Take The Bait
Britney Spears · Other Songs - Britney Spears
I got the bait to catch ya, i'm the big fish in the pond
And i'm fishing with a pole, they call me silvers john long
If that don't excite ya and i'm talkin way too much
Dial nemo and you're single danja, britney and the clutch
I see you fishing and you're wishin that i'd
Just take the bait
You think the girls up in this club are all like
Fish in a tank
Keep throwin line out after line but
One by one they all sink
You're off the hook
But your body i like
And i think i think
I might bite
Give it to me straight don't make me wonder wonder
Now look me in my eye tell me there's no other
Better reel me in don't let the line break
I might take the bait tonight
Might take the bait tonight
Oh i-i
Might take the bait tonight
Oh i-i
Better reel me in don't let the line break
I might take the bait tonight
I just might take the bait tonight
Reach out and grab me you can have me
If you wait long enough
I'll just make circle around you if i don't
See what i want
Most girls take anything you throw them
But i'm calling your bluff
I'm off the hook
But i'm worth the wait
If you want me that's what it takes
You caught me boy and i'm a keeper
You play this right you just might keep her
Ain't you getting tired of the fishing
You just don't know what you been missing
Here it goes
Let me know
And i'm fishing with a pole, they call me silvers john long
If that don't excite ya and i'm talkin way too much
Dial nemo and you're single danja, britney and the clutch
I see you fishing and you're wishin that i'd
Just take the bait
You think the girls up in this club are all like
Fish in a tank
Keep throwin line out after line but
One by one they all sink
You're off the hook
But your body i like
And i think i think
I might bite
Give it to me straight don't make me wonder wonder
Now look me in my eye tell me there's no other
Better reel me in don't let the line break
I might take the bait tonight
Might take the bait tonight
Oh i-i
Might take the bait tonight
Oh i-i
Better reel me in don't let the line break
I might take the bait tonight
I just might take the bait tonight
Reach out and grab me you can have me
If you wait long enough
I'll just make circle around you if i don't
See what i want
Most girls take anything you throw them
But i'm calling your bluff
I'm off the hook
But i'm worth the wait
If you want me that's what it takes
You caught me boy and i'm a keeper
You play this right you just might keep her
Ain't you getting tired of the fishing
You just don't know what you been missing

Take The Bait
