[Verse 1]
I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
[Chorus 1]
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
[Verse 2]
Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play
[Chorus 2]
Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
I used to shoot you down
[Bridge]
Music played and people sang
Not for me not church bells ring
[Verse 3]
Now he's gone I don't know why
Until this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie
[Chorus 3]
Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, he hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
My baby shot me down
I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
[Chorus 1]
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
[Verse 2]
Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play
[Chorus 2]
Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
I used to shoot you down
[Bridge]
Music played and people sang
Not for me not church bells ring
[Verse 3]
Now he's gone I don't know why
Until this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie
[Chorus 3]
Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, he hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
My baby shot me down
