Emergency Room

Such a good song! But it's actually with Ray-L and these are the correct lyrics :)

(Ray L) Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah Ey

(Rihanna) I was pickin' up your clothes in the closet (closet) I was 'bout to throw your jeans in the washer (washer) Til I saw a piece of paper sayin' "Toshia" (Toshia) I gotta say I found this a bit shockin' And some reciepts here that say you went shoppin' You bought some Nike shoes But why you buyin stockings?

(Pre-chorus) Boy how could you lie to me? I thought you would die for me I'm not accepting another apology. (Chorus) After three years, I'ma let it go Can't stand around cryin' no more Got your bags packed sittin' by the door I'ma leave you heart broken on the floor You gonna be in the Emergency Room I’m standing by your bed And so tempted to pull out your IV You gonna be in the Emergency Room I'm fightin' with myself I can't hurt you even though you hurt me You gonna be in the Emergency Room Tryin' to call a nurse but nobody can help you now Let me see you try to live without me Now where's your heartbeat? Flat line on the E-K-G

Well I was home late at night watchin' TV Got a call from my girl sayin' "RiRi Saw your man in the club I thought he was out of town doin' business Said that he'd be back in three weeks" Now I'm mad (mad) Sittin' in the kitchen gettin sad (sad) Lookin' at your pictures

(Pre-Chorus) Boy how could you lie to me? I thought you would die for me I'm not accepting another apology. (Chorus) After three years, I'ma let it go Can't stand around cryin' no more Got your bags packed sittin' by the door I'ma leave you heart broken on the floor You gonna be in the Emergency Room I’m standing by your bed And so tempted to pull out your IV You gonna be in the Emergency Room I'm fightin' with myself I can't hurt you even though you hurt me You gonna be in the Emergency Room Tryin' to call a nurse but nobody can help you now Let me see you try to live without me Now where's your heartbeat? Flat line on the E-K-G

(Ray L) I did you wrong girl (I did) Had a bunch of numbers in my phone girl (I did) But we been in this relationship too long girl For you to be listening to your silly home girls Better go on girl Now baby think about it (think about it) Everything we gonna do they gonna read about it (read about it) Put it on the radio and TV outlet Do you wanna see your picture in that paper? (no) You know them haters... (whoa) You hear that 808 The drum... that's my heartbeat I'm going numb I said Rihanna, I'm feelin stressed I'm goin under cardiac arrest

(Rihanna) You gonna be in the Emergency Room I’m standing by your bed And so tempted to pull out your IV You gonna be in the Emergency Room I'm fightin' with myself I can't hurt you even though you hurt me You gonna be in the Emergency Room Tryin to call a nurse but nobody can help you now Let me see you try to live without me Now where's your heartbeat? Flat line on the E-K-G

i'm actually listening to the song for the first time now lmao is this like, serious? it's a sexy song but:

Boy how could you lie to me? I thought you would die for me I'm not accepting another apology. (Chorus) After three years, I'ma let it go Can't stand around cryin' no more Got your bags packed sittin' by the door I'ma leave you heart broken on the floor You gonna be in the Emergency Room I’m standing by your bed And so tempted to pull out your IV You gonna be in the Emergency Room

that got me. this is the other shit of 09 haha.

i really like this song but the fact that she released it so soon after the shroud surrounding the chris brown-Rihanna drama has to have some significance doesnt it?

Anyway this song is pretty straight forward really, The first few lines

"I was pickin' up your clothes in the closet (closet) I was 'bout to throw your jeans in the washer (washer) Til I saw a piece of paper sayin' "Toshia" (Toshia) I gotta say I found this a bit shockin' And some reciepts here that say you went shoppin' You bought some Nike shoes But why you buyin stockings?"

Just stating the situation, in the ever increasingly popular style of lyric writing which is to write the song directly towards the person. Girl was cleaning up and found a number - typical conflict

"Boy how could you lie to me? I thought you would die for me I'm not accepting another apology." This bit shows a bit about the singer, it shows shes hurt and is re-assesing the problem but also that its not the first time, the last line says its happened all too often.

aside from the first verse the chorus is my favorite bit, the beginning shows resolution, that the singer is sure of what shes going to do (end it and move on) but then it gets mixed up,

"I'm fightin' with myself I can't hurt you even though you hurt me"

Which is showing us indecision, though she seemed so resolute to begin with its crumbling and shes sort of re-assesing. but the last line seems to be her pummping herslef up again, fighting with the doubt and appearing more resolute than she really is.

Then theres the second verse which is like her backing herself up, giving her and the audience (not to mention the man) a second scenario that has lead her to this decision.

then of course there is the guys point of veiw (which you dont always have in the songs) and the man is saying yes i had numbers in my phone --im sorry - but were to strong for you to listen to your girlfriends over me, and then hes pointing out that it all ends up on the newspapers and tv so wouldnt she have heard about something before this? and yeaa...

i got a bit lazy...and distracted. but i love this song

this is a really good song! Rihanna and Akon really killed it!

karma is a *****

haha this song relates to what's going on with rihanna and chris brown. except she was the one who went to the emergency room. lol
