Ooh na na, what's my name?
Ooh na na, what's my name?

Ooh na na, what's my name?
Ooh na na, what's my name?
Ooh na na, what's my name?
What's my name? What's my name?

Yeah, I heard you good with them soft lips
Yeah you know word of mouth
The square root of sixty nine is eight something, right?
'Cause I've been tryna work it out, ow
Good weed, white wine, uh
I come alive in the night time, yeah
Okay, away we go
Only thing we have on is the radio, oh
Let it play, say you gotta leave
But I know you wanna stay
You just waiting on the traffic jam to finish, girl
The things that we could do in twenty minutes, girl
Say my name, say my name
Wear it out, it's getting hot, crack a window, air it out
I can get you through a mighty long day
Soon as you go, the text that I write is gon' say

Ooh na na, what's my name?
Ooh na na, what's my name?
Ooh na na, what's my name?
What's my name? What's my name?

Not everybody
Knows how to work my body
Knows how to make me want it
But boy you stay up on it
You got the something
That keeps me so off balance
Baby you're a challenge
Let's explore your talent

Hey boy, I really wanna see if you
Can go downtown with a girl like me
Hey boy, I really wanna be with you
'Cause you just my type
Ooh na na na na
I need a boy, to take it over
Looking for a guy, to put in work uh
Ooh, ooh

Hey boy, I really wanna see if you
Can go downtown with a girl like me
Hey boy, I really wanna be with you
'Cause you just my type
Ooh na na na na
I need a boy, to take it over
Looking for a guy, to put in work uh
Ooh, ooh

Ooh na na, what's my name?
Ooh na na, what's my name?
Ooh na na, what's my name?
What's my name? What's my name?

Baby you got me
IT ain't nowhere that I'd be
Than with your arms around me
Back and forth you rock me, yeah
So I surrender, to every word you whisper
Every door you enter, I will let you in

Hey boy, I really wanna see if you
Can go downtown with a girl like me
Hey boy, I really wanna be with you
'Cause you just my type
Ooh na na na na
I need a boy, to take it over
Looking for a guy, to put in work uh
Ooh, ooh

You're so amazing
You took the time to figure me out
That's why you take me
Way past the point of turning me on
You 'bout to break me
I swear you got me losing my mind

Ooh na na, what's my name?
Ooh na na, what's my name?

Ooh na na, what's my name?
Ooh na na, what's my name?
Ooh na na, what's my name?
What's my name? What's my name?

Hey boy, I really wanna see if you
Can go downtown with a girl like me
Hey boy, I really wanna be with you
'Cause you just my type
Ooh na na na na
I need a boy, to take it over
Looking for a guy, to put in work uh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Hey boy, I really wanna see if you
Can go downtown with a girl like me
Hey boy, I really wanna be with you
'Cause you just my type
Ooh na na na na
I need a boy, to take it over
Looking for a guy, to put in work uh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

    love the beat, but like most songs these days once you read into the lyrics you find out how dirty the song is.

    My Interpretation

    This song makes absolutely on sense. It can't make up its mind about what story it is telling and I often find myself wondering if they are even singing about the same person.

    On one hand, you have Drake saying "I heard you good with them soft lips. Yeah, you know, word of mouth." In other words, they didn't really know each other and were probably not more than acquaintances, and he heard from some people that she is easy. Him saying "word of mouth" is a double entendre. It's a play toward oral sex while also meaning a rumor. Initially, his part of the song can be summed up like so: "Hey, I heard you put out. I have some good weed and wine if you wanna come spend the night with me."

    Then we have Rihanna and she has to be singing about someone completely different! The man she sings about is someone who is above the normal man and is irreplaceable. They have amazing emotional AND sexual chemistry and she's really loving that. The man is "so amazing" and "took the time to figure her out," after all. But how could that lyric be aimed toward Drake's character? He took the time to figure out that she's pretty much a guaranteed lay?

    My Interpretation

    I think the meaning of the song is extremely simple, and all of you are confusing yourselves way too much.

    Drake and Rihanna do not know eachother. They have hooked up because Drake has been told that Rihanna is good in bed... they have sex. Afterwards, he sends her a text saying "What's my name?"

    Soon as you go the text that I write is gonna say Oh na na What's my name?

    So clearly while they were having sex she was screaming his name. And afterwards he texts her this as a flirty little message to remind her of how much she enjoyed it.

    The rest of the song is just her talking about how good he was in bed...

    You so amazing You took the time to figure me out That's why you take me Way past the point of turning me on You 'bout to break me I swear you got me losing my mind

    This part simply means that he was amazing in bed, and bothered to figure out what she likes sexually. It doesn't mean that they got into any kind of relationship.

    There are references to oral sex ("go downtown with a girl like me"), anal ("every door you enter I will let you in"), oral again ("square root of 69 is ate something"). There are also many other references to sex, including:

    I need a boy to take it over Looking for a guy to put in work (She wants him to be dominant)

    Back and forth you rock me (Self explanatory)

    And of course the whole Drake part is about sex with her.

    The song is only about sex, nothing else. Stop worrying, and getting confused everybody. He texts her after the sex asking her "what's my name" because she was screaming it all the way through. Simple.

    Also, people who say Rihanna made this song to piss of Chris Brown, or that she has forgotten her own name and that is what this song is about, or that she should have self respect and stop talking about her sex life in songs... all of you are a bit thick. She never even wrote the song, she has no control over the meanings of her songs.
