Song lyrics
Oh 
How 'bout a round of applause? 
Yeah 
Standin ovation 
Ohwoah Yeah 
Yeah yeah yeah yeah 

You look so dumb right now 
Standin' outside my house 
Tryin' to apologize 
You're so ugly when you cry 
Please 
Just cut it out 

Don't tell me you're sorry, 
Cause you're not, 
And baby when I know, 
You're only sorry you got caught 

But you put on quite a show. 
Really had me goin' 
But now it's time to go, 
Curtain's finally closin'. 
That was quite a show. 
Very entertainin'. 
But it's over now. 
Go on and take a bow. 

Grab your clothes and get gone. 
You better hurry up, 
Before the sprinklers come on. 
Talkin 'bout, 
'Girl I love you, you're the one.' 
This just looks like a rerun. 
Please. 
What else is on? 

And don't tell me you're sorry, 
Cause you're not. 
Baby when I know, 
You're only sorry you got caught. 

But you put on quite a show. 
Really had me goin' 
But now it's time to go, 
Curtain's finally closin'. 
That was quite a show. 
Very entertainin'. 
But it's over now. 
Go on and take a bow. 

And the award for the best lie goes to you! 
For makin' me believe 
That you could be faithful to me. 
Let's hear your speech. 

How 'bout a round of applause? 
Standin' ovation 

But you put on quite a show. 
Really had me goin' 
But now it's time to go, 
Curtain's finally closin'. 
That was quite a show. 
Very entertainin'. 
But it's over now. 
Go on and take a bow. 
But it's over now.

uh, it's okay. but the worst part is

"You look so dumb right now
Standin' outside my house
Tryin' to apologize
You're so ugly when you cry
Please
Just cut it out"

seriously, why in the world would you put that in a song? the lyrics are kinda stupid, but as i said, it's okay.

Rihanna is amazing as always. Her voice gives this song the edge it needs. The lyrics could be a little more polished, but hey... it works for her.

This song is a textbook example of how not to write a song. The lyrics seem like they just wrote them down on a napkin 5 minutes before the session and had no other ideas. The chord structure and the melody is random and seems they made it to be equally as bad as the lyrics. Rihanna's voice is very very very very weak and nasally and I hate to say it but gives me the impression she has never taken any sort of vocal lessons in her life. It's very sad for me to think that such a horribly written, produced, and performed song is getting major radio airtime and everytime I hear it on the radio I want to vomit. Bad....just really really really really bad. Like one of the worst songs I have ever heard in my life.

i actually cant stand rihanna but of all the songs she has ever done, this is the best one that i have heard her sing. it beats umbrella any day of the week.

having said that the manic street preachers do an awesome version of umbrella, apart from the ella ella ella eh eh eh bit.

She was better with her calypso-type music
Her voice isn't really that pleasant, and the song's below mediocre
Why does this happen to so many of these stars?

i love the song, i agree the lyrics has some stupid moments but i think the song is nicely produced. Excellent rhythm, catchy sounds, perfectly mixed.

In the pop/r&b context this is a remarkable song. Rihanna's voice may sound a little nasal, but is the way she sounds in all her songs, is just the way her voice is. I mean, just as britney may sound like she is havin an orgasm everytime she sings a note. lol

i cant stand the bad reviews, complaining about that the song is playing a lot in the radio? i mean, thats just a sign of a successful hit, so deal with it.

This song needs better lyrics!

I could probably write a song like this in a couple of minutes, and too bad though, this would have been a good song if it had well written lyrics with complex, meaningful words.

I agree the lyrics are kind of sucky especially the "Award for best lie" part. This song still rocks though

wow,everybody's clowing the lyrics,but i like them.comparing someone's half-baked apology to a second-rate acting performance works for me.

And this has to be the best her vocals have ever sounded.
