[Chorus] [Nelly] My New York lover You lift to far away (yeah yeah) [Ashanti] My St. Louise lover
What can I do to make you stay
[Nelly] I wanna tell you that I understand now Shorty I really think I do [Ashanti] I wanna tell you that I need you right now I'm speaking nothing but the truth
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 Could've been somebody's son And I took his heart when I pulled out that gun
Rum pum pum rum pum pum pum rum pum pum pum 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 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 fire arm
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 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 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 niggas life so soon When mi pull the trigger pull the trigger pull it pon 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 Mi say wah man down (A weh mi say) Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bumm rum bum bum bum When mi went downtown
Cause now I am a criminal criminal criminal Oh lord a mercy now I am a criminal Man Down Tell the judge please gimme minimal Run out a town none a dem cah see mi now
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
Lyrics :- It’s been a long time since I came around
Been a long time but I’m back in town This time I’m not leaving without you
You taste like whiskey when you kiss me, oooh I’ll give anything again to be your baby doll This time I’m not leaving without you
He said sit back down where you belong In the corner of my bar with your high heels on Sit back down on the couch where we made love for first time and you said to me
Something, something about this place Something ‘bout lonely nights and my lipstick on your face Something, something about my cool Nebraska guy Yeah something about Baby yoü and I
It`s been two years since I let you go, I couldn’t listen to a joke or rock `n roll Muscle cars drove a truck right through my heart
On my birthday you sing me a heart of gold With a guitar humming and no clothes This time I'm not leaving without you Ooh-oh ooh-oh
Sit back down where you belong In the corner of my bar with your high heels on Sit back down on the couch where we made love for first time and you said to me
Something, something about this place Something ‘bout lonely nights and my lipstick on your face Something, something about my cool Nebraska guy Yeah something about Baby yoü and I
Yoü and I You, yoü and I You, yoü and I You, yoü and I, I Yoü and I You, yoü and I Oh yeah! I'd rather die Without yoü and I
C’mon! Put your drinks up!
We got a whole lot of money, but we still pay rent ‘Cause you can’t buy a house in Heaven There’s only three men that Imma serve my whole life It’s my daddy and Nebraska and Jesus Christ
Something, something about the chase Six whole years I'm a New York woman, born to run you down So have my lipstick all over your face Something, something about just knowing when it's right
So put your drinks up, for Nebraska For Nebraska, Nebraska, I love you
Yoü and I You, yoü and I Baby! I rather die! Without yoü and I
Yoü and I You, yoü and I Nebraska! I rather die Without yoü and I
It’s been a long time since I came around Been a long time but I’m back in town This time I’m not leaving without you.
