[Chorus: Rihanna]

Work, work, work, work, work, work

[Verse 1: Rihanna]

Dry, me ah desert him

Nuh time to have you lurking

Him ah go act like he nuh like it

You know I dealt with you the nicest

Nuh body touch me, you nuh righteous

Nuh badda, text me in a crisis

I believed all of your dreams, adoration

You took my heart and my keys and my patience

You took my heart on my sleeve for decoration

You mistaken my love I brought for you for foundation

All that I wanted from you was to give me

Something that I never had

Something that you've never seen

Something that you've never been, mm

But I wake up and act like nothing's wrong

[Chorus: Rihanna]

Just get ready fi work, work, work, work, work, work

He said me haffi work, work, work, work, work, work

He see me do mi dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt

Ah so me put in work, work, work, work, work, work

Ner, ner, ner, ner, ner, ner

When you ah guh learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn?

Before the tables turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn

[Verse 2: Rihanna]

Beg you something, please

Baby, don't you leave

Don't leave me stuck here in the streets, uh-huh

If I get another chance to

I will never, no, never neglect you

I mean, who am I to hold your past against you?

I just hope that it gets to you

I hope that you see this through

I hope that you see this true

What can I say?

Please recognize I'm tryin', babe

[Chorus: Rihanna & Drake]

I haffi work, work, work, work, work, work

He said me haffi work, work, work, work, work, work

He see me do mi dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt

So me put in work, work, work, work, work, work

When you ah guh learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn?

Me nuh cyar if him hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurting (Yeah, okay)

[Verse 3: Drake, Rihanna, Drake & Rihanna]

You need to get done, done, done, done at work, come over

We just need to slow the motion

Don't give that away to no one

Long distance, I need you (Ah)

When I see potential, I just gotta see it through

If you had a twin, I would still choose you

I don't wanna rush into it if it's too soon

But I know you need to get done, done, done, done

If you come over

Sorry if I'm way less friendly

I got niggas tryna end me, oh (Yeah)

I spilled all my emotions tonight, I'm sorry

Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'

How many more shots until you're rollin'?

We just need a face-to-face

You could pick the time and the place

You spent some time away

Now you need to forward

[Chorus: Rihanna, Rihanna & Drake]

And give me all the work, work, work, work, work, work

He said me haffi work, work, work, work, work, work

He see me do mi dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt

So me put in work, work, work, work, work, work

When you ah guh learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn?

Me nuh cyar if him hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurting

[Outro: Rihanna, Rihanna & Drake]

Mm

Work, work, work, work, work, work
