Critical Analysis:"Rehab" by Rihanna and Justin Timberlake

[Verse 1:]
Baby, baby
When we first met
I never felt something so strong
You were like my lover
And my best friend
All wrapped into one
With a ribbon on it
And all of a sudden
you went and left
I didn't know how to follow
It's like a shock
That spun me around
And now my heart's dead
I feel so empty and hollow

CRITICAL ANALYSIS:
What I think about this song, Is she is hooked on her lover like a drug. When her lover decide to leave she feels
like she is about to check into Rehab. And he is her disease. The meaning is also in the chorus. The meaning is:
You're the reason
Why I'm thinking
I don't wanna smoke on
These cigarettes no more
I guess that's what I get
For wishful thinking
Should've never let you enter my door
Next time you wanna go on and leave
I should just let you go on and do it
Cause now I'm using like I bleed
It's like I checked into rehab
Baby you're my disease

Kaleia,
Again, you have too many lyrics from the song. Also, I want you to use another song as your positive song. I would not consider this a positive song because of the references about drugs. In fact, instead of a love song, find a song that is more meaningful.
