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