Overprotected: “What am I to do TO WIN my life” not “WITH”

[Tetris]

I just caught a Suggested Reel in my Instagram feed that was from this interview: 

right where it cuts at 7:34-7:35 (talking about “control”). In the missing clip (which was the Reel), the interviewer asks her about the meaning behind this Overprotected lyric. He sort of stumbles over the words, but then Britney literally SINGS the line a cappella during her answer. The interviewer had included the word “win” and Britney herself then sings “what am I to do TO WIN my life.”
 

Sorry if this is old news… But people in the comments were also gagged to find out that these are the correct lyrics. (And now I hear it crystal clear in the song.) Unfortunately, I cannot for the life of me find the Reel again…and that specific clip is cut from all the videos of this interview posted on YouTube.

Has anybody else seen this???

had not seen this, wow!

I have always thought it was “to win” but everyone else and lyrics I saw said it was “with”. Even now I can’t hear it as WITH but I tell myself I’m just wrong! Good to know I haven’t been crazy for 20+ years. 
(Well I have but for different reasons🫠)

Thank you for this detail!  Overprotected (album version): by far my all time favorite song from Britney's entire catalogue! I always had trouble with that exact line:

"What am I to do with my life?"

I was always hearing an extra syllable, whatever that word may be. I just didn't want to believe that this ("What am I to do with my life?") is the official version.

Thank God this has been officially cleared.

That’s actually a very good name for book or a movie.
