Mannequin Lyrics

Home late, it's ok,
I run this, he wants me,
I get things, everything.
I want it,
My own way, your time, goldmines,
Blue skies, all mine
Necklace, dresses, excess.

I can't help myself, I'm just doin' what I do,
Help myself to anything that I want so thank you,
I like it and I do what I like,
And you do what I like and you like it.

If you wanna just
Scream,
Scream your lungs out,
If you wanna just
Cry,
Cry your eyes out,
I'mma do my,
Thing.

That's what I'm about.

You can cry your eyes out of your head,
Baby, baby,
I don't care, I don't care,
I don't care, I don't care,
You can cry(-cry-cry) again(-gain-gain),
My face like a mannequin,
(Scream)
Mannequin, yea I did,
It again and again,
You can cry(-cry-cry) again(-gain-gain),
My face like a mannequin.

You told me you lonely,
Can't hear you, can't feel you,
I'm frozen, I'm posing,
There's no way you move me,
Watch me, dress me,
Can't impress me,
I'm not changing. I just...

I can't help myself, I'm just doin' what I do,
Help myself to anything that I want so thank you,
I like it and I do what I like,
And you do what I like and you like it.

If you wanna just
Scream,
Scream your lungs out,
If you wanna just
Cry,
Cry your eyes out,
I'mma do my,
Thing.

That's what I'm about.

You can cry your eyes out of your head,
Baby, baby,
I don't care, I don't care,
I don't care, I don't care,
You can cry(-cry-cry) again(-gain-gain),
My face like a mannequin,
(Scream)
Mannequin, yea I did,
It again and again,
You can cry(-cry-cry) again(-gain-gain),

My face like a mannequin.

My face like a mannequin.

My face like a mannequin.

My face like a mannequin.

My face like a mannequin.

Watch me,
(Watch me, watch me, watch me,
Watch me, watch me, watch me,
Watch me, watch me, watch me,
Watch me, watch me, watch me,
Watch me, watch me...)


If you wanna just
Scream,
Scream your lungs out,
If you wanna just
Cry,
Cry your eyes out,
I'mma do my,
Thing.

That's what I'm about.

You can cry your eyes out of your head,
Baby, baby,
I don't care, I don't care,
I don't care, I don't care,
You can cry(-cry-cry) again(-gain-gain),
My face like a mannequin,
(Scream)
Mannequin, yea I did,
It again and again,
You can cry(-cry-cry) again(-gain-gain),


My face like a mannequin.

My face like a mannequin.

My face like a mannequin.

My face like a mannequin.

My face like a mannequin.

Fantastic song! Easily one of my favorites on the album. I read that it was supposedly about her mother.

Song Meaning

if you wanna see it in a different light, "futuristic sex cyborg" seems to sum it all up. its a pretty chill song thats tells a story. the emotionless in her voice during "i dont care." shows the lack of emotion in a robot. nice! cant wait to see this as a music video. lol! in a deeper definition, i agree with Be frank! most def.

I think its almost definitely about Kevin moreso than her mom. Especially after hearing what she had to say about him on 'For The Record' it seems clear as day. I like how she's using that situation and twisting it to empower herself.

My Interpretation

The song is about her doing what she wants and not having no feelings when someone says something about it. LOL! It's so funny / cocky / bossy. A perfect "I don't give a F*** song". lol.

She doesn't care about what people say about what she's doing (or not doing). Her face just stays emotionless...LIKE A MANNEQUIN!!! Genius song Britney!! She's also credited as a writer on this one by the way:)

By the way, one of the lyrics are wrong. In the second verse it's not "I JUST..." it's "ADJUST".

"You told me you lonely, Can't hear you, can't feel you, I'm frozen, I'm posing, There's no way you move me, Watch me, dress me, Can't impress me, I'm not changing. ADJUST."

Since she's gonna do whatever the hell she wants no matter what anyone says, she tells them that she's not changing and they need to ADJUST to what she's gonna do. LOL! So b*tchy! lol.

The lyrics are very hard to catch. Good job to whoever did the current lyrics. I think that was the only mistake I caught.

Song Meaning

haha that is exactly how i described this song to my brother "it's so bossy and funny"

i always smile or laugh when the chorus comes up. i can imagine telling someone "my face like a mannequin" when i don't care for what they have to say.

Okay so is it just me, or does it sound like she's saying "love is like a mannequin" insted of "my face is like a mannequin"? because although "my face" works better and is more appropriate for the song, I'm hearing "love".

got my heart set, do anything that i want so thank you, i like it and i do what i like, and if do what i like, then you’ll like it,

^ that's fun to sing along too :D
