"Umbrella" lyrics
"Umbrella"
Uh-huh, uh-huh (Yeah, Rihanna)
Uh-huh, uh-huh (Good Girl Gone Bad)
Uh-huh, uh-huh (Take three, action)
Uh-huh, uh-huh (Hov)
No clouds in my stones
Let it rain, I hydroplane in the bank
Coming down with the Dow Jones
When the clouds come, we gone, we Roc-A-Fella
We fly higher than weather, in G5's or better
You know me (You know me)
In anticipation for precipitation, stack chips for the rainy day
Jay—Rain Man is back
With Little Miss Sunshine, Rihanna, where you at?
You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby, 'cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you, I'll always share
Because
When the sun shine, we shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out to the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella—ella—ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella—ella—ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella—ella—ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella—ella—ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh-eh
These fancy things
Will never come in between
You're part of my entity
Here for infinity
When the war has took its part
When the world has dealt its cards
If the hand is hard
Together we'll mend your heart
Because
When the sun shine, we shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out to the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella—ella—ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella—ella—ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella—ella—ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella—ella—ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh-eh
You can run into my arms
It's okay, don't be alarmed
Come into me
There's no distance in between our love
So gon' and let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Because
When the sun shine, we shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out to the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella—ella—ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella—ella—ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella—ella—ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella—ella—ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh-eh
It's raining, raining
Ooh, baby, it's raining, raining
Baby, come here to me
Come into me
It's raining, raining
Ooh, baby, it's raining, raining
You can always come into me
Come into me
It's pouring rain
It's pouring rain
Come here to me
Come into me
It's pouring rain
It's pouring rain

The-Dream said to Billboard about the inspiration to write this song,
"I felt in my heart at the time that I needed a friend like this. I wanted to also be that person for someone else. It took maybe 15 minutes to get out the song, it began like a rap freestyle and it just never stopped pouring, metaphor after metaphor."
Rihanna told in an interview with Q magazine in January 2008, "I definitely knew that it was one of the most original sounds that I'd heard for a while. But a lot of people didn't really understand it. They thought the repetition was annoying. But I knew that was what people would catch on to right away, because that's what stuck in my head. People didn't get the lyric either."
The main metaphor of this song was explained by Rihanna, "An umbrella is protection, it protects you from rain. The rain in this case is negativeness and vulnerability."
The music video for this track won for "Video of the Year" at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards.
Mandy Moore recorded a version of this song, that was used on an episode of MTV's "The Hills".
