[Intro]
You should tell me what's bugging you
And I'ma tell ya 'bout me
Make a wish and tell me your deepest thoughts
And I'ma make it easy
Make a wish tell me what's bugging you
And I'ma tell ya 'bout me
Make a wish and tell me your deepest thoughts
And I'ma make it easy

[Verse 1]
Emotions running wild
I could feel it when I'm next to you
Something's on ya mind
You wanna stay, but won't tell me
It's about ya secrecy
So what are you tryna hide?
I know what the look means
You hold my hand so tightly
Whenever we say goodbye
Standing by the door
I could tell you can't take no more
Blow your secret open wide

[Chorus]
So maybe if you say it (say it)
Tell me what it is you like (like)
Baby, baby, don't be shy (shy)
Maybe you can spend the night (night)
If you say it
But if you playing (not with it)
'Cause you know what I wanna hear (hear)
Say it, that'll make it more clear (clear)
I need to know how you feel
So baby, why won't you (say it)
Say it (say it)

[Post-Chorus]
Won't, won't you tell me
What, what's goin' on?
Why, why you waitin' on it
What you waiting for?
Soon you should tell me or I might be gone
But I'm here for you, baby
You should put me on

[Verse 2]
I won't shoot you down
Make you feel some kinda way
If you'll be honest with me
Put away your pride
I can see it in your face
You want me permanently (uh)
Like how I whine when we dancing
I know how it happened
And I'm right there with you
But I won't be the first to put myself out there
The feeling is mutual
But I bet if you (say it)

[Chorus]
So maybe if you say it
Tell me what it is you like (like)
Baby, baby, don't be shy (shy)
Maybe you can spend the night (night)
If you say it
But if you playing (not with it)
'Cause you know what I wanna hear (hear)
Say it, that'll make it more clear (clear)
I need to know how you feel
So baby, why won't you (say it)
Say it (say it)

[Bridge]
Your eyes steady talking
And you're tryna fight it
But some things, baby, are not worth hiding
And we can find heaven
If we go look together
So won't, won't you tell me
And get it off your chest
Your eyes steady talking
And you're tryna fight it
But some things, baby, are not worth hiding
And we can find heaven
If we go look together
So won't, won't you tell me
And get it off your chest
So maybe if you say it (say it)

[Chorus]
So maybe if you say it (say it)
Tell me what it is you like (like)
Baby, baby, don't be shy (shy)
Maybe you can spend the night (night)
If you say it
But if you playing (not with it)
'Cause you know what I wanna hear (hear)
Say it, that'll make it more clear (clear)
I need to know how you feel
So baby why won't you (say it)
Say it (say it)

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.
