Rihanna – Only Girl (In the World)

  General Comment:I'm laughing right now, reading all these arguments. This is a lame song from a mediocre singer who makes "music" that could've been written by a middle school girl.

  My Interpretation:I think PaigeRaquel has it in one :-). It may be an idealistic view, but I've always wondered whether it's possible to experience the sensation of being someone's "only one" and really feeling it without doubt.
  
  For me, this song is an expression of that intense desire.

  General Comment:This song makes me think of hot, passionate sex with a man who's taken, maybe even married.
  
  
  I want you to love me, like I'm a hot ride (there's a certain sexiness and danger to riding in a "hot ride". This is also a sexual reference.)
  Keep thinkin' of me, doin' what you like (keep doing what "he likes", which is cheating on his significant other with her)
  So boy forget about the world cuz it's gon' be me and you tonight (Forget about your significant other)
  I wanna make you beg for it, then imma make you swallow your pride (She's gonna make the sex so good for him that he will beg for it. He's normally a prideful guy, but she's going to make him forget his pride.)
  
  Want you to make me feel like I'm the only girl in the world
  Like I'm the only one that you'll ever love
  Like I'm the only one who knows your heart
  Only girl in the world...
  Like I'm the only one that's in command
  Cuz I'm the only one who understands how to make you feel like a man
  Want you to make me feel like I'm the only girl in the world
  Like I'm the only one that you'll ever love
  Like I'm the only one who knows your heart
  Only one...
  
  (Here she is saying that she knows he's taken, but she wants him to make love to her like SHE'S the only one, like there's no other woman. The other woman doesn't have what it takes to make him feel like a man, like how she does.)
  
  Want you to take it like a thief in the night (They need to be secretive, like thieves in the night)
  Hold me like a pillow, make me feel right (For her, it feels right when they're together)
  Baby I'll tell you all my secrets what I'm keepin', you can come inside (sexual double entendre)
  And when you enter, you ain't leavin', be my prisoner for the night (ditto)
  
  Take me for a ride, ride
  Oh baby, take me high, high
  Let me make you rise, rise
  Oh make it last all night, night
  Take me for a ride, ride
  Oh baby, take me high, high
  Let me make you rise, rise
  Make it last all night
  
  (These statements are obvious double entendres alluding to sex.)
  
  So basically it's an affair where she can give him so much more (at least sexually) than his wife/gf. That's my take on it anyway.
  
  I know there were rumors in the past that she slept with Jay-Z, maybe this was about that? *shrugs*

  General Comment:It's definitely hot ride... straight from the official Rihanna website.
  
  I think it's about undivided attention and passionate sex.

  Lyric Correction:It undoubtedly says "HOT PIE", which could very well be a reference to American Pie, the movie. Because this song is overtly referring to having one's attention for sex, or getting one's attention by having sex.
  
  "I'm going to make you beg for it"
  "Just you and me tonight"
  "Thief in the night"
  "Prisoner for the night"
  etc, etc, etc.
  
  I've never listened to Rihanna's version past the 1st line just to hear that it was indeed "HOT PIE" which comes as no shock b/c she obviously has no shame and American pop music almost entirely sucks.
  
  On the other hand, I LOVE Ellie Goulding's rendition where she changes the ENTIRE lyrical content of the song with one word, not to mention it's musically amazing. Check out the live version here: youtube.com/…
  
  As you can hear she says "like a hot bride", singing it passionately with her eyes closed.
  
  This song was a detriment to society before Ellie Goulding covered it. Thank you.

  General Comment:Ok my beautiful people .........It isn't about about a girl who doesn't know what she is doing...And it sure isn't about two virgins or a man knowing more then the girl........Here is what I think of the song and sure of what she is saying to HIM.............She wants him to lie her...About being in command and the (only girl) who can make him feel like a man and Being the ONLY GIRL (IN THE WORLD) HINT HINT ( ) She wants him to take control of her but she is telling him how to do it....She is telling him trough the whole song what she wants him to do... She wants it done right to get her high and for him to be the first to do it hint in the song
  
  Take me for a ride, ride
  Oh baby, take me high, high
  Let me make you first ,first
  Oh make it last all night, night
  Take me for a ride, ride
  Oh baby, take me high, high
  Let me make you first, first
  Make it last all night
  
  And let me make u first ...Does not have to mean they are virgins
  It can mean she has had other lovers who couldn't do it the right way
  This is why she is telling him what to do Her being in command of telling him
  And him being her prisoner by doing it :) Its about lies or what they call a booty call but she wants it done right :) Muahs have a beautiful day lots of hugs :)

  Lyric Correction:It's definitely "hot ride", not guy or pie
  &
  "I wanna make your bed for ya" is (and sounds more like) "I wanna make you beg for it" which makes more sense.
  
  
  The lyrics are posted on her website
