Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
You wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
[Verse 2]
Bang, bang, you shot me down
Bang, bang, you hit the ground
Bang, bang, that awful sound
My baby shot me down
[Verse 3]
Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
We would always laugh and say
Remember how we used to play
[Verse 4]
Bang, bang, you shot me down
Bang, bang, I hit the ground
Bang, bang, that awful sound
My baby shot me down
[Verse 5]
We used to play and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang
And now he's gone, I don't know why
Till this day I sometimes cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie
[Verse 6]
Bang, bang, he shot me down
Bang, bang, I hit the ground
Bang, bang, that awful sound
Yeah, bang, bang, bang, bang
[Verse 7]
My baby shot me down
