I’d never gone with the wind
Just let it flow
Let it take me where it wants to go
‘Til you open the door
There’s so much more
I’d never seen it before
I was trying to fly
But I couldn’t find wings
But you came along and you changed everything
[Chorus:]
You lift my feet off the ground
You spin me around
You make me crazier, crazier
Feels like I’m falling and I am lost in your eyes
You make me crazier, crazier, crazier
I’ve watched from a distance as you made life your own
Every sky was your own kind of blue
And I wanted to know how that would feel
And you made it so real
You showed me something that I couldn’t see
You opened my eyes
And you made me believe
[Chorus]
Baby you showed me what living is for
I don’t wanna hide anymore
Oh oh
You lift my feet off the ground
You spin me around
You make me crazier, crazier
Feels like I’m fallin’ and I am lost in your eyes
You make me crazier, crazier, crazier
Crazier, crazier.
Hangin’ round downtown
By myself
And I had so much time
To sit and think
About myself
And then there she was
Like double cherry pie
Yeah there she was
Like disco superfly
I smell sex and
Candy here
Who’s that lounging
In my chair
Who’s that casting
Devious stares
In my direction
Mama this surely
Is a dream
Hangin’ ’round downtown by myself
And I had too
Much caffeine
And I was thinkin’
’bout myself
And then there she was
In platform double suede
Yeah there she was
Like disco lemonade
I smell sex and
Candy here
Who’s that lounging
In my chair
Who’s that casting
Devious stares
In my direction
Mama this surely
Is a dream
Mama this surely
Is a dream
Yeah mama this must
Be my dream
And don’t let your lipstick wear
We’ll make a swift escape
Yeah, and use the rest to write it down
So that we can remember the way your father turned around
To say, “Oh boy, just chose a side”
But I wanna waste your time
Yeah, I wanna waste your time
Oh, into the night
Oh, but don’t let your lovin’ show
Oh, we’ll find new home
Yeah, and use the rest to build it up
So we can remember the way your father turned around
To say, “Oh boy, just chose a side”
But I wanna waste your time
Yeah, I wanna waste your time
Oh, and my mother said when I was born
My father we won the war
Well, my mother said when I was born
Well my father swore we won the war
But I wanna waste your time
Yeah, I wanna waste your time
Oh, into the night
Yeah, I wanna waste your time
Oh, I wanna waste your time
Oh, into the night
[Hook x2:]
She’s fallin’ in love now
Losin’ control now
Fightin’ the truth
Tryin’ to hide
But I think it’s alright girl
Yeah, I think it’s alright girl
She’s falling but she doesn’t think he’ll catch her
Cause her last relationship was a disaster
Accusations everyday she didn’t know why
All her calls would be ignored he’s on his own time
Shoulda’ ended it before it started
All she ever got was broken hearted
He was cheating on her tryna’ flip it
Back on her like a victim
Now she’s all alone and starting over
Now she’s got baggage on her shoulder
But the new guy really loves her
She loves him but she doesn’t trust herself anymore
[Hook x2:]
She’s fallin’ in love now
Losin’ control now
Fightin’ the truth
Tryin’ to hide
But I think it’s alright girl
Yeah, I think it’s alright girl
Despite her past she can’t help the attraction
He tells her that he’s nothing like the last one
He redefines in every way what love is
She fell for him and hasn’t gotten’ up since
Every now and then she goes off though
Beating on his chest like a bongo
He understands she’s coming from a hurt place
Answers all the questions on her survey
Doesn’t get jealous, doesn’t break trust
Doesn’t call a hoe after hang ups
Gives her everything she ever wanted
And even though she still feels haunted
[Hook x2:]
She’s fallin’ in love now
Losin’ control now
Fightin’ the truth
Tryin’ to hide
But I think it’s alright girl
Yeah, I think it’s alright girl
[Chorus – Rihanna:]
Work, work, work, work, work, work
He say me have to
Work, work, work, work, work, work!
He see me do me
Dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt!
So me put in
Work, work, work, work, work, work
When you all gon’?
Learn, learn, learn, learn, learn
Me no care if him
Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurting
[Verse 1 – Rihanna:]
Dry!… Me a desert him
No time to have you lurking
Him ah go act like he don’t like it
You know I dealt with you the nicest
Nobody touch me, you the righteous
Nobody text me in a crisis
I believed all of your dreams, adoration
You took my heart and my keys and my patience
You took my heart on my sleeve for decoration
You mistaken my love I brought for you for foundation
All that I wanted from you was to give me
Something that I never had
Something that you’ve never seen
Something that you’ve never been!
Mmmmm!
But I wake up and act like nothing’s wrong
Just get ready fi…
[Chorus – Rihanna:]
Work, work, work, work, work, work
He say me have to
Work, work, work, work, work, work!
