(feat. Ricardo Ducent)
(Yo man) Yo
(Open up man) What do you want man?
(My girl just caught me) You let her catch you?
(I don't know how I let this happen) With who?
(The girl next door, you know?) Man...
(I don't know what to do) Say it wasn't you
(Alright)
Honey came in and she caught me red handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this we were both butt-naked
Bangin on the bathroom floor
How could I forget that I had
Given her an extra key
All this time she was standing there
She never took her eyes off me
How you can grant the woman access to your villa
Trespasser and a witness while you cling to your pillow
You better watch your back before she turn into a killer
Best for you and the situation not to call the beaner
To be a true player you have to know how to play
If she say you're not, convince her say you're gay
Never admit to a word when she say makes a claim
And you tell her baby no way
But she caught me on the counter
(It wasn't me)
Saw me bangin on the sofa
(It wasn't me)
I even had her in the shower
(It wasn't me)
She even caught me on camera
(It wasn't me)
She saw the marks on my shoulder
(It wasn't me)
Heard the words that I told her
(It wasn't me)
Heard the screams getting louder
(It wasn't me)
She stayed until it was over
Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this we were both butt-naked
Bangin on the bathroom floor
I had tried to keep her from what
She was about to see
Why should she believe me when I
Told her it wasn't me
Make sure she knows it's not you and lead her on da right prefix
Whenever you should see her make da giggolo flex
As funny as it be by you, it not that complex
Seein is believin so you better change your specs
You know she not gonna be worrying bout things from the past
Hardly recollecting and then she'll go to noontime mass
Wait for your answer: go over there
But if she pack a gun you know you better run fast
But she caught me on the counter
(It wasn't me)
Saw me banging on the sofa
(It wasn't me)
I even had her in the shower
(It wasn't me)
She even caught me on camera
(It wasn't me)
She saw the marks on my shoulder
(It wasn't me)
Heard the words that I told her
(It wasn't me)
Heard the screams getting louder
(It wasn't me)
She stayed until it was over
Honey came in and she caught me red handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this we were both butt-naked
Banging on the bathroom floor
How could I forget that I had
Given her an extra key
All this time she was standing there
She never took her eyes off me
Gonna tell her that I'm sorry
For the pain that I've caused
I've been listenin to your reasonin
It makes no sense at all
We should tell her that I'm sorry
For the pain that I've caused
You may think that you're a player
But you're completely lost
That's why I sing
Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this we were both butt-naked
Banging on the bathroom floor
How could I forget that I had
Given her an extra key
All this time she was standing there
She never took her eyes off me
It wasn't me who shamed you, it's not fair to say that
You wanted to work I gave you a chance at that
It wasn't me who hurt you, that's more credit that I'm worth
Don't threaten me with the things you'll do to you
It wasn't me who shamed you, it wasn't me who brought you down
You did it to yourself without any help from me
It wasn't me who hurt you, I showed you possibilities
The problems you had were there before you met me
I didn't say this had to be
You can't blame these things on me
It wasn't me, it wasn't me, it wasn't me
I know she's dead, it wasn't me
It wasn't me who changed you, you did it to yourself
I'm not an excuse for the hole you dropped in
I'm not simple minded but I'm not father to you at all
Death exists but you do things to yourself
I never said give up control
I never said stick a needle in your arm and die
