Read the entire NYT Times article, and the verse Drake dedicated to his short-lived relationship with Rihanna on his new album "Thank Me Later" and the actual song and lyrics .... after the jump.
"And on “Fireworks” there’s a verse about Rihanna who asked him last year to write a song for her new album; the two soon began seeing each other regularly, though they never publicly confirmed their brief relationship.“I was a pawn,” Drake said. The song he wrote for her never got released. “You know what she was doing to me? She was doing exactly what I’ve done to so many women throughout my life, which is show them quality time, then disappear,” he said. “I was like, wow, this feels terrible.”
I'm just such a gentleman you should give it up for me
look at how I'm placing all my napkins and my cutlery
I can tell it wasn't love I just thought you fuck with me
who coulda predicted love could strike now you stuck with me
Damn I kept my wits about me luckily
what happened between us that night it always seems to trouble me
now all of a sudden these gossip brags wanna cover me
and you making it seem that it happened that way because of me
but I was curious and I'll never forget it baby
what an experience you coulda been the one but it wasn't that serious
their was smoke in the air before now its me clearing it
that felt good, all and all I learned a lesson from it though
you never see it coming you just get to see it go
yeah, I shoulda looked up in the sky at first
now I can see it in her eyes
