Bang bang, you shot me down

Bang bang, I hit the ground

Bang bang, that awful sound

Bang bang, my baby shot me down



I was five and you were six

We rode on horses made of sticks

I wore black, you wore white

You would always win the fight



Bang bang, you shot me down

Bang bang, I hit the ground

Bang bang, that awful sound

Bang bang, my baby shot me down



Seasons came and changed the time

I grew up, I called you mine

You would always laugh and say

Remember when we used to play



Bang bang, you shot me down

Bang bang, I hit the ground

Bang bang, that awful sound

Bang bang, my baby shot me down



Music played and people sang

Just for me the church bells rang

After echoes from a gun

We both vowed that we'd be one

Now you're gone I don't know why

Sometimes I cry

You didn't say goodbye

You didn't take the time to lie



Bang bang, you shot me down

Bang bang, I hit the ground

Bang bang, that awful sound

Bang bang, my baby shot me down



And you shot me right

between the eyes

you meant to paralyze

bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, baby



I'm laying on the ground

I'll never come around

bang bang

oh baby, come on back to me

you'll see how sweet it's gonna be

bang bang
