Everytime

Britney Spears · In The Zone [2003]

Notice me, take my hand

Why are we, strangers when

Our love is strong

Why carry on without me?



Every time I try, to fly I fall

Without my wings, I feel so small

I guess I need you, Baby



And every time I see, you in my dreams

I see your face, it's haunting me

I guess I need you, Baby



I make believe, that you are here

It's the only way I see clear

What have I done?

You seem to move on easy



And every time I try, to fly I fall

Without my wings, I feel so small

I guess I need you, Baby



And every time I see, you in my dreams

I see your face, you're haunting me

I guess I need you, Baby



I may have made it rain

Please forgive me

My weakness caused you pain

And this song's my sorry



At night I pray

That soon your face will fade away



And every time I try, to fly I fall

Without my wings, I feel so small

I guess I need you, Baby



And every time I see, you in my dreams

I see your face, you're haunting me

I guess I need you, Baby

Everytime

Everytime stands as a defining ballad from Britney Spears' fourth studio album, In The Zone. Released in 2003, the track marked a significant shift toward a more introspective and mature sound within her discography. Departing from the high-energy pop that characterized her earlier work, the song showcases Spears' ability to convey deep emotion through a minimalist arrangement. It remains a staple of her catalogue, often cited by critics and fans alike as one of her most poignant vocal performances. The recording solidified her status not just as a pop icon, but as an artist capable of delivering nuanced, heartfelt material that resonated deeply with audiences during a pivotal era in her career.
