Lyrics for Rihanna – Cheers (Drink To That)
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah [x2]
[Chorus:]
Cheers to the freaking weekend

I drink to that, I drink to that, I drink to that

Life’s too short to be sitting around miserable
People gonna talk whether you doing bad or good, yeah
Got a drink on my mind and my mind on my money, yeah
