Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Yo)
Open up, man
(Yeah, 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?)
Man, I don't know what to do
(Say it wasn't you)
Alright
Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creepin' 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 yuh fi give the woman access to your villa?
Trespasser and a witness all the hacklin' a yuh pillow
You better watch your back before she turn into a killer
Let's review the situation that you're caught up inna
To be a true player, yuh haffi know how fi play
If she say, "A night," convince her say, "A day"
Never admit to a word when she say
And if she claims ah yuh, 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 get louder (it wasn't me)
She stayed until it was over
Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creepin' 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 she know say that she really no have right fi vex
A never you she see yah make the gigolo flex
A smaddy else a favor you inna di complex
Seein' is believin', so you better change your specs
You know she a go bring a whole heap a things up from the past
All the likkle evidence, yuh better know fi mask
Quick pon yuh answer, know how fi talk
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 screams get louder (it wasn't me)
She stayed until it was over
Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creepin' 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
Wanna 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
Need to 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
Creepin' 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
The lyrics to Shaggy & RikRok's song "It Wasn't Me" tell the story of a man who has been caught cheating by his girlfriend with the girl next door. Despite being caught in the act several times, the man insists on denying that it was him until the very end. The lyrics suggest that the only way to be a "true player" is to know how to manipulate the situation by convincing the girlfriend that she didn't see what she saw. Throughout the song, the man is in disbelief that the girlfriend caught him and is dead set on convincing her that it wasn't him.
The song's lyrics also contain a cautionary tale, warning men to watch their backs and be careful who they allow into their homes. The lyrics suggest that sometimes people we think we know can turn into killers, adding to the level of danger in the situation.
Overall, the song provides commentary on relationship problems, infidelity, and the consequences that can come from not being truthful with your partner. The lyrics expose the lies people tell and the lengths they will go to avoid being truthful about their mistakes.

The girl next door, ya know?

(Deny it!)
Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
My girlfriend caught me in the act
Creepin' with the girl next door
I was cheating on her with the neighbor
Picture this, we were both butt naked
We were undressed
Bangin' on the bathroom floor
We were having sex on the bathroom floor
How could I forget that I had
I can't believe I forgot that I gave her
Given her an extra key
A spare key to my place
All this time she was standing there
She had been watching the whole time
She never took her eyes off me
She was staring at me the entire time
You better watch your back before she turn into a killer
Be careful before she becomes violent
Let's review the situation that you're caught up inna
Let's take a closer look at what happened
To be a true player, yuh haffi know how fi play
To be a successful player, you need to know how to handle yourself
If she say, "A night," convince her say, "A day"
If she says it happened at night, convince her it was during the day
Never admit to a word when she say
Don't admit to anything she says
And if she claims ah yuh, tell her, "Baby, no way"
And if she accuses you, tell her it wasn't you
Make she know say that she really no have right fi vex
Let her know she doesn't have reason to be angry
A never you she see yah make the gigolo flex
It wasn't you she saw doing the gigolo's moves
A smaddy else a favor you inna di complex
It was someone else she saw with the other woman
Quick pon yuh answer, know how fi talk
Think quickly about how to respond and speak to her
But if she pack a gun, you know you better run fast
But if she has a gun, you better run
Wanna tell her that I'm sorry
I want to apologize to her
For the pain that I've caused
For hurting her
I've been listenin' to your reasonin'
I hear what you're saying
It makes no sense at all
But it doesn't really make sense
You may think that you're a player
You may think you're good with women
But you're completely lost
But you're completely clueless
