they're the crazy ones
