La la la, la la la, la la la la la, oh
You know I never felt like this before
La la la, la la la, la la la la la, oh
This feels like so unreal

I'm obsessive when just one thought of you comes up
I'm aggressive just one thought of closing up
You got me stressing, incessantly pressing the issue
Da very moment gone you know I miss you
I'm the question, and you're of course the answer
Just hold me close, boy, 'cause I'm your tiny dancer
You make me shaken up, never mistaken
But I can't control myself, got me calling out for help

S.O.S., please someone help me
It's not healthy for me to feel this
Y.O.U. are making this hard
I can't take it, see it don't feel right
S.O.S. please someone help me
It's not healthy for me to feel this
Y.O.U. are making this hard
You got me tossin' and turnin', can't sleep at night

[Chorus]
This time, please someone come and rescue me
'Cause you on my mind, got me losing it
I'm lost, you got me lookin' for the rest of me
Just testing me, but still I'm losing it
This time, please someone come and rescue me
'Cause you on my mind, got me losing it
I'm lost, you got me looking for the rest of me
Got the best of me, so now I'm losing it

Just your presence, and I second guess my sanity
Yes, it's a lesson, and it's based on my vanity
My tummy's up in knots, as I see you, I get so hot
Common sense is out the door, can't seem to find a lot
Take a minute, you know inside you feel it right
Take me home, I put desire in your arms tonight
I'm out with you, ya got me head over heels
Boy, you keep me hanging on, the way you make me feel

S.O.S., please someone help me
It's not healthy for me to feel this
Y.O.U. are making this hard
You got me tossin' and turnin', can't sleep at night

[Chorus]

Boy, you know you got me feeling open
And, boy, your love's enough with words unspoken
I said, boy; I'm telling you, you got me open
I don't know what to do, it's true
I'm going crazy over you, I'm begging

S.O.S., please someone help me
It's not healthy for me to feel this
Y.O.U. are making this hard
You got me tossin' and turnin', can't sleep at night

[Chorus]

La la la, la la la, la la, oh
Oh oh, la la la, la la la, la la, oh oh

    My Interpretation:I think the song is about her thinking about a guy constantly, and it's stressing her out to the max. However, at the same time, she's curious and wants to explore things with the guy. I think the guy knows she's interested, and that's probably making her even more stressed. She knows how she's feeling is not healthy and she is begging for someone to "save" her from it. It's taking over her life and making her feel stressed and anxious all the time.

    General Comment:Its a good song, yes the music is from Soft Cells "tainted love".
    Its sounds like it is more a counter song to soft cell. that it is from the girls side
    of the story. Tainted love is of the guys perspective who is being chased.


    Rihanna is the girl doing the chasing.

    General Comment:"HMM I WONDA WHATZ IT MEANS LOLZ!!!! 11oneone I THINKZ ITZ LIKE MEANZ SOMFIN BUT LOVE LOLZ RHIANNA IS HOT!@!!!"
    Hahaha! Nice one. I don't have a clue why I'm even on this board; I don't like Rihanna. Does she write her songs? Hmm...I'll find that out now...Ha! She doesn't even write her own songs! I can't stand it when an artist does that.
    If you sing a song you have to mean it.
    That's why I like Patrick Wolf so much. And before any of you come back at me asking who he is, just listen to at least one of his songs. He's amazing.

    Yeah, alright, I'm a tad obsessed with him!
