S&M Song Lyrics
Na-na-na, come on
Na-na-na, come on
Na-na-na-na-na, come on
Na-na-na, come on, come on, come on
Na-na-na-na, come on
Na-na-na, come on
Na-na-na-na-na, come on
Na-na-na, come on, come on, come on
Na-na-na-na
Feels so good being bad (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
There's no way I'm turning back (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Now the pain is my pleasure 'cause nothing could measure
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Love is great, love is fine (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Out the box, outta line (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
The affliction of the feeling leaves me wanting more
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
'Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me
'Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me
Na-na-na, come on, come on, come on
I like it, like it
Come on, come on, come on
I like it, like it (Na-na-na)
Come on, come on, come on
I like it, like it
Come on, come on, come on
I like it, like it
Love is great, love is fine (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Out the box, outta line (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
The affliction of the feeling leaves me wanting more
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
'Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me
Na-na-na, come on, come on, come on
I like it, like it
Come on, come on, come on
I like it, like it (Na-na-na)
Come on, come on, come on
I like it, like it
Come on, come on, come on
I like it, like it
S-S-S and M-M-M
S-S-S and M-M-M
Oh, I love the feeling you bring to me
Oh, you turn me on
It's exactly what I've been yearning for
Give it to me strong
And meet me in my boudoir
Make my body say, "Ah-ah-ah"
I like it, like it
'Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me
'Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me
Na-na-na, come on, come on, come on
I like it, like it
Come on, come on, come on
I like it, like it (Na-na-na)
Come on, come on, come on
I like it, like it
Come on, come on, come on
I like it, like it

Artist Info:
Rihanna is a Barbadian singer, noticeable for her really peculiar voice and style of mixing R&B, pop, and dance genres together. She made a debut on the musical horizon with the first album in 2005 and very soon ascended to the world stage. Celebrated as a multifaceted pop star with a range of talents, Rihanna equaled her vocal talent in the fashion sense and boldness of visual presentation. Throughout her career, she has won quite a few awards, including Grammys, and has been nominated in quite a few cases. One of the most recurring themes in her music is love, relationships, and self-assertion. After all, Rihanna is also very famous for all the charity that she does and all the types of businesses that she owns, from a cosmetics brand called Fenty Beauty.
Annotations and Meaning:
"S&M" by Rihanna delves into themes of power dynamics and pain vs. pleasure while dealing with romantic relationships within a colorful environment. The line "'Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it" is delivered in a fashion that had the speaker repeating a playful conversation of someone who knows she is doing something pleasurable and what society will most times frown upon, more especially looking at her sexual preference.
The words to the chorus, "sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips excite me," use a reversal of a familiar children's rhyme to state something very adventurous about taking pleasure in what may be customarily known as painful. The line powerfully declares sexual agency and embraces unconventionally desired sex.
The hook, meanwhile, is chorused charismatically with the chant-like "Na-na-na, come on," bringing about a catchy, rhythmical element that emphasizes the celebratory tone of having personal tastes and living out one's sexual freedom.
