His 'show' was him trying to reassure her that he was faithful, but actually wasn't. In the bridge, Rihanna plays the role as a prize-giver, and awards 'Best Liar' to the man, sarcastically for being deceitful, and two-faced. The second verse sees Rihanna telling the man to pack his bags and get out, but he is still at his worst, begging for forgiveness, but she isn't putting up with his nonsense and pathetic sob-stories, and ends the verse by sarcastically saying 'What else is on?' to explain how she will find a new lover. But she isn't playing games with this man anymore, so asks him to leave. She enjoyed seeing this man beg to be forgiven for cheating on her, just to be entertained. She furthermore uses metaphors to explain how she ends the relationship, by comparing the breakup to curtains closing at a theatre. In the chorus, Rihanna describes how she became susceptible to this man's deceit, so uses a sarcastically metaphoric writing style to show this. She thinks he is remorseless because he wouldn't have said sorry if she hadn't known what he had done.


The pre-chorus sees Rihanna telling the man that he is remorseless, because really, he doesn't care, even though he is apologetic because she caught him in the act, cheating on her. The first verse explains the man's stupidity and dumbness as he desperately tries to take back what he did, which Rihanna in turn cannot forgive him for as she feels betrayed enough to send him out for good. Thats the part i honestly thought was a stripper at first but yea i can see how it makes more sense for it to be a famous person (not just a singer).The very beginning of the song sees Rihanna sarcastically say well done for betraying her, which she explains in depth in the first verse. Or who wants to be my friend for who I really am." I don't know who to trust I don't know who wants to date me for who I am Sometimes I feel like I have it worse because I have to always keep my guard up When you're in the spotlight everything seems good And of course this section is for sure talking about how the media only shows famous peoples bad side and want to make them look bad for our entertianment.Įntertaining is something I do for a living I think this part is trying to say were all human, we all make mistakes, just cause we do doesnt make us not "normal".

Show them that under here I'm just like you That sounds alot like to me how the media is telling girls to look a certian way and thus we look at ourself and instead of telling ourself we are beautiful, we are tearing ourself down. When it was over did I wind up hurt? (Yes)" But after i saw some of your comments i can also see and like to think its about society telling you how to live, how to look, and what to do with your life and rihanna is saying who are we living for? ourselfs or what other people and the media tell us to live. General CommentI'll be honest, at first as i was listening and reading the music, i thought that one part where she's doing that reading type thing that it was a stripper. Or who wants to be my friend for who I really am I don't know who wants to date me for who I am Sometimes I feel like I have it worse 'cause It's not who I am, I'd like to think that I'm pretty normal It's entertainment is that an excuse? (No)īut the question that lingers whether "win or lose" is Sometimes it feels like they want me to lose I may make me a fool or a human with flaws When it was over, did I wind up hurt? (Yes)īut it taught me before a decision ask this question first Did more than called upon, more than deserved
