Album History: " Prior to signing with Def Jam, Rihanna was discovered by record producer Evan Rogers in Barbados, who helped Rihanna record demo tapes to send out to several record labels. Jay-Z, the former chief executive officer (CEO) and president of Def Jam, was given Rihanna's demo by Jay Brown, his A&R at Def Jam, and invited her to audition for the label after hearing what turned out to be her first single, "Pon de Replay". She auditioned for Jay-Z and L.A. Reid, the former CEO and president of record label group The Island Def Jam Music Group, and was signed on the spot to prevent her from signing with another record label. " ~Wiki

[Verse 1: Rihanna]
It's been a minute since I saw you boy
Must admit it's good to hear your voice
And I guess that I forgot just how you make me feel when you're around
See you haven't lost your sense of style
And you still could melt me with your smile
Can't deny that I still got these feelings deep inside
[Pre-Chorus: Rihanna]
It's funny how things could change
But still remain the same
Isn't love just a crazy game
Baby here I go again
[Chorus: Rihanna]
I look into your eyes and then
My heart remembers when
And I realize I neva gotten over you
Everytime I hear your name
It's like the sun shined through the rain
And I realize it's happening
Baby here I go again
Here I go again
[Verse 2: Rihanna]
Still remember how you make me weak
How I fought to find the words to speak
I just can't excape the memories
I tried but I just can't break free
Thought I closed the door on what we had
But these feelings just keep comin back
Didn't think that you could make me lose control like that
[Pre-Chorus: Rihanna]
It's funny how things could change
But still remain the same
Isn't love just a crazy game
Baby here I go again
[Chorus: Rihanna]
I look into your eyes and then
My heart remembers when
And I realize I neva gotten over you
Everytime I hear your name
It's like the sun shined through the rain
And I realize it's happening
Baby here I go again
Here I go again
[Verse 3: J-Status]
Sweet lovin' is my ting
So you know mi got fi swing
That's why yuh request it again
Without a doubt yuh want to spend
And to experience it again
Because yuh love the way yuh felt back then
So make me light it up again
Reignite the flames again
Cause you really miss 'dem days when we used to chill
Up on the hill watch the sun set in West Negril
Girl yuh Bajan beauty it a gimme di chill
Not to mention the way you are within
[Pre-Chorus: Rihanna]
It's funny how things could change
But still remain the same
Isn't love just a crazy game
Baby here I go again

I look into your eyes and then
My heart remembers when
And I realize I neva gotten over you
Everytime I hear your name

You said we girls but all the while
You look at my man with a funny smile
Now I don't look it might be me
But ain't no need to bump so tightly
That night we all hanging at the club
You tell Mr. DJ wanna rub a dub
When I don't look
You take a chance to ask my man to come and dance
[Bridge:]
What me and he have got is solid as a rock, so take your shot
Don't even waste your time
Cause a love like ours is hard to find
(Oh Oh Oh Oh)

Lyrics:
[Verse 1:]
Once was a time you and I
Made a promise till the day we die
I trusted each and every word
Never thinking that I'd get burned
Silly me I believed in your fairy tales
Boy I thought that I knew you so very well
But you walked on my pride all the tears that I cried
And it cuts like a knife
[Hook:]
It's the last time you're ever gonna kiss these lips
Or ever will deceive these eyes
Believe me when I tell you this
Baby boy it's the last time
I'm ever gonna cry these tears
I'm never gonna hear your lies
So listen while I make it clear
In case you didn't hear
This time's the last time
There's no time
To give it one more try
There's only time to say goodbye
[Verse 2:]
Fooled me once shame on you
Fooled me twice now this song is through
The things you said I can never forget
The things you did fill my heart with regret
But I'm still standing tall as I walk away
And you know that it's true when you hear me say
It's over, it's through
Ain't a thing you can do boy, its' sad but it's true
[Hook:]
[Verse 3:]
Good Bye No Baby
Silly me I believed in your fairy tales
Boy I thought that I knew you so very well
But you walked on my pride all the tears that I cried
And it cuts... like a knife
[Hook:]
[Outro:]
Baby goodbye
Never gonna, never gonna cry no more
Goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 1:]
Once was a time you and I
Made a promise till the day we die
I trusted each and every word
Never thinking that I'd get burned
Silly me I believed in your fairy tales
Boy I thought that I knew you so very well
But you walked on my pride all the tears that I cried
And it cuts like a knife
[Hook:]
It's the last time you're ever gonna kiss these lips
Or ever will deceive these eyes
Believe me when I tell you this
Baby boy it's the last time
I'm ever gonna cry these tears
I'm never gonna hear your lies
So listen while I make it clear
In case you didn't hear
This time's the last time
There's no time
To give it one more try
There's only time to say goodbye
[Verse 2:]
Fooled me once shame on you
Fooled me twice now this song is through
The things you said I can never forget
The things you did fill my heart with regret
But I'm still standing tall as I walk away
And you know that it's true when you hear me say
It's over, it's through

