I was five and you were six
We rode on horses made of sticks
I wore black and you wore white
You would always win the fight

Bang bang you shot me down
Bang bang I hit the ground
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang my baby shot me down

Seasons came and changed the time
I grew up and called you mine
You would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play

Bang bang you shot me down
Bang bang and I hit the ground
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang my baby shot me down

Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bell rang
After echoes from a gun
We both vowed that we'd be one
Now you're gone I don't know why
Sometimes I cry
You didn't say goodbye
You didn't take the time to lie

Bang bang you shot me down
Bang bang and I hit the ground
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang my baby shot me down

You shot me right between the eyes
You tend to paralyze
Bang bang bang bang bang
Oh, oh baby I'm laying on the ground
I'll never come around
Bang bang
Oh baby, oh baby come on back to me
You'll see how sweet it's gonna be
Bang bang
