Rude Boy Lyrics

Cover art for Rude Boy lyrics by Rihanna

Sometimes songs about love are sweet and sentimental. This 'aint one of those songs. This is a song about a woman who challenges her lover to take her hard, to take her roughly, almost as much out of anger as passion. It is a song about a woman's sexual freedom.

The listener has to wonder if this song is less meant for the guy she is with now, but perhaps to make a past controlling or domineering lover jealous.
