[Chorus: Rihanna]
Now, if it's lovin' that you want
Then you should make me your girl, your girl
If it's lovin' that you need
Baby, come and share my world, share my world, oh
If it's lovin' that you want
Come and take a walk with me, walk with me
'Cause everything that you need, I got it right here baby, baby

[Verse 1: Rihanna]
Now it's obvious you need a friend to come hold you down
Be that one you share your everything when no one's around
Baby, come tell me your secrets, and tell me all your dreams
'Cause I can see you need someone to trust
You can trust in me

[Pre-Chorus: Rihanna]
Di-di-di-di-da-da-dey
So just call me whenever you're lonely
Di-di-di-di-da-da-dey
I'll be your friend, I can be your homie

[Chorus: Rihanna]
If it's lovin' that you want
Then you should make me your girl, your girl
If it's lovin' that you need
Baby, come and share my world, share my world
If it's lovin' that you want
Come and take a walk with me, walk with me
'Cause everything that you need, I got it right here baby, baby

[Verse 2: Corey Gunz]
Hold up, lemme get this straight
Saying you’d be there to do whatever it takes
To make more brand new days of my life
My troubles would be over if I made you my wife
Right, right
I ain't saying I died
Lemme take a second and I think about it
What about it?
I couldn't deal with this chick
So I wouldn’t mind being here to here on the script

[Verse 2: Rihanna]
It's been so long
I've had this feeling that we could be
Everything you've ever wanted, baby
Your fantasy
I won't push too hard or break your heart, 'cause my love's sincere
I'm not like any other girl you know
So let me erase your fears

[Pre-Chorus: Rihanna]
Di-di-di-di-da-da-dey
So just call me whenever you're lonely
Di-di-di-di-da-da-dey
I'll be your friend, I can be your homie

[Chorus: Rihanna]
If it's lovin' that you want
Then you should make me your girl, your girl
If it's lovin' that you need
Baby, come and share my world, share my world
If it's lovin' that you want
Then come and take a walk with me, walk with me
'Cause everything that you need, I got it right here baby, baby

[Verse 4: Corey Gunz]
I could understand why you want me
My mom told me one day I could make a lady lucky
We came home together
You know how chick do try and make a head miss when you hit that thing true miss
Little lady, you was right from the ghetto
I don’t know if I wanna handcuff you yet miss
Missta guns and that
I need a friend ma join me or wanna have sex

[Pre-Chorus: Rihanna]
Di-di-di-di-da-da-dey
So just call me whenever you're lonely
Di-di-di-di-da-da-dey
I'll be your friend, I can be your homie

[Chorus: Rihanna]
If it's lovin' that you want
Then you should make me your girl, your girl
If it's lovin' that you need
Baby, come and share my world, share my world
If it's lovin' that you want
Then come and take a walk with me, walk with me
'Cause everything that you need, I got it right here baby, baby

[Outro: Rihanna]
I wanna let you know that you don't have to go
Don't wonder no more what I think about you
What I think about you, boy
I got what you need so come share my world, oh
No, no

A true pop icon, Robyn “Rihanna” Fenty is a singer, actress, and businesswoman from Saint Michael, Barbados. She was first discovered by American record producer Evan Rogers in 2003 and later signed a contract to Def Jam Recordings in 2004, after auditioning for its then-president, JAY-Z.

The following year, in 2005, she released her debut album Music of the Sun and its follow-up, A Girl Like Me, in 2006. Both albums did well commercially, but it wasn’t until the release of her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, in 2007 that poised Rihanna as an international pop star. It became her first album to receive a Grammy nomination (seven to be exact) and features one of her biggest hits, “Umbrella.”

Moving onto 2009, Rihanna released her fourth studio album, Rated R. It featured a darker and more atmospheric tone from her previous albums. She released her fifth studio album, Loud, the next year in 2010. It marked her return to making dance-pop records. That summer, she featured on Eminem’s smash hit, “Love the Way You Lie” and is one of her most popular features of all time.
