Man Down Lyrics & Chords By 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
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 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 up 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 I, I
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 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 I, I
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 life so soon
When me pull the trigger pull the trigger pull it on you
Somebody tell me what I'm gonna what I'm gonna do

Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum
Me say one man down oh me say
Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bumm rum bum bum bum
And me ran downtown

'Cause now I am 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
