Starin' out my window
Pistol in my palms
Tears soakin' my pillow
As I write this song
I caught my lady being untrue
Oh, what was I supposed to do, oh, no
I had to prove myself a man
'Cause clearly she don't think
I can, oh, no
Singin'?yes
I shot my baby down that day
Singin'?yes
That nigga too, he stole my place
(Shot down, shot down my baby,
I shot down)
I stepped inside the room
I still have dreams about it
What did I see?
His arms are wrapped around you
like he's been about it
I couldn't believe
Expression that I've never seen
you wear before
Clothes that I bought strewn
on the floor
Quietly I closed that bedroom door
Headеd downstairs
to the kitchen drawer
Singin'?yеs
I shot my baby down that day
(Shot down, shot down my baby,
I shot down)
Singin'?yes
That nigga too, he stole
my place, my place
(Shot down, shot down my baby,
I shot down)
(Shot down, shot down my baby,
I shot down)
(Shot down, shot down my baby,
I shot down)
Singin'?yes
I shot my baby down that day
Singin'?yes
That nigga too,
he stole my place, my place
(Shot down, shot down my baby,
I shot down)
(Shot down, shot down my baby,
I shot down)
