It Wasn´t Me
Shaggy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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 a night, convince her say a day
Never admit to a word when she say and if she claims
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 scream get 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
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 the right prefix
Whenever you should see her make the giggolo flex
As funny as it be by you, it not that complex
Seeing is believing 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 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 scream get 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 listening to your reasoning
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

Overall Meaning

The song 'It Wasn't Me' by Shaggy featuring Ricardo 'RikRok' Ducent is a tale of infidelity, deception, and failed excuses. The song opens with the singer getting caught red-handed by his partner, who unexpectedly walks in on him having sex with their next-door neighbor. Despite being caught in the act and having no way to deny his wrongdoings, the singer comes up with ridiculous excuses to defend himself.


In the following verses, he explains that if a man wants to be a player, he must know how to play, including convincing his partner that night is day and never admitting to any wrongdoing. However, he still gets caught on camera, in the shower, on the sofa, and even has marks on his shoulder. Nevertheless, he tells her it wasn't him and even advises her to change her glasses.


The song ends with the singer apologizing to his partner for the pain he caused, admitting that he was wrong and listening to her reasoning before agreeing to say sorry. However, the song implies that the relationship has irreparably damaged due to his infidelity and excuses.


Overall, the song may be seen as a critique of deceptive behavior in relationships, as the singer's attempts to deceive only caused more pain and led to the eventual end of the relationship.

@@elistari1050 the whole point of the song. It mocks him, this comment point it out, he is caught on camera and still is told to deny. He tells shaggy what is up latter on “ Gonna tell her that I'm sorry

You may think that you're a player
But you're completely lost”
