SOS
• Rihanna Lyrics

La la la, la la la, la la la la la, oh
Repeating sounds with no particular meaning, expressing excitement and anticipation.

You know I've never felt like this before
Expressing a unique feeling of love that has never been experienced before.

This feels like so unreal
This feeling of love is so strong it's hard to believe it's real.

I'm obsessive when just one thought of you comes up
Thoughts of this person consume all of their attention and become an obsession.

And I'm aggressive just one thought of closing up
The thought of not being with this person is painful and brings about an aggressive reaction.

You got me stressing, incessantly pressing the issue
This person is causing stress and anxiety by not being present or available.

'Cause every moment gone you know I miss you
Missing this person causes sadness and a longing for their company.

I'm the question, and you're of course the answer
The focus on this person is so strong that they feel like the missing piece of their life.

Just hold me close, boy, 'cause I'm your tiny dancer
Asking for physical affection and reassurance through a term of endearment and a reference to a small, vulnerable thing.

You make me shaken up, never mistaken
This person has an intense effect on emotions, with no doubt or second guessing of their love.

But I can't control myself, got me calling out for help
The overwhelming emotions this person causes leads to a feeling of being out of control and needing assistance.

S.O.S., please someone help me
Expressing a desperate situation that needs immediate attention.

It's not healthy for me to feel this
Acknowledging the negative impact this love has on their well-being.

Y.O.U. are making this hard
Blaming the difficulty of the situation on the actions or absence of the other person.

I can't take it, see it don't feel right
Feeling overwhelmed and unsure about the relationship, like something is not quite right.

You got me tossin' and turnin', can't sleep at night
The turmoil of emotions caused by this relationship is physically affecting their sleep and well-being.

This time, please someone come and rescue me
Asking for help and a way out of this situation.

'Cause you on my mind, it's got me losing it
Thinking about this person too much is causing an unbalanced mental state.

I'm lost, you got me lookin' for the rest of me
This person has such a strong influence that the singer is struggling to define their own identity without them.

Love is testing me, but still I'm losing it
The challenges of love are proving to be too much and negatively affecting their mental state.

Boy, you know you got me feeling open
This person has opened the singer's heart and emotions in a way they never expected.

And, boy, your love's enough with words unspoken
The love this person provides is so strong that words are not needed to express it.

I said, boy; I'm telling you, you got me open
Repeating that this person has opened the singer up in a big way.

I don't know what to do, it's true
Admitting to feeling lost and unsure about how to handle these intense emotions.

I'm going crazy over you, I'm begging
The intensity of this love is causing the singer to feel like they are losing control and begging for assistance.

La la la, la la la, la la, oh
Repeating sounds with no particular meaning, expressing excitement and anticipation.
