About Mmm Papi

"Mmm Papi" is a song by American singer Britney Spears. The song was written by Spears and Nicole Morier, while additional writing and song production were done by Canadian band Let's Go to War, whose members are Henry Walter, Adrien Gough and Peter-John Kerr, for Spears' sixth studio album, Circus (2008). "Mmm Papi" is noted for having a Latin pop influence, similar to Madonna's "La Isla Bonita" (1987). The lyrics of the song tell about a woman who has an attraction to a man, longing for him to come and take her away. "Mmm Papi" received generally unfavorable reviews from contemporary critics. Many said the song represents Spears' trouble with men, and speculated that its lyrics deal to either her father James Spears or paparazzi Adnan Ghalib. The speculations were later denied by co-writer Morier. The song was also compared to Rosemary Clooney's "Come On-a My House" (1951). Despite not being released as a single, "Mmm Papi" managed to peak at number ninety-four on Billboard Pop 100, due to moderate airplay on mainstream top 40 radio stations, singles sales, and digital downloads.

Baby
I can be your sweet baby
When things get crazy
Make sure you come and save me (save me)

Lil' miss fast car
I can really get far
And don't break my heart
Let's make out (Let's make out! Let's make out!)

You can come take me away
There's no pressure play all day
Hold me tight and don't let go!
Mmm Papa love you
Mmm Papa love you
You love it when I'm freakin' out
Things get rough and there's no doubt
You will always be there for me
Mmm Papa love you
Mmm Papa love you

Stuck in
The middle of it all
To many people around me
Can you hear me call?
I look this way
And you're not there
If you dont mind
My soul out there

Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa

You can come take me away
There's no pressure play all day
Hold me tight and don't let go!
Mmm Papa love you
Mmm Papa love you
You love it when I'm freakin' out
Things get rough and there's no doubt
You will always be there for me
Mmm Papa love you
Mmm Papa love you

Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa, Mmm Papi
Mmm Papi, Mmm Papi, Mmm Papi
Mmm Luvi, Mmm Luvi, Mmm Papi

(You will always be there for me)
(You will always be there for me)

You love it when I'm freakin' out
Things get rough and there's no doubt
You love it when I'm freakin' out
Things get rough and there's no doubt

You can come take me away
There's no pressure play all day
Hold me tight and don't let go!
Mmm Papa love you
Mmm Papa love you
You love it when I'm freakin' out
Things get rough and there's no doubt
You will always be there for me
Mmm Papa love you
Mmm Papa love you

Now see!
I'm mommy!
And that make you Papi!
And that makes us Luvi!

Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa, Mmm Papa [Repeat: x3]
