SOS

Rihanna · Rihanna's - 3 Cd Collector's Set [2009]

[intro:]

Lalala, lalala, lalalalala, Ohhh (You know I never felt like this before)

Lalala, lalala, lalalalala, Ohhh (This feeling's like so real)



[verse 1:]

I'm obessive when just one thought of you comes up

And I'm aggressive just one thought ain't close enough

You got me stressing, incessantly pressing the issue

'Cause every moment gone you know I miss you

I'm the question and you're of course the answer

Just hold me close boy 'cause I'm your tiny dancer

You make me shaken now, I'm never mistaken

But I can't control myself, got me calling out for help



[chorus:]

S-O-S please someone help me

It's not healthy for me to feel this way

Y-O-U are making this hard (Hard)

I can't take it see it don't feel right

S-O-S please someone help me

It's not healthy for me to feel this way

Y-O-U are making this hard

You got me tossing and turning can't sleep at night



[bridge:]

This time please someone come and rescue me

'Cause you on my mind has got me losing it

I'm lost, you got me lookin for the rest of me

Love is testing me but still I'm losing it

This time please someone come and rescue me

'Cause you on my mind it's got me losing it

I'm lost you got me looking for the rest of me

Got the best of me, so now I'm losing it



[verse 2:]

Just your presence and I second guess my sanity

Yes it's a lesson, it's unfair, you stole my vanity

My tummy's up in knots, and when I see ya it gets so hot

My common sense is out the door, can't seem to find the lock

Take on me (uh huh) you know inside you feel it right

Take me on, I could just die up in your arms tonight

I melt with you, you got me head over heels, (over heels)

Boy you keep me hanging on the way you make me feel



[chorus:]

S-O-S, please someone help me (someone help me)

It's not healthy for me to feel this way

Y-O-U are making this hard (Y-O-U)

You got me tossing and turning can't sleep at night



[bridge:]

This time please someone come and rescue me

'Cause you on my mind has got me losing it

('Cause you on my mind)

I'm lost, you got me lookin for the rest of me

Love is testing me but still I'm losing it

This time please someone come and rescue me

(Someone come and rescue me, yeah)

'Cause you on my mind has got me losing it

I'm lost you got me looking for the rest of me

Got the best of me, so now I'm losing it



[verse 3:]

Boy you know you got me feeling open and

Boy your love's enough with words unspoken

I said boy, I'm telling you, you got me open

I don't know what to do it's true, I'm going crazy over you

I'm begging



[chorus:]

S-O-S, please someone help me (Somebody help me, yeah)

It's not healthy for me to feel this way

Y-O-U are making this hard (Why you making this hard for me baby?)

You got me tossing and turning can't sleep at night (Ohh)



[bridge:]

This time please someone come and rescue me

(Someone rescue me)

'Cause you on my mind has got me losing it

I'm lost, you got me lookin for the rest of me

Love is testing me but still I'm losing it

This time please some one come and rescue me

'Cause you on my mind has got me losing it (All of the time)

I'm lost you got me lookin' for the rest of me

Got the best of me, so now I'm losing it (best of me, and losing it)



[outro:]

Lalala, lalala, lalalalala, Ohhh,

Oh Oh
