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
Bang, bang, he shot me down
Bang, bang, I hit the ground
Bang, bang, that awful sound
Bang, bang, my baby shot me down
Seasons came and change the time
When I grew up, I call him mine
He would always laugh and say
"Remember when we use to play"
Bang, bang, he shot me down
Bang, bang, you hit the ground
Bang, bang, that awful sound
Bang, bang, I used to shoot you down
Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells ring
After echoes from a gun
We both vowed that we'd be one
Bang, bang, he shot me down
Bang, bang, I hit the ground
Bang, bang, that awful sound
Bang, bang, my baby shot me down
He shot me down
He shot me... down
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
He shot me down
I hit the ground
That awful sound
My baby shot me down
He shot me down
I hit the ground
That awful sound
My baby shot me down
Shot me down
