Rihanna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't help falling in love
I fiend for love
I want it, I crave it
I just can't get enough
Take me away
I wear my heart on my sleeve
I may be a little naive, yeah
You know I'm drunk on love
Drunk on love
Nothing can sober me up
It's all that I need, yeah
I've been let down
But never been tainted
So I stay thirsty for more
No I won't hold back
No drop is wasted
I let love run its course
Take me away
I wear my heart on my sleeve
Always let love take the lead
I may be a little naive, yeah
You know I'm drunk on love
Drunk on love
Nothing can sober me up
You know I'm drunk on love
Drunk, drunk on love
Nothing can sober me up
It's all that I need
I'm so intoxicated
I love the way you taste on my lips
When we kiss
You got me so addicted
So much I can't resist
Falling into your arms
Take me away
I wear my heart on my sleeve
Always let love take the lead
I may be a little naive, yeah
You know I'm drunk on love
Drunk on love
Nothing can sober me up
You know I'm drunk on love
Drunk, drunk on love
Nothing can sober me up
It's all that I need
It's all that I need
It's all that I need