Baby slow down, just here me out
There's something I gotta let you know
No need to push, no need to rush
You know you had me from hello

Baby boy can't you see the stop sign
You're movin' much too fast
Baby love doesn't grow in a day
Just get it right the first time
Make this feeling last
[Hook]
Baby if you're willing to wait
We can just take our time (Take our time)
Don't you know that it's getting late

But we don't have to rush something real
Baby if you're willing to wait
We can just take our time (Take our time)

Boy can't you see I'm not tryna be
The girl who gets taken for a ride

[Intro:Kardinal Offishall]
The galdem rush to feel the ill touch
Galdem ball and gal them a scream
They think ita love but a lust
Thats why a bad gal beside is a must for I bust
She's the angel of me conscious yo yo yo
[Verse 1:Rihanna]
Never thought that I could feel something so strong
I wanna hold on to this moment before its gone
I wanna hold your body close its callin' to me
And when i look into your eyes I'm likin' what I see
Boy don't hold back from me
Just give me everything you got
I wonder I can keep

Lyrics:
[Verse 1: Rihanna]
Gotta keep it on the down low
I'll never let my mama know
Only call him on my cell phone, only see him after dark
I met him on the 6 train
The way he said my name
The brother had a lot a game
Had me open from the start
He scoops me up in his ride
Friday about a quarter to 9
So fly and so fine, and I'm so glad that he's all mine
[Hook: Rihanna]
There's a thug in my life
How am I gonna tell my mama?
She's gonna say it ain't right, but he's so good to me
There's a thug in my life
And it's gonna cause crazy drama
I'm gonna see him tonight
I'm gonna give him everything
[Verse 2: Rihanna]
I know his crew is kinda shady
Sometimes it gets kinda crazy
But he treats me like a lady
Gives me everything I need
I don't care who's hating on me
Cause every night he's waiting on me
He's got mad personality, a side they never see
My friends tell me to slow down
But every time that he's around
My heart's on lock down
I feel love and I'm so proud
[Hook:]
[Verse 3: J-Status]
T-H-U-G in ya life baby
One in a million thats what you are to me
And I know your friends say I'm rough
But I still got that tender touch just to make u giggle and blush
But ya mom does not approve of us
She needs to be a lot more understanding
Cause all I have for you is thug loving and loving thats all I'm giving
[Bridge: Rihanna]
Mama, don't worry, I'm not in a hurry
I won't disappoint you
I won't make you sorry
He's the one for me (He's all I ever need)
We'll be together from now till forever
I know its the real thing, if you don't, whatever
And I know its meant to be

Lyrics:
[Verse 1:]
Took a chance
Rolled the dice of me and you
Opened up, let you in my world
Like a dance, started slow and then love took control
Swept away, so proud to be your girl
When you write a story much too fast
Sometimes a happy ending doesn’t last
[Hook:]
Now I know that love ain't meant to be a play thing
Now I know it’s not an ordinary, everyday thing
Now I know that when it's right, it's so amazing
When it’s wrong you gotta let it go
Now I know
Now I know
[Verse 2:]
Remember when we said our love would last forever?
But then again, how are we to know?
There comes a time, that love will change like stormy weather
A sunny day will suddenly turn cold
Time will teach you all you need to learn
But there'll always be a first time you get burned
[Hook:]
Now I know that love ain't meant to be a play thing
Now I know it’s not an ordinary, everyday thing
Now I know that when it's right, it's so amazing
When it’s wrong you gotta let it go
Now I know
Now I know
[Bridge:]
I don't regret a single day
Joy and pain along the way
A broken heart’s the price we pay
As sad as it may seem
Baby can't you see
It’s the way it’s gotta be
[Hook:]
Now I know that love ain't meant to be a play thing
Now I know it’s not an ordinary, everyday thing
Now I know that when it's right, it's so amazing
When it’s wrong you gotta let it go
Now I know
Now I know
[Verse 1:]
