My name is Rihanna I'll be your mis-tress to-night I'd like to put you in a trance... [Verse 1] (Spoken-word rhythmic delivery) If I take you... from be-hind Push my-self... in-to your mind When you least ex-pect it... will you try and re-ject it?

Put your hands all o-ver my bod-y [Verse 2] Once you put your hand... in the flame You can nev-ver... be the same There's a cer-tin sat-is-fac-shun... in a lit-tle bit of pain I can see you un-der-stand...
