LYRICS OF “RIHANNA - MAN DOWN”

I didn't mean to end his lifeI know it wasn't rightI can't even sleep at nightCan't get it off my mindI need to get out of sightBefore I end up behind bars
What started out as a simple altercationTurned into a real sticky situationMe just thinking on the time that I'm facingMakes me wanna cry
'Cause I didn't mean to hurt himCould've been somebody's sonAnd I took his heart whenI pulled out that gun
Rum pa pa pumRum pa pa pumRum pa pa pumMan downRum pa pa pumRum pa pa pumRum pa pa pumMan down
mama, mama, mamaI just shot a man downIn central stationIn front of a big old crowdOh why, oh whyOh, mama, mama, mamaI just shot a man downIn central station
It's a 22, I call her Peggy SueWhen she fits right down in my shoesWhat you expect me to doIf you're playing me for a foolI will lose my coolAnd reach for my fire arm
I didn't mean to lay him downBut it's too late to turn back nowDon't know what I was thinkingNow he's no longer livingSo I'm 'bout to leave town
'Cause I didn't mean to hurt himCould've been somebody's sonAnd I took his heart whenI pulled out that gun
Rum pa pa pumRum pa pa pumRum pa pa pumMan downRum pa pa pumRum pa pa pumRum pa pa pumMan down
mama, mama, mamaI just shot a man downIn central stationIn front of a big old crowdOh why, oh whyOh, mama, mama, mamaI just shot a man downIn central station
Look, I never thought I'd do itNever thought I'd do itNever thought I'd do it, oh goshWhat ever happened to meEver happened to me, ever happened to meWhy did I pull the triggerPull the trigger, pull the trigger, boomAnd end a nigga, end a niggas life so soonWhen me pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull it 'pon youSomebody tell me what I'm gonna, what I'm gonna do
Rum pa pa pumRum pa pa pumRum pa pa pumMe say wah man down (A weh me say)Rum pa pa pumRum pa pa pumRum pa pa pumWhen me went downtown
'Cause now I am a criminal, criminal, criminalOh lord have mercy now I am a criminalMan downTell the judge please give me minimalRun out of town,None of them can see me now, see me now
Oh, mama, mama, mamaI just shot a man downIn central stationIn front of a big old crowdOh why, oh whyOh, mama, mama, mamaI just shot a man downIn central station
