If I Never See Your Face Again
Rihanna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now as the summer fades, I let you slip away
You say I'm not your type, but I can make you sway
It makes you burn to learn, you're not the only one
I'd let you be if you put down your blazing gun

Now you've gone somewhere else, far away
I don't know if I will find you (find you, find you)
But you feel my breath, on your neck
Can't believe I'm right behind you (right behind you)

'Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before
And if I never see your face again, I don't mind
'Cause we gone much further than I thought we'd get tonight

Sometimes you move so well
It's hard not to give in

I'm lost, I can't tell
Where you end and I begin

It makes you burn to learn
I'm with another man

I wonder if he's half
The lover that I am

Now you've gone somewhere else, far away
I don't know if I will find you (find you, find you)
But you feel my breath, On your neck
Can't believe I'm right behind you (right behind you)

'Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before
And if I never see your face again, I don't mind
'Cause we gone much further than I thought we'd get tonight

Baby, baby, please believe me
Find it in your heart to reach me
Promise not to leave me behind
(Promise not to leave me behind)

Take me down, but take it easy
Make me think but don't deceive me
Torture me by taking your time
(Talk to me, talk to me)

'Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before

And if I never see your face again, I don't mind
'Cause we gone much further than I thought we'd get tonight

'Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before




And if I never see your face again, I don't mind
'Cause we gone much further than I thought we'd get tonight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rihanna's 'If I Never See Your Face Again' describe a relationship between two individuals who have different opinions and preferences but are drawn to each other despite this. The first verse indicates that the relationship may have ended as the summer has faded, and the singer has let go of the other person. The second line suggests that the other person may have said that the singer was not their type but that the singer could make them sway despite this. The lyrics suggest that the other person may be surprised to learn that the singer is not the only one drawn to them and that they would let the other person be if they put down their blazing gun. This line could be interpreted to refer to the other person's emotional defenses, which they need to let down to connect fully with the singer.


In the second verse, the singer indicates that the other person has gone somewhere far away and may not be found again. However, she feels the other person's breath on her neck, and she follows them. The chorus indicates that the singer cannot help but keep coming back for more of the other person, and it makes her feel better than before, even if she never sees their face again. She acknowledges that they have gone further than she thought they would in one night.


The bridge suggests that the other person is resisting the singer's advances, and the singer asks the other person to believe in her and not leave her behind. She tempts them to take her down but to take it easy and not deceive her. The singer seems to be willing to be patient and endure pain and suffering, as long as the other person takes their time and talks to her instead of deceiving her. The final chorus repeats the earlier ones, indicating that the relationship has progressed, although there is some tension and resistance present.


Line by Line Meaning

Now as the summer fades, I let you slip away
As the summer season ends, I slowly let you go out of my life


You say I'm not your type, but I can make you sway
Although you think I’m not your ideal type, I can make you change your mind


It makes you burn to learn, you're not the only one
It hurts you to know that you’re not the only person I’m interested in


I'd let you be if you put down your blazing gun
I would back off if you stop being so defensive and protective towards me


Now you've gone somewhere else, far away
You have moved to another place, far from me


I don't know if I will find you (find you, find you)
I am uncertain if I will be able to locate you


But you feel my breath, on your neck
You sense my presence behind you


Can't believe I'm right behind you (right behind you)
I cannot believe I am so close to you, without you even noticing


'Cause you keep me coming back for more
I am drawn to you and can't help but come back for more


And I feel a little better than I did before
Being around you makes me feel a bit happier and more content


Sometimes you move so well
At times you dance so flawlessly


It's hard not to give in
It's difficult to resist the temptation to join you


I'm lost, I can't tell
I am confused and unsure


Where you end and I begin
Where you and I differentiate


I wonder if he's half
I ponder if he's even half


The lover that I am
The passionate and loving person that I am


Baby, baby, please believe me
My dear, please trust me


Find it in your heart to reach me
Discover within yourself the ability to communicate with me


Promise not to leave me behind
Vow to never abandon me


Take me down, but take it easy
Take me on a journey, but do it gently


Make me think but don't deceive me
Challenge my mind, but do not manipulate me


Torture me by taking your time (Talk to me, talk to me)
Make me yearn for your affection by taking things slow and communicate with me


'Cause we gone much further than I thought we'd get tonight
We have progressed much further tonight than I had anticipated

Now as the summer fades
I let you slip away
You say I'm not your type
But I can make you sway

It makes you burn to learn
You're not the only one
I'd let you be if you
Put down your blazing gun

Now you've gone somewhere else far away
I don't know if I will find you (find you, find you)
But you feel my breath on your neck
Can't believe I'm right behind you (right behind you)

'Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before
If I never see your face again, I don't mind
'Cause we got much further than I thought we'd get tonight

Sometimes you move so well
It's hard not to give in
I'm lost, I can't tell where you end and I begin

It makes you burn to learn
I'm with another man
I wonder if he's half the lover that I am

Now you've gone...somewhere else...far away
I don't know if I will find you (find you, find you)
But you feel my breath on your neck
Can't believe I'm right behind you (right behind you)

'Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before
If I never see your face again, I don't mind
'Cause we got much further than I thought we'd get tonight

Baby, baby
Please believe me
Find it in your heart to reach me
Promise not to leave me behind
(Promise not to leave me behind)

Take me down, but take it easy
Make me think but don't deceive me
Torture me by taking your time
(Torture me, torture me)

'Cause you keep me coming back for more
And I feel a little better than I did before
If I never see your face again, I don't mind
'Cause we got much further than I thought we'd get tonight
(Torture me, torture me)

Keep me coming back for more (Coming)
And I feel a little better (Back for more) than I did before
If I never see your face again, I don't mind
'Cause we got much further than I thought we'd get tonight
