Rehab
Rihanna · 3 CD Collector's Set [2010]
When we first met, I never felt something so strong
You were like my lover and my best friend
All wrapped into one with a ribbon on it
And all of a sudden you went and left
I didn't know how to follow
It's like a shock that spun me around
And now my heart's dead
I feel so empty and hollow
And I'll never give myself to another the way I gave it to ya (to ya)
Don't even recognize the ways you hurt me, do ya (do ya)?
It's gonna take a miracle to bring me back (Back, back, back)
And you are the one to blame
And now I feel like Oh
You're the reason why I'm thinking
I don't wanna smoke on these cigarettes no more
I guess that's what i get for wishful thinking
Should've never let you enter my door
Next time you wanna go on and leave
I should just let you go on and do it (Do it, do it, do it)
'Cause now I'm using like I bleed
It's like I checked in to rehab
And baby, you're my disease
It's like I checked in to rehab
And baby, you're my disease
I've gotta check in to rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease
I've gotta check in to rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease
Damn, ain't it crazy when you're love swept
You'd do anything for the one you love
Cause anytime that you needed me, I'd be there
Its like you were my favorite drug
The only problem was that you was using me
In a different way than I was using you
But now that I know that it's not meant to be
You gotta go, I gotta wean myself off of you
And I'll never give myself to another the way I gave it to ya (to ya)
Don't even recognize the ways you hurt me, do ya? (oh)
It's gonna take a miracle to bring me back (Back, back, back, back)
And you are the one to blame
Cause now I feel like Oh (oh)
You're the reason why I'm thinking
I don't wanna smoke on these cigarettes no more
I guess that's what i get for wishful thinking
Should've never let you enter my door (Enter my door)
Next time you wanna go on and leave
I should just let you go on and do it (Do it, do it, do it)
'Cause now I'm using like I bleed (Using like I bleed)
It's like I checked in to rehab (Oh)
And baby, you're my disease (You're my disease)
It's like I checked in to rehab
And baby, you're my disease
I've gotta check in to rehab (Oh)
'Cause baby you're my disease (You're my disease)
I've gotta check in to rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease
Oh - Oh
Now ladies gimme that..
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh-Oh
Oh Oh Ouh Oh
Now gimme that
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh-Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Now ladies gimme that..
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh-Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Now gimme that
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh-Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh
You're the reason why I'm thinking
I don't wanna smoke on these cigarettes no more
I guess that's what i get for wishful thinking
Should've never let you enter my door
Next time you wanna go on and leave
I should just let you go on and do it (Do it, do it, do it)
'Cause now I'm using like I bleed
It's like I checked in to rehab (Oh)
And baby, you're my disease
It's like I checked in to rehab
And baby, you're my disease
I've gotta check in to rehab (Oh)
'Cause baby you're my disease
I've gotta check in to rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease
