Britney Spears said “She’ll Never Be Me”
July 29, 2008 by Sherry
I had never heard about this, but there’s some new buzz out about a song that allegedly was written by Britney Spears after Justin Timberlake started dating Cameron Diaz. Some say it was her response to J.T.’s “Cry Me a River”, but it’s not clear if that’s true or not.
The song is called “She’ll Never Be Me” and revolves around how Cameron Diaz may have some physical similarities to Britney but that she’ll never be a replacement for the real thing. I’ve included the lyrics below the cut. The song was never officially released (so I don’t even really know how the song is out there at all) and there’s obviously no official video for it but naturally some fans have taken a stab at it themselves. I found a great video with clips of Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and Cameron Diaz to fit the song. Here it is, check it out!
As promised, the lyrics are below…
She’ll Never Be Me:
You know I’m one of a kind;
Boy what’s this I see,
Your girl she looks just like me,
Blond hair and dressed to a T,You tell me how can this be,
If she knew I was the one,
Who used to turn you on,
Yeah,But you don’t want to talk about it
When you think you can find
Someone to fill my shoes
And you ask yourself whyThat she don’t do the things I do
And you can’t deny
That everywhere you go
You see my face hear my name
And it eats you up inside[ CHORUS ]
You know I’m one of a kind
There’ll never be another me
Can’t get me out of your mind
You’re lost in your own fantasy
And when you look in my eyes
Is it hard for you to realize
She’ll never be meWhy can’t you see it girl
Got no idenity
Whenever he’s watching you
He’s really thinking of meIf she knew I was the one,
Who used to turn you on,
Yeah,
But you don’t want to talk about itWhen you think you can find
Someone to fill my shoes
And you ask yourself why
That she don’t do the things I doAnd you can’t deny
That everywhere you go
You see my face hear my name
And it eats you up inside[ CHORUS ]
You know I’m one of a kind
There’ll never be another me
Can’t get me out of your mind
You’re lost in your own fantasy
And when you look in my eyes
Is it hard for you to realize
She’ll never be me
never be me
You know I’m one of a kind
There’ll never be another me
Can’t get me out of your mind
You’re lost in your own fantasy
And when you look in my eyes
Is it hard for you to realize
She’ll never…never be meWhen you think you can find
Someone to fill my shoes
And you ask yourself why
That she don’t do the things I do
And you can’t deny
That everywhere you go
You see my face hear my name
And it eats you up inside[ CHORUS ]
You know I’m one of a kind
There’ll never be another me
Can’t get me out of your mind
You’re lost in your own fantasy
And when you look in my eyes
Is it hard for you to realize
She’ll never be me
What do you think? I’ve heard some rumors that she might include it on her new album. I think the song is great and I would love to hear it released for real.
Hi Sherry ! Really I dont know what to say about this song. I do think that there is hardly any comparison here of what is written, existed and handled in this semi-private song that refers to some kind of human instincts. sherry ! I am always frank, no rhyme, no rhythm,adding to this there are some wrong structures that can be used when writing poetry.Sherry! which new album do u mean, of Britney or Cameron Diaz? Sherry ! u were attracted by the dancing music of that clever musician ! Britney I wish u the best of luck.
Sherry ! I am so worried now. Look ! Sherry ! {she (dont ) do the things I do ! } even the title of the song shows pride and prejudice, something that is not acceptable or drawing attention. Sherry ! I think that Britney may be still affected by that close separation between her and K-Fed. Sherry ! {she will never be me ! never be me ! } give very weak feelings not strong ones. This is as if she has the pride to beg her lover. ! Sherry ! I am very worried again. Sherry ! I have said more and more that songs that are to be directed and written on the purpose of pride, prejudice, confrontation,hunting for the others mistakes and so on are called passed, weak and dead songs.And now I got tired as Mr Ne-Yo .
Sherry ! I got tired not of Britney,but lyrics !
I… you know, I just really like the song. That’s all.
Hi Sherry ! look ! {you tell me how can this be / but you dont want to talk about it !!!! how ? } to tell hiding what you say at the same time ? Are we comparing inner and outer feelings as someone were talking and replying him / herself and going private with none. Sherry ! I u are very kind and nice adding to this I know……..!
Sherry ! Look ! {that everywhere you go you see my face hear my name and it eats you up inside……!!!!!! } here we are out off the main theme which is off …..Ok Sherry ! Britney I wish you the best of luck
Sherry ! Look ! {There will never be another me } wanna say that she is not in need of reminding her fans or anyoneelse of her. It is better to let us say this. Britney is still and will be memorable . Sherry ! praising oneself is something unfavourable and is against the language of poetry and music as it may not arouse people interest . I do think so, dont you? Britney I wish you the best of luck.
Hey y’all. This song has been “out” since 2003. I think it’s hardly about Cameron.
This was written for the “BRITNEY” album but didn’t make the cut.
It’s so 2001.
