Blurb:
"Toxic" is a Grammy Award-winning song and the second single from the album In the Zone by pop superstar Britney Spears, released during the first quarter of 2004 and an international #1 smash hit.
The Bloodshy and Avant-produced "Toxic", which has been described as a pop song crossed with a James Bond theme song, boasts both Bollywood strings and slick production, with writing credits from Cathy Dennis and others.
The song is about Britney falling in love with a man. She feels addicted to him: he is like a drug for her. His effect on her is like alcohol or drugs: she calls it a "poison paradise". On the one hand, it is "paradise" because it makes her feel high ("too high: can't come down", "I'm on a ride", "I'm loving it"). On the other hand, it is "poison" ("you're toxic") because she feels addicted to his love ("I need a hit", "There's no escape") and "it's dangerous" (she thinks "a guy like you should wear a warning").
The Joseph Kahn-directed music video for "Toxic" ranks with "I'm a Slave 4 U" as Britney's most risqué. Like "...Baby One More Time", Spears came up with the entire concept on her own.

Baby, can’t you see
I’m calling
A guy like you
Should wear a warning
It’s dangerous
I’m fallin’
There’s no escape
I can’t hide
I need a hit
Baby, give me it
You’re dangerous
I’m lovin’ it
Too high
Can’t come down
Losing my head
Spinning ‘round and ‘round
Do you feel me now
With a taste of your lips
I’m on a ride
You’re toxic
I’m slipping under
With a taste of poison paradise
I’m addicted to you
Don’t you know that you’re toxic
And I love what you do
Don’t you know that you’re toxic
It’s getting late
To give it up
I took a sip
From my devil cup
Slowly
It’s taking over me
Too high
Can’t come down
It’s in the air
And it’s all around
Can you feel me now
With a taste of your lips
I’m on a ride
You’re toxic
I’m slipping under
With a taste of poison paradise
I’m addicted to you
Don’t you know that you’re toxic
And I love what you do
Don’t you know that you’re toxic
Don’t you know that you’re toxic
Taste of my lips and having fun
With a taste of your lips
I’m on a ride
You’re toxic
I’m slipping under
With a taste of poison paradise
I’m addicted to you
Don’t you know that you’re toxic
And I love what you do
Don’t you know that you’re toxic
With a taste of your lips
I’m on a ride
You’re toxic
I’m slipping under
With a taste of poison paradise
I’m addicted to you
Don’t you know that you’re toxic
And I love what you do
Don’t you know that you’re toxic
I’m intoxicated now
I think you’ll love it now
I think I’m ready now
I think I’m ready now
I’m intoxicated now
I think you’ll love it now
I think I’m ready now
