Why is it "Overprotected (Radio Edit)"? Is there an extended version of it?

It's exactly so as summed up by yourself. 

 

As far as the lyrics go, I can confirm, it's the *win* version the correct one, since this was one of the topics on exhale not long ago, with a video snipped of Britney herself correcting the guy interviewing her. 

Do you have that video link?

this "radio edit" makes sense on the darkchild remix... we have the verion WITH and  WITHOUT the intro.

It's not. It's just that the digital song is mislabeled as Radio Edit when it's just the album version, but the actual radio edit on physical format doesn't have it.

Yes! And the Radio Edit is actually from this CD release:

That's because it was a promo CD for the darkchild remix so they added Radio Edit of normal version as a bonus and labeled it as a Album Version. Normal version also have a promo CD on it's own but Radio Edit is not included on that one.

you are SO right!

I thought we came to the conclusion that the lyric was "What am I to do-do with my life?" in that previous thread, so the plot thickens

There it is:

Not sure whether the OP found the original snippet, but this is the interview where she corrects the guy and even sings the first line of the chorus.

The lyrics are also misspelled during the chorus:

Correct: What am I to do to *win* my life? (confirmed by Britney herself) 

Wrong: What am I to do *with* my life? (found everywhere online, even during the official lyric video with the Crossroads outtakes) 

I've always known it to be "to win my life" but I can see how some may have misunderstood it to be "with my life"

That with 'win' is new to me. 

I ran over to this video of an acapella of overprotected to see how did it actually sound like... And... I don't know if i'm suggesting myself but it sounds like 'win my life' to me.

Now the weird thing is that on both spotify and youtube the lyrics are with 'with'.
