Stupid in Love
Rihanna Lyrics

Hmm stupid in love
Feeling foolish and illogical because of love

Oh, stupid in love, hmm
Repeating the statement 'stupid in love' to emphasize the feeling of foolishness and irrationality caused by love

Let me tell you something
Starting to share a message with the listener

Never, have I ever Been a size ten in my whole life
Confessing that the artist has never been a size ten, indicating that insecurities exist in the relationship

I left the engine running I just came to see What you would do if I Gave you a chance to make things right
The artist left the car running to see their partner's reaction to the artist giving them a chance to fix things in the relationship

So I made it, even though Katy Told me that this would be nothing but a waste of time And she was right, hmm
The singer went ahead with giving their partner a chance, despite a friend's warning that it was a waste of time, and now realizes the friend was right

Don't understand it blood on your hands And still you insist on repeatedly trying To tell me lies And I just don't know why, oh
The singer doesn't understand why their partner keeps lying to them, even though their dishonesty has harmful consequences

This is stupid, I'm not stupid Don't talk to me like I'm stupid I still love you, but I just can't do this I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid
Acknowledging the foolishness of the relationship but standing up for oneself, saying that they won't be talked down to and that they still love their partner even while realizing the relationship is wrong

My new nickname is "You Idiot" (such an idiot) Hmm that's what my friends are calling me when They see me yelling into my phone They're telling me let go He is not the one
Friends are chastising the artist for continuing to pursue the toxic relationship and calling them an 'idiot'

I thought I saw your potential Guess that's what made me dumb He don't want it, not like you want it Scheming and cheating oh girl Why do you waste your time? You know he ain't right
The artist reflects on the past, realizing they were foolish to think their partner had potential. They also recognize their partner's disinterest in the relationship and urge the artist to stop wasting their time with someone who cheats and isn't right for them

You telling me this, I don't wanna listen But you insist on repeatedly trying To tell me lies And I just don't know why
The singer is reluctant to listen to advice but is frustrated with their partner's lies and deceit

Trying to make this work But you act like a jerk Silly of me to keep holding on (oh) But the dunce cap is off You don't know what you've lost
Despite attempting to improve the relationship, the artist realizes their partner is still acting poorly and it is foolish to hold on. They then assert that their partner will regret losing them.

And you won't realize Till I'm gone, gone, gone That I was the one Which one of us is really dumb
The singer acknowledges their partner won't appreciate their worth until they are gone and then asks which of them is truly foolish.

No
Denying the association with the 'stupid in love' categorization from the beginning of the song. The singer asserts they know better now.

No
Continuation of previous statement

No, I'm not stupid in love
Reasserting that the artist is not foolish and irrational because of love.

I may be dumb but I'm not stupid in love
Again, emphasizing the difference between being foolish out of love and just being naive.
