Man Down

Rihanna

I didn't mean to end his life
I know it wasn't right
I can't even sleep at night
Can't get it off  my mind
I need to get out of sight
Before I end up behind bars

What started out
As a simple altercation
Turned into a real sticky situation
Me just thinking on
The time that I'm facing
Makes me wanna cry

'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Coulda been somebody'son
And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gun

Rum bum bum bum
Rum bum bum bum
Rum bum bum bum
Man Down
Rum bum bum bum
Rum bum bum bum
Rum bum bum bum
Man Down

Oh mama mama mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
In front of a big ol' crowd
Oh why
Oh why

Oh mama mama mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
It's a twenty two
I call her peggy sue
When she fits

Right down in my shoes
What do you expect me to do
If you're playing me fora fool
I will lose my cool
And reach for my fire arm

I didn't mean to lay him down
But it's too late to turn back now
Don't know what I was thinkin'
Now he's no longer livin'
So I'm 'bout to leave town

'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Coulda been somebody'son
And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gun
Rum bum bum bum
Rum bum bum bum
Rum bum bum bum
Man Down
Rum bum bum bum
Rum bum bum bum
Rum bum bum bum
Man Down

Oh mama mama mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
In front of a big ol' crowd
Oh why
Oh why


I just shot a man down
In central station
Look I never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it

Oh gosh
What ever happened to me
Ever happened to me
Ever happened to me
Why did I pull the trigger
Pull the trigger


And end a n*****(
End a n*******'s life soon
When we pull the trigger
Pull the trigger
Pull it from you

Somebody tell me
What I'm gonna
What I'm gonna do
Rum bum bum bum
Rum bum bum bum
Rum bum bum bum


A one me say
Rum bum bum bum
Rum bum bum bum
Rum bum bum bum
When we went downtown

'Cause now I am a criminal
Criminal criminal
Oh Lord have mercy
Now I am criminal
Man Down

Please give me minimal
Run out of town
None a them can see me now
See me now
Oh mama mama mama
I just shot a man down

In central station
In front of big ol' crowd
Oh why
Oh why
Oh mama mama mama
I just shot a man down
