Man Down Lyrics By Rihanna

    sak pasé

    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

    pre
    ’cause i didn’t mean to hurt him
    coulda been somebody’s son
    and i took his heart when
    i pulled out that gun
    rumpumpumpum rumpumpumpum rumpumpumpum
    man down
    rumpumpumpum rumpumpumpum rumpumpumpum
    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

    it’s a twentytwo i call her peggy sue
    when she fits right down in my shoes
    what you expect me to do if you’re playing 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 ayyuh

    pre
    ’cause i didn’t mean to hurt him
    coulda been somebody’s son
    and i took his heart when
    i pulled out that gun
    rumpumpumpum rumpumpumpum rumpumpumpum
    man down
    rumpumpumpum rumpumpumpum rumpumpumpum
    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 would you hear me now
    in central station

    look i’d never thought i’d do it
    never thought i’d do it
    never thought i’d do it oh gosh
    whatever happened to me

    why did i pull the trigger pull the trigger
