Song of the Day #5,097: ‘We All Want Love’ – Rihanna

‘We All Want Love’ is a cut from Rihanna’s 2011 album Talk That Talk, at that point her sixth album in seven years. She released Unapologetic the following year, then took an uncharacteristic four-year break before dropping Anti, arguably her best work to date.

And since Anti… six years and counting, with many promises of new material, none of them fulfilled. Rumors of an imminent release have persisted since at least 2019.

In the meantime, Rihanna has grown a business empire that includes popular cosmetics and fashion lines, and is now the richest female musician in the world, with a net worth approaching $2 billion.

I guess we can forgive her for the lack of new music.

[Intro]
We all, we all, we all, we all, we all
We all, we all, we all, we all, we all

[Verse 1]
I can pretend that I’m not lonely
But I’ll be constantly fooling myself
I can pretend that it don’t matter
But I’ll be sitting here lying to myself
Some say love ain’t worth the buck
But I’ll give every dime I have left
To have what I’ve only been dreaming about

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody wants something, gotta want something
What are you living for?
Everybody needs something, fighting for something
I know what you’re fighting for, ’cause we all…

[Chorus]
We all want someone there to hold
We just want somebody
We all wanna be somebody’s one and only
We all wanna be warm when it’s cold
Yeah, yeah, yeah
No one wants to be left scared and lonely

[Bridge]
We all, we all, we all, we all, we all
We all want the same thing
We all, we all, we all, we all, we all
We all want the same thing
We all, we all, we all, we all, we all
We all want the same thing
Everybody wants something, gotta want something
Yeah, yeah, we all want love

[Verse 2]
I’m able to close my eyes, yet my heart’s not so blind
I feel so entitled, love owes me, I want what’s mine
And some say love ain’t worth the buck
But I’ll give my last dime
To have what I’ve only been dreaming about

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody wants something, gotta want something
What are you living for?
Everybody needs something, fighting for something
I know what you’re fighting for, ’cause we all…

[Chorus]
We all want someone there to hold
We just want somebody
We all wanna be somebody’s one and only
We all wanna be warm when it’s cold
Yeah, yeah, yeah
No one wants to be left scared and lonely

[Bridge]
We all, we all, we all, we all, we all
We all want the same thing
We all, we all, we all, we all, we all
We all want the same thing
We all, we all, we all, we all, we all
We all want the same thing
Everybody wants something, gotta want something
Yeah, yeah, we all want love

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, we all want love
