Rihanna - Photographs Lyrics

Artist: Rihanna

Album: Rated R

  • Songwriters: Will Adams, Jean Baptiste Kouame, Mike Mchenry, Allan Pineda, Alain Whyte

Here's a little story I've gotta tell
'Bout this boy I know so well
Back in the day was cool and all
Fell in love, I fell in love

Thought he was the one for me
Other boys I could not see
And look what happened to our love
I'm like, how could it be?

It should have been me and you
It could have been you and me
But boy, you broke my heart and now I'm standing here
It should have been me and you
It could have been you and me
Now I look at all these photographs

All I've got, all I've got
All I've got are these photographs
All I've got, all I've got
Is nothing without you

You, you
Got nothing without you
You, you
Got nothing without you

Now baby, it's killing me
I'm saying it's killing me
The fact that you went around
Baby, I'm falling down
I need me a remedy
Been looking for remedies
I need you to be around

Baby, I'm hurting now
I know you're a better man
When I was your girl
This land is a better land
When you're in my world
Today will be better, babe
If it were like yesterday
So happy and lovely, hey, hey, hey

All I've got, all I've got
All I've got are these photographs
All I've got, all I've got
Is nothing without you

You, you
Got nothing without you
You, you
Got nothing without you

All I've got are these photographs
I remember when I used to make you laugh
I don't wanna be stuck in the past
But you're all that I have that I had

And I don't wanna lose what we built this far
This is me and you, you're my superstar
I'd give anything, baby, here's my heart
My heart, my heart

My heart don't stop, my heart be beating over
My loving never stop, even though that it's over
Girl, I've been reminiscing when I play that Casanova
Way back when we was kissing on your grand-mama's sofa

Girl I got us lovey-dovey on my photo album
I got them pictures back when I was rocking Calvin Klein
You had your Guess jeans on, looking sexy
Oh home girl, why could it not be the one?

Why? Why? Why?
(I am not the one)
Why? Why? Why?
(Why couldn't you be the one?)
Why? Why? Why?
(Why couldn't you be the one?)
Why? Why? Why?

All I've got, all I've got
Is nothing without you
All I've got, all I've got
Is nothing without you

You, you
Is nothing without you
You, you
Is nothing without you

All I've got, is nothing without
All I've got, is nothing without
All I've got, all I've got are these photographs

    It seems like through the lyrics that, they want to be with eachother but "Look what happened to our love" meaning they could of worked it out/still be togeather without the Media or it being public. Meaning "All I've got is photographs" There is a restraining order out so that Chris Brown can't come close to her. The "Fact that it's killing her". Alot of regret of the day, they wish it never happened to be honest. "Today would be so much better if it was just like yesterday, so happy and lovely". It was all just a big mistake. :(

  • Anonymous

    shes still in love with with chris brown.
    this song is so about him
    so is stupid in love, as much as she wants to sit
    there and say she dont love him no more, u can see it on her face and hear it in her songs that shes
    clearly missing him!
    and thats the same with chris, all his album is about her. they shuld get back together.
    they were so good together.

    I love Rihanna , she really showed maturity on this album , all of her songs were more dance type songs. This album is filled of pure feelings so many people can relate to these songs. You can really tell when she's talking about Chris Brown and what really came from inside her heart. Which is pretty much every song ! Shee did a great job ! I love this song :)
