The Best and Worst Love Advice From Britney Spears Songs

Britney Spears turns 34 today, and we have to wonder — is she listening to her own hits and dancing it out to celebrate? Britney's lyrics have taught us about love and relationships: some good and some bad. I took a look at Brit's hits and distilled the not-so-deep yet still entertaining advice contained within. Here's the best and the worst advice courtesy of Miss Britney Jean Spears (or her songwriters, at least).

01

Bad: We Should Get Down in Public

Song:"Gimme More"
Lyrics: "We can get down
Like there's no one around
We keep on rockin', we keep on rockin'
Cameras are flashin' while we're dirty dancin'."

02

Good: Sometimes Enough Is Enough

Song: "Stronger"
Lyrics: "Hush, just stop
There's nothing you can do or say, baby
I've had enough
I'm not your property."

Lyrics: "Oh baby, baby
The reason I breathe is you."

04

Good: Womanizers Need Not Apply

What do you say?"

(Are you ready)
Leaving behind my name, my age."

Good: Cut a Poor Guy Loose

Song: "Oops . . . I Did It Again"
Lyrics: "I made you believe
We're more than just friends.
Oh, baby;
It might seem like a crush,
But it doesn't mean
That I'm serious."

The dance floor is my stage
Better be ready, hope that you feel the same."
