Bang Bang

I was five and he was six

We road on horses made of sticks

He wore black and I wore white

He would always win the fight (bang bang)

He shot me down (bang bang)

I hit the ground (bang bang)

That awful sound (bang bang)

My baby shot me down

(My baby shot me down, my baby shot me down)

(My baby shot me down, my baby shot me down)

Seasons came and changed the time

When I grew up, I called him mine

He would always laugh and say:

"Remember when we use to play (bang bang)

I shot you down (bang bang)

You hit the ground (bang bang)

That awful sound (bang bang)

I use to shoot you down"

(My baby shot me down, my baby shot me down)

(My baby shot me down, my baby shot me down)

Music plays, our people say

Just for me the church bells rang

Now he's gone, I don't know why (don't know why)

Till this day I sometimes cry (sometimes cry)

He didn't even say goodbye

He didn't take the time to lie, bang bang

He shot me down, bang bang

I hit the ground, bang bang

That awful sound (bang bang)

My baby shot me down

(My baby shot me down, my baby shot me down)

(My baby shot me down, my baby shot me down)

(My baby shot me down, my baby shot me down)

(My baby shot me down, my baby shot me down)

(Bang bang) I shot you down, bang bang

You hit the ground, bang bang

That awful sound, bang bang

I use to shoot you down

(My baby shot me down, my baby shot me down)

(My baby shot me down, my baby shot me down)

(My baby shot me down, my baby shot me down)

(My baby shot me down, my baby shot me down)
