I want you to love me,
Like I'm a hot ride (uh yeah)
Keep thinkin' of me (uh)

Want you to make me feel
Like I'm the only girl in the world
Like I'm the only one that you'll ever love
Like I'm the only one who knows your heart
Only girl in the world
Like I'm the only one that's in command
'Cause I'm the only one who understands
How to make you feel like a man
Yeah

Like I'm the only girl in the world
Like I'm the only one that you'll ever love
Like I'm the only one who knows your heart
Only one

Hold me like a pillow

And when you enter, you ain't leavin'
Be my prisoner for the night, oh

In “Only Girl (In The World),” Rihanna wants her lover to treat her like she is the only woman in his life. She desires to be adored and appreciated, to be the center of his attention. She wants him to forget about the world outside and focus entirely on her. Rihanna wants him to make her feel special, like she is the only one who knows his deepest desires and secrets, the only one who understands him.
The song’s lyrics are sexual at their core, as evidenced when Rihanna urges her lover to make her feel like the only girl in the world. But, the song also speaks to a deeper emotional need that many people feel - the need to be loved and cherished as if we are the only ones in the world. Rihanna has a powerful voice, and the way she belted out the chorus forces the listener to feel the passion and intensity of her desire.
