I was five and she was six We rode on horses made of sticks I wore black and she wore white She would always win the fight Bang bang, she shot me down Bang bang, I hit the ground Bang bang, that awful sound Bang bang, my baby shot me down [instrumental] Seasons came and changed the time And we grew up, I called her mine She would always laugh and say "Remember when we used to play?" "Bang bang, I shot you 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 [instrumental] Now she's gone, I don't know why And till this day, sometimes I cry She didn't even say "goodbye" She didn't take the time to lie Bang bang, she shot me down Bang bang, I hit the ground Bang bang, that awful sound Bang bang, my baby shot me down
