Rihanna - Man Down Lyrics

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, for 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 fessing
makes me want to cry...

Cuz 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 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
ooooohhh why x2
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 playing
me for a fool, I would lose my cool, and reach for my firearm
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 is no longer living,
So I'm about to leave town

Cuz 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 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 o crowd
ooooohhh why x2
Oh Mama, Mama, Mama, I just shot a man down
In central station

But I'd never thought I'd do it, I 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 de trigga, pull de trigga, pull de trigga, BOOM!
And end a nigga, end a nigga life so soon
When me pulled de trigga, pull de trigga, pulled it pon u
Somebody tell me what I'm gonna, what I'm gonna do

Aye, Rum bum bum bum, Rum bum bum bum, Rum bum bum bum,
me say one man down
oh when me say, Rum bum bum bum, Rum bum bum bum, Rum bum bum bum,
Let me run downtown, cuz now I am 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 o crowd
ooooohhh why x2
Oh Mama, Mama, Mama, I just shot a man down
In central station
