I was 5 and he was 6
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight

(Chorus)
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)
Seasons came and change the time
When I grew up I called mine
He would always laugh and sing
Remember when we used to play

(Chorus)
Bang bang
I shot me down
Bang bang
You hit the ground
Bang bang
That awful sound
Bang bang
I used to shoot you down

(Bridge)
Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang

(Verse)
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)
Bang bang
He shot me down
Bang bang
I hit the ground
Bang bang
That awful sound
Bang bang
My baby shot me down
