  • All along it was a fever
    A cold sweat, hot headed believer
    I threw my hands in the air, and said, "Show me something"
    He said, "If you dare, come a little closer"

    'Round and around and around and around we go
    Oh, now tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know

    Not really sure how to feel about it
    Something in the way you move
    Makes me feel like I can't live without you
    It takes me all the way
    I want you to stay

    It's not much of a life you're living
    It's not just something you take, it's given

    Round and around and around and around we go
    Oh, now tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know

    Not really sure how to feel about it
    Something in the way you move
    Makes me feel like I can't live without you
    It takes me all the way
    And I want you to stay

    Ooh, the reason I hold on
    Ooh, 'cause I need this hole gone
    Well, funny you're the broken one
    But I'm the only one who needed saving
    'Cause when you never see the light
    It's hard to know which one of us is caving

    Not really sure how to feel about it
    Something in the way you move
    Makes me feel like I can't live without you
    It takes me all the way
    I want you to stay
    Stay
    I want you to stay

  • Camille from Toronto, OhI'm not a Rihanna fan. I don't really care for her look, her fashions, her music. I get tired of hearing her songs everywhere from commercials to movie soundtracks. And is there any singer she hasn't collaborated with? To me, most of her vocals sound like she's straining to get something out of her intestines, if you get my drift.

    Aaahhhh...but I love this particular song. A few months ago, I saw her perform it on some awards show, and instantly liked it. Has Rihanna matured out of that annoying whine, 'eliminating' that strained sound? It would seem so. Her voice has the perfect emotion, and Mikky Ekko is the perfect singing partner for her on this song. When it comes on the radio, I always turn it up and sing along.
