Rihanna - Man Down

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 out my mind
I need to get outta sight
'Fore 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

[pre-hook]
'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Coulda been somebody's son
And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gun
Rum bum bum bum (x3)
Man down
Rum bum bum bum (x3)
Man down

[hook]
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

Little .22
I call her Peggy Sue
And she fits right down in my shoes
What you expect me to do
If you're playin' me for a 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 thinking
Now he's no longer living
So I'm 'bout to leave town
[pre-hook, hook]

Can you hear me now?

Said I never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it

Oh gosh, whatever happened to me
Ever happened to me
Ever happened to me

Why did I pull the trigga
Pull the trigga
Pull the trigga - boom

And end a ni**a
End a ni**a's life so soon

When me pull the trigga
Pull the trigga
Pull it pon you

Somebody, tell me what I'm gonna
What I'm gonna do

Rum bum bum bum (x3)
Me say one man down

And when me say
Rum bum bum bum (x3)
Then me went downtown

'Cause now I am a criminal, criminal, criminal
Oh Lawd of 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
