Photographs

[Intro: Rihanna]

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?"

[Verse 1: Rihanna & will.i.am]

It shoulda been me and you

It coulda been you and me

But boy, you broke my heart and now I'm standing there

It shoulda been me and you

It coulda been you and me

Now all I got are these photographs

[Chorus: Rihanna & will.i.am]

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

[Verse 2: Rihanna]

Now baby, it's killing me

I'm saying it's killing me

The fact that you ain't 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

[Chorus: Rihanna & will.i.am]

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

[Refrain: Rihanna]

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

[Verse 3: will.i.am]

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 grandmama'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 no

Girl, why could it not be the one?

[Bridge: Rihanna & will.i.am]

(Why? Why? Why?)

Why couldn't I be 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?)

[Chorus: Rihanna & will.i.am, Rihanna]

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

[Outro: Rihanna, Rihanna & will.i.am]

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
