Britney Jean Spears (born December 2, 1981) is an American recording artist and entertainer. Born in McComb, Mississippi, and raised in Kentwood, Louisiana, Spears began performing as a child, landing acting roles in stage productions and television shows. She signed with Jive Records in 1997 and released her debut album ...Baby One More Time in 1999, which became the best-selling album by a teenage solo artist. During her first decade in the music industry, she became a prominent figure in mainstream popular music and popular culture, followed by a much-publicized personal life. Her first two albums established her as a pop icon and broke sales records, while title tracks "...Baby One More Time" and "Oops!... I Did It Again" became international number-one hits.

Verse 1)
Promises you made me
All the things you told me
You said you'd never leave me
We'd be together for eternity
Now it's all in the past
Now I know our love will last
Lady I will do all I can
Lady I will be all I am
I'll give you all you had before
So come on in and close the door
Let me show you what I could be
Could you just please tell me
(Chorus)
Do you believe in love
And the promise that it gives
I wanna love U 4 life
'Cause your love is why I live
Do you believe in love
And the promise that it gives
I wanna love U 4 life
'Cause your love is why I live
(Verse 2)
I knew the thing girl
But my faith wasn't strong enough
Now my heart is built to last
My heart is beating for you fast
But now I know that you understand
I wanna take you by the hand
And walk with you down that isle
And with you I'll live my life
I give you all you had before
So come on in and close the door
Let me show you what I could be
If you just please tell me
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
I want you to know that it's for real
This feeling that I feel
I want you to know that it's so real
(Chorus/Fade Out)
