Bang bang, you shot me down
Now when you're gone I don't know why
I grew up, I called you mine
You would always win the fight
"Remember when we used to play"
Bang bang, I hit the ground
We rode on horses made of sticks
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
Music played and people sang
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang, and I hit the ground
Bang bang
I was five and you were six
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang, you shot me down
Bang bang
I wore black, you wore white
Bang bang and I hit the ground
We both vowed that we'd be one
You would always laugh and say
After echoes from a gun
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
Just for me the Church bells rang
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang
Bang bang, you shot me down
Didn't take the time to lie
Seasons came and changed the time
Sometimes I cry
You didn't say, "Goodbye"
Bang bang, baby my baby shot me down