It wasn't me, it wasn't me, it wasn't me
I know she's dead but it wasn't me
It wasn't me who shamed you, who covered you with mud
You did it to yourself without any help from me
You act as I could've told you or stopped you like some god
But people never listen and you know that that's a fact
I never said slit your wrists and die
I never said throw your life away
It wasn't me, it wasn't me, it wasn't me
(nick lowe/gypie mayo)
I stand accused of late night crime
She picked me out of an i.d. line
It wasn't me
No sir, it wasn't me
No matter what you say
I was miles away
It wasn't me
Things look bad
In our fast lane
The judge looks mad
But this is a frame
It wasn't me
No sir, it wasn't me
This is a real nightmare
Cause I was elsewhere
It wasn't me
Now I've been in trouble one time before
But why in hell they wanna nail me now
It wasn't me
No sir, it wasn't me
This time it ain't no use
I ain't got no proof
It wasn't me
This time it ain't no use
I ain't got no proof
It wasn't me
- guitar break -
She turn on the tears
She starts to cry
The jury
's out I'll say bye bye it wasn't me
No sir, it wasn't me
They think I'm tellin' lies I was a passerby
It wasn't me
Now I like to drink like anyone else
But I'm nearly sure it wasn't myself
It wasn't me
No sir, it wasn't me
It was a cold black night
And she wasn't my type
It wasn't me
It was a cold black night
And she wasn't my type

Ginuwine] Chorus X2
Your girlfriend's lyin' baby, it wasn't me
Your girl said I hit it baby, it wasn't me
Your girl wants to do it to me
She wants to give it to me
She will not stop until I let her come and do it to me
[Sole']
I need to ask you a question
This thing that I heard, it got me stressin'
I'm guessin' baby, comin' to you for your confession
If you did it, then you besta tell me, straight up
'cause what I heard completely overwhelmed me
Don't try to sell me, then compell me to be packin' and gone
Or better yet, I'll pack you up before the end of the song
But if I'm wrong, then my complete apology, you will see
This can not happen, now you know that I don't wanna believe
That you would be forever lettin' other women recieve
The love you give me everyday, I find it hard to concieve
But if it's true, then I'mma have to tell you this is the end
I'll ask you once, not again
Was you fuckin' my friend?
Tell me now
Chorus X2
[Sole']
Now let me tell you what she told me
She said that you was fake and phony
Fuckin' my homie, actin' like you don't even know me
Sayin' time and time again that you was leavin' me lonely
Ridin' my pony, Angie and this chick named Romie
Tellin' me the way you hit it when I left for the Keys
Talkin' 'bout the carpet burnin', she recieved to the knees
The multiple orgasms, with the greatest of ease
And overly the way you had her screamin', beggin' you please
And she was trouble from the start when I met her one night
If I leave, "Dear John" will be the letter you find
If you want her, you can have her, it ain't wetter than mine
It be another man's gain, it ain't better than mine
Now tell me
Chorus X2
[Sole']
I know she lies, but the details was all too clear
And I know better than to run with everything that I hear
Trust was never a problem for us, it was perfectly clear
It's been like happy ever after for the past 2 years
I know she wants you though, she said it on the night that we met
Now she takin' drastic measures, tryin' to see if she get
She fightin' in a battle that she know she never could win
Step it down to a 6 when you workin' with 10
Wanna walk in my heals?
Wanna walk with my deals?
Wanna know how it feel?
I'm just bein' for real
I take your word for it this time, I'm stayin' with you
Make sure it never happen, I ain't playin' with you
Now tell me
Yo man
Open up man
What do you want man?
My girl just caught me
You let her catch you?
I don't know how I let this happen
With who?
The girl next door, you know?
I don't know what to do
Say it wasn't you
Alright
Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this we were both butt-naked
Banging on the bathroom floor
How could I forget

Words and music: Lou Reed & John Cale
It wasn't me who shamed you, it's not fair to say that
You wanted to work I gave you a chance at that
It wasn't me who hurt you, that's more credit that I'm worth
Don't threaten me with the things you'll do to you
It wasn't me who shamed you, it wasn't me who brought you down
You did it to yourself without any help from me
It wasn't me who hurt you, I showed you possibilities

It wasn't me who changed you, you did it to yourself
I'm not an excuse for the hole you dropped in
I'm not simple minded but I'm not father to you at all
Death exists but you do things to yourself
I never said give up control
I never said stick a needle in your arm and die
It wasn't , it wasn't me, it wasn't me
I know she's dead but it wasn't me
It wasn't me who shamed you, who covered you with mud
You did it to yourself without any help from me
You act as I could've told you or stopped you like some god
But people never listen and you know that that's a fact
I never said slit your wrists and die
I never said throw your life away
It wasn't , it wasn't me, it wasn't me
You're killing yourself - you can't blame me
Honey came in and he caught me red-handed
Laying on the bathroom floor
Picture this we were both butt-naked
Banging on the bathroom floor
How could I forget
That I had given him the extra key
All this time he was standing there
He never took his eyes off me
It wasn't me
It wasn't me
Can you tell me how you feel
When you turn on your tv
When you see me singing through my tears
I've saved up all these years
Can you tell me what you see
When you read the magazines
Do you see yourself in me
When you read the magazines
When the DJ plays this song
Can you tell me what you hear
And I hope feel the way we felt
When you put us all through hell
Can you tell me how you feel now
How do you feel, how do you feel
Tell me how you sleep at night
Do you take those pills like me
Or do you toss and turn and lay your head on the pillow
and fall asleep cause you just don't care, how do you feel
And now I'm in your face
And you feel that empty space
Why did we how did we come to fall from grace
Falling, falling
Didn't you just hear us calling out
No there's nothing left to say
Cause you shouldn't have stayed away
No man leaves his flesh and blood this way
And I hope feel the way we felt
When you put us all through hell
Can you tell me how you feel now
How do you feel, how do you feel
Tell me how you sleep at night
Do you take those pills like me
Or do you toss and turn and lay your head on the pillow
and fall asleep cause you just don't care, how do you feel
It took a crowd for me to see
That it really wasn't me
The swaying crowd is the cleansing rain
It took the pain away
And I hope you'll find yourself alone
In a million dollar home
You will be stuck
With a heart like a rock
I hope your run out of luck fool
How do you feel now
Does it hurt, does it hurt
How do you feel now
It wasn't me who wrote the epitaph
I only burned the old girl's photograph
And threw the kitten in the fire, see
You ask me your father he'll remember mee
It was so fantastic, he burned like a matchstick
You know I'm sorry for what I've done
I wasn't me who wrote to Gideon
I only ate the homing pigeon
And ordered taxis in the early hours
And sent a wreath of withered flowers
I broke both her heels, that was quite a deal
I've said I'm sorry for having fun
Chorus: Now you say I'm responsible for killing them
I say it was god - He was willing them
It wasn't me who lit the kerosene
I only polished the floor with vaseline
And asked the doctor not to come around
And hid her savings in the lost and found
It was all electric when her cuts went septic
I then apologized again
It wasn't only me who blew their brains
I certainly admit to putting chains
Around their necks so they couldn't move
But there were others being quite crude
That was quite a gang waiting for the bang
I only take the blame for lighting the fuse
Chorus: Now you say I'm responsible for killing them
I say it was god - He was willing them
It wasn't me who put your Ma away
It wasn't me who put your Pa away
It wasn't me who stole their plastic teeth
It wasn't me who caused this awful grief
I did it all in jest, this I must confess
Anything i did was for the best
Chorus: Now you say I'm responsible for killing them

It wasnæ° me, Boss, it wasnæ° me, it wasnæ° me.
It must have been some other body, uh uh, Boss, it wasnæ° me.
You say you saw my car parked in the drive in one night;
Came over to speak to me, I was out of sight
I wasnæ° me, baby, uh uh, baby, it wasnæ° me

You can tell her I can do better than that
She should point her finger at someone else
I respect my friends and I respect myself
I'm sick and tired
Of hearing her spread those vicious lies
Well it comes as no surprise
That she'd be wasting all your time
She should give it up, find another to blame
And stop messing with my good name
It wasn't me, naturally
Must be a case of mistaken identity
It wasn't me, obviously
I'm innocent till proven guilty
Na na,na,na,na,na
Na,na,na,na,na,na
Did she detect he smelled of strange perfume
Did she find a love note somewhere in his room
Did she hear him talk about me in his sleep
That girl's got a problem, she's in way too deep
Was the lipstick on his shirt what gave that man away
Well, red hot masquerade, it was never my shade
She should give him up, and get over herself
And stop blaming everyone else:
It wasn't me, naturally
Must be a case of mistaken identity

And it doesn't count cause I don't care
The years transform my memories
Of all the countless decades of grief
It was cut and run in '91
Put yourselves in a straightjacket
But when you're pleading
Saying it's no cheaper than humiliation
That's free...
That's free...
That's free...
I've gone and quit my worshipping
Of the false gods and golden sins
Cause we've made love in the Tower of Babel and it fell down
It wasn't me, I wasn't there
That was not my love affair
That is not my lover, that's not even my friend
It wasn't me, I wasn't there
I was stone drunk, it isn't clear
And it doesn't count cause I don't care
But I use a pop song to clear my name
Under the bridges of fame it's always nighttime
Well he was cold, tired, and hungry
Came a beggin' for bread
The lady took him in and fed him breakfast in bed
It wasn't me
No no baby it wasn't me
Ah, that must have been some other body,
No, no child it wasn't me
Well, there's a cool, young whipper snapper
Loves to run and play
But the draft board got him they inducted him today
It wasn't me
No no baby it wasn't me
Yeah, you must've met some other body,
No, no child it wasn't me
Callin' out for volunteers on the front row
Lieutenant said which one of ya'll will volunteer to go
It wasn't me
Woo, it wasn't me
Yeah that must've been some other body,
No, no child it wasn't me
Wailin' down the freeway
adjust the cruisin' power
The state trooper clocked me at ninety miles an hour
It wasn't me
No no sheriff it wasn't me
Well you must have met some other body,
No, no it wasn't me
Well you say you saw my car parked
By the drive-in one night
Came over to speak to me but I was outta sight
It wasn't me
No no baby it wasn't me
That must've been some other body,
No, no child it wasn't me
I met a German girl in England
Who was goin' to school in France
Said we danced the Mississippi at an Alpha Cappa dance
It wasn't me
Woo, it wasn't me
Yeah, you must've met some other body,
[Intro:]
Uh, about to tell you who I are
Came a long way and I still got so far to go
Tee off with this trademark flow
And after tonight
I'm a let the whole world know
My name is Evidence
[Hook:]
You ain't got no
Evidence, evidence, evidence, evidence
[Verse 1:]
If this is crime scene cinema
All the weak shops closed
Is it back to charging motherfuckers 4 for an O?
I don't know
I keep a rotary phone
So I remember all the numbers of my homies who gone
Proof is in the pudding
I'm pressed up and labeled "evidence"
But never chasing fame, dragons, chicks, or dead presidents
Dreams, but never snatch chains of any measurements
Because of my name, for every fuckin' crime they find the relevance
Choices in my life that I want to correct
I got voices in my head that I want to forget
Uh and I don't live with regret
But I've been living with a chick while other chicks try to text
It wasn't me
[Hook:]
You ain't got no
Evidence (There's no proof without the)
Evidence (Who wants truth without the)
Evidence, evidence
[Verse 2:]
Yeah, my first album only had underground appearances
So what's the outcome?
I'm still an underground lyricist
And fame don't even capture what my interest is
I'm halfway to famous, halfway away from infamous
My naked eyes are like my memory chips
Everything digested comes up when I spit
I say so be it
Without a whistle, call it how I see it (Yeah)
Whether in my boundaries or in another region
I'm speeding on the highway with my girl shotty
Keep a plant in my car, like Good Friday
Keep my world Godly
I stay grounded like my lobby
Tag a bucket on the wall but never tatted on my body
My music and my graf are livin' separate lifes
One gets me paid, the other's payin' the price
Either way they'll say I'm spraying at night
But how the fuck, when I'm touring overseas on a flight
It wasn't me
[Hook]
[Verse 3:]
The flow's connected like I knew people
Director of photography, I shoot people
Named by Will.I.Am
Maybe made a milli, maybe I don't give a damn (True)
I thought of evident
I mispronounced it, Evidence
Fast forward, here we are, standing in the present tense
I never thought about fame
I just thought about if KRS would know my name
But since then it's like so much has changed
Body baggin' the shows, they say I'm killing the stage
It wasn't me
