So you already know what's next

With my body screaming now

So why you standing over there with ya clothes on
Baby strip down for me

The song "Skin" by Rihanna sparks a new level of intimate desire through its lyrics. The song begins with an almost sexual tension that creates an anticipation of what's coming next. The first verse emphasizes the desire to set the mood and asks for the television volume to be lowered so as not to interfere with the body's screams. In the chorus, the lyrics suggest that both parties have been waiting long for this moment, and there is no need for teasing because they both know what they want. After which the beat drops, and the song becomes sensual, with Rihanna inviting her partner to strip down to raw skin for an instant of mutual pleasure.
The second verse sees the two transitioning from words to actions, drawing closer together and feeling each other's breaths. It seems as if they are already lost in the experience, and there is a mutual agreement to not hold back. The bridge of the song reiterates the desire to see the lover in just their skin and acknowledges their rawness, saying, "You a beast, I know that I like that." The song's final chorus repeats the desire to see the lover in just their skin, and the song fades out with the repetition of "All I wanna see you in is just skin" in the background.
