Rihanna: Drunk on Love Meaning
Drunk on Love Lyrics
Yeah
yeah,yeah,yeah
No
I feel like I'm a hopeless romantic
I can't help falling in love
I fiend for love
I want it I crave it
I just can't get enough
[Hook]
Take me away
I wear my heart on my sleeve
...

Typical desire for love and affection. Self-love is not even a consideration at this point. the longing for love from someone else reigns here. Completely selfless and a bit unhealthy.
-
Yeah
yeah,yeah,yeah
No
I feel like I'm a hopeless romantic
I can't help falling in love
I fiend for love
I want it I crave it
I just can't get enough
(Meaning she wants love so bad and she's in love with the idea of love)
[Hook]
Take me away
I wear my heart on my sleeve
Always let love take the lead
I may be a little naive yeah
(Meaning she is willing to love someone and she does it falls for them fast and she knows it's because of her lack of knowledge about love.)
[Chorus]
You know I'm drunk on love
Drunk on love
Nothing can sober me up
It's all that I need
(Meaning she's so consumed by love she can't help it and she needs it more than anything else.)
Yeah
yeah,yeah,yeah
I've been let down
But never been tainted
So I stay thirsty for more
No I won't hold back
No drop is wasted
I let love runs it's course
(Meaning people she has loved broke her heart and she's never been loved before so it makes her crave it that much more. She's decided she's not going to let the people stop her from finding love so she continues and lets things go how they go.)
[Hook]
Take me away
I wear my heart on my sleeve
Always let love take the lead
I may be a little naive yeah
[Chorus]
You know I'm drunk on love
Drunk on love
Nothing can sober me up
You know I'm drunk on love
Drunk, (drunk on love)
Nothing can sober me up
It's all that I need
I'm so intoxicated
I love the way you taste
On my lips
When we kiss
You got me so addicted
So much I can't resist
Falling into your arms
(Meaning she wants it so bad every kiss makes her even more addicted and she can't resist falling in love with them.)
[Hook]
Take me away
I wear my heart on my sleeve
Always let love take the lead
I may be a little naive yeah
You know I'm drunk on love
Drunk on love
Nothing can sober me up
You know I'm drunk on love
Drunk, (drunk on love)
Nothing can sober me up
It's all that I need [x3]
(So in the end she hopes this time she gets the love she's been looking for for so long.) -
This song is saying how she is a hopeless romantic. She needs someone to be there and love her. She feigns for love and she craves it. She lets love get the best for her. She wears her heart on her sleeve, saving shes willing to give out her heart to anyone. She always been let down, so she never really felt what it's like to have love so she wants it more than ever. She is drunk on love, nothing can sober her up. No one is going to change the fact that she is this hopeless romantic. She can't resist falling for someone.
