Rihanna - Russian Roulette Lyrics

Take a breath, take it deep
"Calm yourself," he says to me
If you play, you play for keeps
Take the gun, and count to three
I'm sweating now, moving slow
No time to think, my turn to go

And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
Said I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger

Say a prayer to yourself
He says, "Close your eyes, sometimes it helps"
And then I get a scary thought
That he's here means he's never lost

And you can see my heart beating
Oh, you can see it through my chest
Said I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving
Know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger

As my life flashes before my eyes
I'm wondering will I ever see another sunrise?
So many won't get the chance to say goodbye
But it's too late to think of the value of my life

And you can see my heart beating
Oh, you can see it through my chest
Said I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving, no
Know that I must pass this test

You can see my heart beating
Oh, you can see it through my chest
I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving, no
Know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger

  I loved all rihanna's songs ... because she always infuses each of her songs .. and of course because her vocals are stunning making every song was beautiful to heard ... She's very talented.

  The "Russian Roulette" represents the risks you are taking (sometimes with your life) when you go back to an abusive relationship, or when you don't leave one. It's kinda a beautiful and strikingly accurate metaphor. (notice the HE)

  I cant beleive Rihanna is being interviewed saying she broke off her realtionship with Chris Brown because of her influence over young girls, and how they follow her example, whilst releasing this song.
