Man Down Lyrics - 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, 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

'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, 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

Little 22, I call her Peggy Sue

When she fits right down in my shoes

Whatchu expect me to do? if you're playing me for a fool

I will lose my cool, and reach for my fire arm

I didn't mean to lay him down

But its 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, aye uh

'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, 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 (Criminal)(In central station)

Said, "I'd 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 mi pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull it pon' you

Somebody tell me what I'm gonna, what I'm gonna do? Ehh

Rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum

Me say one man down (And wah me say)

Rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum

Then me went downtown

'Cause now I'mma criminal, criminal, criminal

Oh lorda mercy, now I am a criminal

Man Down, tell the judge please gimme minimal

Run out a town none a dem can see me now

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.
