Lyrics & Translation

[English]
What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do?
Come over here whenever you wanna come
’Cause I wanna see you, wanna see you, wanna see you
That smile you put on just for me
Oh, my Rihanna
You’ve been lost for a while
And I’ve searched for her so much
I search and search but can’t find her
If you want, I’ll trust you, but not so you can bail
I just wanna play ball like a triple debate
You’re a mess, but with me, you’re my gift
But if you rat me out, I’ll tell them to kill me
I’d run away with you again
We’ll do the things we never did
I won’t deny you stole my heart
(You stole my heart)
What are we gonna do, gonna do, gonna do?
Come over here whenever you wanna come
’Cause I wanna see you, wanna see you, wanna see you
That smile you put on just for me
Oh, my Rihanna
You’ve been lost for a while
And I’ve searched for her
I search and search but can’t find her
If your husband doesn’t love you, he loves you
And you can’t take that anymore
He always comes home late
You’d die for me, you’d die for me
My baby’s sweeter than bread with chocolate
With you by my side, my heart beats
If you’re far from me, there’ll be debate
Why, why the nonsense?
It slips from my lips when I see you
You’ll be more than a fling to me
What are we gonna do? What-what are we gonna do?
Come here, let me taste those lips
Oh, my Rihanna
You’ve been lost for a while
