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, my place
(Shot down, shot down, my baby, I shot down)
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 thrown on the floor
Quietly I closed that bedroom door
Headed downstairs to the kitchen drawer
Singin' yes
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
(Shot down, shot down, my baby, I shot down) my place
(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)
