Rihanna
On and On Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can I tell you that I'm wanting you?
I'm in love with the way you move
And I think you should have a drink or two
Truth is I wanna lie with you, so come my way
Feel like you need somebody
So baby girl come my way
Feel like you need somebody
Dip low, watching her dip low
Dances on me and now she sip slow
Watching you head down to your tip toe
You know I got something for when we get home
Get home, now you're in my zone, in my zone
And we gon' get going
Wood in your frame it's like window
Turn off your garments we can bring those

I said gimme your love, you know you're bad like Rihanna
I'll do you good no wahala
But I can't promise forever, oh nah nah nah
I said gimme your love, you know your bad like Rihanna
I'll do you good no wahala
But I can't promise forever, oh nah

Can I tell you that I'm wanting you?
I'm in love with the way you move
And I think you should have a drink or two
Truth is I wanna lie with you, so come my way
Feel like you need somebody
So baby girl come my way
Feel like you need somebody

You're like mhm now, mhm
So tell me what you want from me
Girl mhm now, mhm
'Cause I can give you what you need girl
Mhm now, mhm
So tell me what you want from me girl
Mhm now, mhm
'Cause I can give you what you need girl, I

You're looking my way now
Big spliff when we lay down
I want for now and some later
Give me a reason why you can't stay round
Please me, you make it look easy
These niggas all neeky
You know that you need me, need me

I said gimme your love, you know you're bad like Rihanna
I'll do you good no wahala
But I can't promise forever, oh nah nah nah
I said gimme your love, you know your bad like Rihanna
I'll do you good no wahala
But I can't promise forever
Oh nah nah nah

Can I tell you that I'm wanting you
I'm in love with the way you move
And I think you should have a drink or two
Truth is I wanna lie with you, so come my way
Feel like you need somebody
So baby girl come my way
Feel like you need somebody

You're like mhm now, mhm
So tell me what you want from me
Girl mhm now, mhm
'Cause I can give you what you need girl
Mhm now, mhm
So tell me what you want from me girl




Mhm now, mhm
'Cause I can give you what you need girl, I

He then describes watching her dance and admiring her as she dips low, and how he has something to offer her once they get home. The chorus repeats the lines "I said gimme your love, you know you're bad like Rihanna" and "I'll do you good no wahala, but I can't promise forever, oh nah nah nah."

All along it was a fever
A cold sweat, hot headed believer
I threw my hands in the air, and said, "Show me something"
He said, "If you dare, come a little closer"
'Round and around and around and around we go
Oh, now tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay
It's not much of a life you're living
It's not just something you take, it's given
Round and around and around and around we go
Oh, now tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
And I want you to stay
Ooh, the reason I hold on
Ooh, 'cause I need this hole gone
Well, funny you're the broken one
But I'm the only one who needed saving
'Cause when you never see the light
It's hard to know which one of us is caving
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay
Stay
I want you to stay
Ooh

It's weird how most of us living on Earth will never meet or even acknowledge each other's existence. For example, if you're reading my comment; this is probably the first and last time you'll ever see me.
