Baby, you shot me down Baby, I hit the ground
Baby, that awful sound Baby, my baby shot me
Down
I was five and you were six We rode on horses made of sticks
I was black, you were 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 town 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, 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 bells rang
After echoes of a song We moved further with the wind
Now you're gone, I don't know why Sometimes I cry
You didn't say goodbye 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
Bang, bang, you shot me right into the eyes Bang, bang, you built your paradise
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 with me You'll see how sweet it's gonna be
Bang, bang, oh my baby, my baby shot me down
I'm up on the ground now Bang, bang
