Lyrics
Intro — Drake
Yeah...
You thought you knew everything?
That's the funny part.
Some stories got another side to 'em.
(OVO)
Verse 1 — Drake
You was posting pictures, I was calling after midnight
She was telling me the things she never told you in her whole life
You were somewhere thinking everything was going just right
I was somewhere with your girl watching New York turn to sunrise
I ain't gotta lie, we had a history before you
Every time she got emotional, she knew just who to call to
You were busy building an image, I was building something real
Now you're making all these records 'cause you hate the way she feels
You can tell the world that you were never worried
But you wouldn't be responding if you weren't in a hurry
I ain't steal a thing, she came to me willingly
You had the title, but she had a different feeling for me.
Pre-Chorus — Rihanna
Don't act surprised, you knew the signs
I was somewhere else in my mind
You thought that I was yours for life
But I was living another side
Chorus — Drake & Rihanna
Drake:
I took your girl, now what you gonna do?
She was looking for a love, then she found something new
You can say whatever, but you know the truth
She don't look at you the way she looks at me in this room
Rihanna:
We were sneaking, we were keeping secrets
Late-night calls, you didn't even see it
Now we're out here and we don't gotta hide
You lost your place, baby, I got mine
Both:
Behind your back, behind your back
We had a whole world you never knew about
Behind your back, behind your back
Now everybody knows what we've been talking about.
Verse 2 — Rihanna
He was calling when the city went to sleep
I was telling him the things I couldn't keep
You were thinking I was somewhere with my friends
But I was somewhere wishing nights would never end
Drake knows how to make a woman feel wanted
Never had to ask him twice if he was honest
You can say that I'm the villain in your story
But you never really knew the girl before me
I don't owe you an explanation
I was tired of all the complications
Now I'm stepping out in something custom-made
And your whole world changes when you see my face.
Verse 3 — Drake
Look
You got the family pictures, I got the late-night conversations
You got the public appearances, I got the private reservations
You were thinking you were untouchable, I saw the hesitation
Now you're looking at the two of us like it's an intervention
You said I couldn't have her, I said watch how things can change
You were busy making promises, I was learning all her ways
I know you hate to hear it, but she never felt the same
You can keep on saying my name, I'm the reason that you changed
You got mad about a song, I got a life you can't imagine
You were worried 'bout the headlines, I was worried 'bout what happened
She said she wanted something different, I just happened to be present
Now you're watching from a distance while we're living in the present.
Bridge — Rihanna
Oh-oh, you should've known
You can't hold somebody who don't wanna be held
Oh-oh, now I'm gone
And I don't need permission to love somebody else
Drake — Melodic Response
Yeah, I know you see the pictures
I know you read the captions
You can call it what you want
But you can't change what happened
Final Chorus — Drake & Rihanna
I took your girl, now what you gonna do?
She was looking for a love, then she found something new
You can say whatever, but you know the truth
She don't look at you the way she looks at me in this room
Rihanna:
We were sneaking, we were keeping secrets
Late-night calls, you didn't even see it
Now we're out here and we don't gotta hide
You lost your place, baby, I got mine
Both:
Behind your back, behind your back
We had a whole world you never knew about
Behind your back, behind your back
Now everybody knows what we've been talking about.
Outro — Drake
Yeah...
You can keep the memories.
I'll keep the girl.
Rihanna — Soft vocals
Should've paid attention...
Before you lost me.
Drake
OVO.
Rihanna
Goodnight.
Beat fades into Rihanna's layered vocals.
