Too Good

“Too Good” is a song about a couple who go out of their way to treat each other well, while they feel like their love is taken for granted. Carrying the same Caribbean and dancehall-calypso beat as that of “Work”, their most recent duet, “One Dance”, a recent solo single, and Controlla, this is the fourth collaboration between Rihanna and Drake (after “What's My Name?” and “Take Care”). All four songs focus on relationships. In his interview with Zane Lowe, Drake spoke about the song: ‘Too Good’ came to fruition after we did ‘Work.’ I was like, I think I have one that would follow this one up really nicely. She got in the studio and just bodied it. It was like a flawless victory when she sent it back…We have a genuine energy between us. Rihanna and Drake used to be in a relationship,—while their recent return collaborations has started rumors that they’re together, Rihanna clarified that she’s still single and their reunion is only professional. Drake’s third verse interpolates Jamaican dancehall artist Popcaan’s “Love Yuh Bad”—and the track includes a direct sample of Popcaan’s verse on the outro.

[Intro: Drake] Oh yeah, yeah, yeah Oh yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah [Verse 1: Drake] Look...I don't know how to talk to you I don't know how to ask you if you're okay My friends always feel the need to tell me things Seems like they're just happier than us these days Yeah These days I don't know how to talk to you I don't know how to be there when you need me It feels like the only time you see me Is when you turn your head to the side and look at me differently Yeah [Pre-Chorus: Drake] And last night I think I lost my patience Last night, I got high as your expectations Last night, I came to a realization And I hope you can take it I hope you can take it, oh [Chorus: Drake] I'm too good to you I'm way too good to you You take my love for granted I just don't understand it No, I'm too good to you I'm way too good to you You take my love for granted I just don't understand it [Verse 2: Rihanna] I don't know how to talk to you I just know I found myself getting lost with you Lately you just make me work too hard for you Got me on flights overseas, and I still can't get across to you [Pre-Chorus: Rihanna] And last night I think I lost my patience Last night, I got high as your expectations Last night, I came to a realization And I hope you can take it I hope you can take it, oh [Chorus: Drake & Rihanna] I'm too good to you I'm way too good to you You take my love for granted I just don't understand it No, I'm too good to you I'm way too good to you You take my love for granted I just don't understand it [Verse 3: Drake] Years go by too fast I can't keep track How long did we last?
