Rihanna - Man Down

Sak Pasé

I didn't mean to end his life I know it wasn't right I can't even sleep at night I can't get it off my mind I need to get out of sight 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 Could've been somebody's son And I took his heart when I pulled out that gun

Rum-pum-pum-pum Rum-pum-pum-pum Rum-pum-pum-pum Man down Rum-pum-pum-pum Rum-pum-pum-pum Rum-pum-pum-pum Man down

Oh, mama, mama, mama I just shot a man down In central station In front of a big old crowd Oh why, oh why? Oh, mama, mama, mama I just shot a man down In central station

It's a 22, I call her Peggy Sue When she fits right down in my shoes What do you expect me to do If you're playin' me for a fool I will lose my cool And reach for my firearm

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

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

Rum-pum-pum-pum Rum-pum-pum-pum Rum-pum-pum-pum Man down Rum-pum-pum-pum Rum-pum-pum-pum Rum-pum-pum-pum Man down

Oh, mama, mama, mama I just shot a man down In central station In front of a big old crowd Oh why, oh why? Oh, mama, mama, mama I just shot a man down (well hear me now) 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, pull the trigger, boom And end a nigga, end a nigga life so soon When me pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull it on you Somebody tell me what I'm gonna, what I'm gonna do

Rum-pum-pum-pum Rum-pum-pum-pum Rum-pum-pum-pum Me say one man down Oh, let me say Rum-pum-pum-pum Rum-pum-pum-pum Rum-pum-pum-pum When me went downtown

'Cause now I'm a criminal, criminal, criminal Oh Lord, oh, mercy now, I am a criminal Man down Tell the judge please give me minimal Run out of town None of them can see me now, see me now

Oh, mama, mama, mama I just shot a man down In central station In front of a big old crowd Oh why, oh why? Oh, mama, mama, mama I just shot a man down In central station
