I was five and you were six, we rode on horses made of sticks
I wore black 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 I called you mine
You 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
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 I hit the ground bang bang
That awful sound bang bang my baby shot me down./