He see me do me
Dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt!
So me put in
Work, work, work, work, work, work
Ner ner ner ner ner ner!
When you all gon’ learn, learn, learn, learn, learn!
Before the tables turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn!
[Verse 2 – Rihanna:]
Beg you something please
Baby don’t you leave
Don’t leave me stuck here in the streets, uh huh
If I get another chance to
I will never, no never neglect you
I mean who am I to hold your past against you?
I just hope that it gets to you
I hope that you see this through
I hope that you see this true
What can I say?
Please recognize I’m tryin’, babe!
I have to
[Chorus – Rihanna:]
Work, work, work, work, work, work
He say me have to
Work, work, work, work, work, work!
He see me do me
Dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt!
So me put in
Work, work, work, work, work, work
When you all gon’
Learn, learn, learn, learn, learn
Me no care if him
Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurting
[Verse 3 – Drake:]
Yeah, okay
You need to get done, done, done, done at work, come over
We just need to slow the motion
Don’t give that away to no one
Long distance, I need you
When I see potential I just gotta see it through
If you had a twin, I would still choose you
I don’t wanna rush into it, if it’s too soon
But I know you need to get done, done, done, done
If you come over
Sorry if I’m way less friendly
I got niggas tryna end me, oh
I spilled all my emotions tonight, I’m sorry
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’, rollin’, rollin’
How many more shots until you’re rollin’?
We just need a face to face
You could pick the time and the place
You spent some time away
Now you need to forward and give me all the…
[Chorus – Rihanna & Drake:]
Work, work, work, work, work, work
He say me have to
Work, work, work, work, work, work
He see me do me
Dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt!
So me put in
Work, work, work, work, work, work
When you all gon’
Learn, learn, learn, learn, learn
Me no care if him
Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurting
Run when the rhythms right
Go into the night
Go until you’re out of sight
And you’re out of my mind
Run when the rhythms right
Go into the night
Floating as the river flows
Easy as it goes to the ocean
So walk on by, I’ve got no reason to love you but I do, I do, I do
You’re showing me colors of the sky
But all I see is grey
You lost me when you lied
Promise me but you never try
Secrets in your eyes
You go and run, I’ll hide
You’re showing me colors of the sky
But all I see grey
You lost me when you lied
I don’t ever wanna be crowned just another prize
It breaks my heart
Lost in the midnight blue shadows of the moon
Here with open arms for you, feeling something so new
Said with me you’d reach the sun
Oh but we were so young
Love me ’till the summer’s done
But keep me in your heart so i hold on
So walk on by, I’ve got no reason to love you but I do, I do, I do
You’re showing me colors of the sky
But all I see grey
You lost me when you lied
Promise me but you never try
Secrets in your eyes
You go and run, I’ll hide
You’re showing me colors of the sky
But all I see grey
You lost me when you lied
I don’t ever wanna be crowned just another prize
It breaks my heart
Shook me to the ground now and some how
I feel like you don’t know me
Shook me to the ground now I don’t even know how
Brought me to a life that you never showed me
Coming from a locked up ghost of yourself
But you’re coming from the light
There’s more to you than you ever thought there was
Yeah you’re coming from the light
You used to call me on my
You used to, you used to
Yeah
You used to call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
And I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
Ever since I left the city,
You got a reputation for yourself now
Everybody knows and I feel left out
Girl you got me down, you got me stressed out
‘Cause ever since I left the city,
you started wearing less and goin’ out more
Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor
Hangin’ with some girls I’ve never seen before
You used to call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
Ever since I left the city, you, you, you
You and me we just don’t get along
You make me feel like I did you wrong
Going places where you don’t belong
Ever since I left the city,
you, you got exactly what you asked for
Running out of pages in your passport
Hanging with some girls I’ve never seen before
You used to call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
And I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
These days, all I do is
Wonder if you’re bendin’ over backwards for someone else
Wonder if you’re rollin’ up a backwoods for someone else
Doing things I taught you, gettin’ nasty for someone else
You don’t need no one else
You don’t need nobody else, no
Why you never alone
Why you always touching road
Used to always stay at home, be a good girl
You was in a zone, yeah
You should just be yourself
Right now, you’re someone else
You used to call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
And I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
Pick it up, pick it all up.
And start again.
You’ve got a second chance,
you could go home.
Escape it all.
It’s just irrelevant.
It’s just medicine.
It’s just medicine.
You could still be,
what you want to,
What you said you were,
when I met you.
You’ve got a warm heart,
you’ve got a beautiful brain.
But it’s disintegrating,
from all the medicine.
from all the medicine.
from all the medicine.
Medicine.
You could still be,
what you want to be,
What you said you were,
when you met me.
You could still be,
what you want to.
What you said you were,
when I met you.
when you met me.
when I met you.
