Video y letra: Rihanna - Man Down

I didn't mean to end his life
I know it wasn't right
I cant even sleep at night
Can't get it off my mind
I need to get out of sight
Before 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 im 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 up that gun

Rum pum pum pum rum pum
Pum pum rum pum pum pum
Man down
Rum pum pum pum rum pum
Pum pum rum pum pum pum
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 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 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

'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Coulda been somebody's son
And I took his heart
When I pulled up that gun

Rum pum pum pum rum pum
Pum pum rum pum pum pum
Man down
Rum pum pum pum rum pum
Pum pum rum pum pum pum
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

Look I 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's life so soon
When I pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull it on you
Somebody tell me what I'm gonna, what I'm gonna do

Rum pum pum pum rum pum
Pum pum rum pum pum pum
They say one man down
Rum pum pum pum rum pum
Pum pum rum pum pum pum
And I ran downtown

'Cause now I'm 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 on the Grand seminal, seminal

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
