About Let Me Be

"Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know" is a song recorded by American singer Britney Spears for her second studio album, Oops!... I Did It Again (2000). It was released on January 15, 2001, by Jive Records as the fourth and final single from the album. After meeting with producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange in Switzerland, Spears recorded several songs for the album, including "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know", which she considered one of her favorites on the album. Additional lyrics were written by guitar player Keith Scott and country pop singer Shania Twain. The teen pop ballad speaks of a woman wanting to hear her boyfriend say that he loves her, and is sonically similar to David Bowie and Iggy Pop's song "China Girl" (1983). "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know" received mostly positive reviews from music critics, who considered it a good break from the album's genre and praised Spears' vocals, comparing them to those of Twain and Stevie Wonder. The song attained moderate commercial success, reaching number one in Romania, and peaking inside the top ten in Austria, Europe and Switzerland, while reaching top twenty positions in many European countries. "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know" was only released for mainstream radio in the United States; therefore, it failed to chart on any major music chart in the country. more »

You try to read me
You try to figure out
You try to breathe me
But you can't blow me out
You try to feel me, but I'm so out of touch
I won't be falling
You won't have to pick me up

Sorry if I sound confused
I don't feel the way you do

But I won't turn around
But I won't turn around

You think that I might back down but I won't
Think that I might have doubts but I don't
No insecurities
Won't you just let me, let me be
Think that you know me now, but you don't
Think that I-I can't stand on my own
Ain't my philosophy
Won't you just let me, let me be

Trust in my instincts
Trust that I know what's right
These are the reasons that keep you up at night (at night)

Tell me "Go slow", this is my flow
'Cause you don't know, know what I know
Let me tell you how it feels
Baby it's time that you see me for real

Sorry if I sound confused
I don't feel the way you do
But I won't turn around
But I won't turn around

You think that I might back down but I won't
Think that I might have doubts but I don't
No insecurities
Won't you just let me, let me be
Think that you know me now, but you don't
Think that I-I can't stand on my own
Ain't my philosophy
Won't you just let me, let me be

Trust that I know, this is my show
Letting you know, gotta go the way I go
Trust that I know, this is my show
Letting you know, gotta go the way I go

You think that I might back down but I won't
Think that I might have doubts but I don't
No insecurities
Won't you just let me, let me be
Think that you know me now, but you don't
Think that I-I can't stand on my own
Ain't my philosophy
Won't you just let me, let me be

You think that I might back down but I won't
Think that I might have doubts but I don't
No insecurities
Won't you just let me, let me be
Think that you know me now, but you don't
Think that I-I can't stand on my own
Ain't my philosophy
Won't you just let me, let me be
