[Video Intro: Agyness Deyn]
It's like you're screaming, and no one can hear
You almost feel ashamed, that someone could be that important
That without them, you feel like nothing
No one will ever understand how much it hurts
You feel hopeless, like nothing can save you
And when it's over and it's gone
You almost wish you could have all that bad stuff back
So that you could have the good
[Verse 1: Rihanna]
Yellow diamonds in the light
And we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive
[Pre-Chorus: Rihanna]
It's the way I'm feeling, I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go
[Chorus: Rihanna]
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
[Instrumental Drop]
[Verse 2: Rihanna]
Shine a light through an open door
Love and life, I will divide
Turn away 'cause I need you more
Feel the heartbeat in my mind
[Pre-Chorus: Rihanna]
It's the way I'm feeling, I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go
[Chorus: Rihanna]
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
[Bridge: Rihanna]
Yellow diamonds in the light
And we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
[Chorus: Rihanna]
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
[Instrumental Drop]
[Chorus: Rihanna]
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

We Found Love was produced by Calvin Harris.
Rihanna released We Found Love on Thu Sep 22 2011.
In 2018, NPR ranked this as the #40 greatest song by a female or nonbinary artist in the 21st century, saying:
Calvin Harris' production of ‘We Found Love’ feels prickly at first, then purely stimulating. It’s an undulating landscape that gives Rihanna space to sing to the stars about the intangibl...
“We Found Love” was one of my favorite songs to record for the album; I think we were in Sweden. It wasn’t vocally challenging, but we had to reprogram our thinking because the song wasn’t in a traditional format. It wasn’t verse-chorus-verse, it was basically a hook. But the energy was so insane!"
