Rihanna - Russian Roulette + Lyrics


usershare: Rihanna - Russian Roulette
mediafire: Rihanna - Russian Roulette

Rihanna's first single off her fourth studio album, "Rated R" is an emotional midtempo track. It's totally not what I expected from Rihanna. I've just listened to the track nine times in a row and I think she really nailed it. I've always loved the way Rihanna interprets her songs and you can feel what she's singing on "Russian Roulette." Thumbs up RiRi, can't wait to see the video.

Here are the lyrics:

Take a breath, take it deep
Calm yourself, he says to me
If you play, you play for keeps
Take the gun, and count to three
I’m sweating now, moving slow
No time to think, my turn to go

[Chorus]
And you no see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
Said I’m terrified but I’m not leaving
Know that I must must pass this test
So just pull the trigger

Say a prayer to yourself
He says close your eyes
Sometimes it helps
And then I get a scary thought
That he’s here means he’s never lost

[Chorus]
And you no see my heart beating
Oh you can see it through my chest
Said I’m terrified but I’m not leaving
Know that I must must pass this test
So just pull the trigger

As my life flashes before my eyes
I’m wondering will I ever see another sunrise
So many won’t get the chance to say goodbye
But it’s too late too pick up the value of my life

[Chorus]
And you no see my heart beating
No-Oh you can see it through my chest
Said I’m terrified but I’m not leaving no
Know that I must must pass this test
So just pull the trigger

And you no see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
Now I’m terrified but I’m not leaving no no
Know that I must must pass this test
So just pull the trigger

No. This is lame. I think we are ready for the next ashanti/ciara/rihanna.... once peaked, nothing exciting left to offer.

Really? I'm amazed you guys aren't feeling this. Rihanna has come so far from her debut and I love how she is exploring uncharted territory. It's something fresh, new and completely unexpected. Her vocals have never been better in her career and it's such a dark and sexy record. I love her contradicting style - a ballad with darkness. The imagery to this song is amazing! I guess it will just take the world a while before it sinks in...
