[Eve:] Ay yo it all started with a simple conversation Everything was good until we had that altercation Screaming in my face he should have known I wouldn't take it Should have been long gone but the fighter in me faced it I tried to calm him down really, man, I tried to save him I even called his people like you better come and take him You better come and get him 'fore he ends up on a table Fighting for his life or his record with a label Never put his hands on me again man life gone And I never regret my whole life long Cause he did it to himself all the fault was his I don't feel bad that's just what it is Should have known better speaking to me like a kid Should have just let it go, would have let him live Ha ha would have let him live
[Rihanna:] Cause I didn't mean to hurt him Coulda been somebody's son And I took his heart when I pulled out that gun

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 they'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 Imma 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

Oh mama mama mama I just shot a man down In central station In front of a big old crowd Oh why oh why Oh mama mama mama I just shot a man down In central station
