Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)

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 her, the church bells rang Now he's gone, I don't know why To this day, sometimes I cry He didn't even say goodbye He 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

Got a reason to live Got a reason to fight Got a hole from the give Not ready to see the light I know – he knows – I know He's had some kind of master plan It's not okay what he did Not ok what he gave When baby shot me down He's got his new favorite girl He shepherds her all around She's the best thing in his world But not okay in my town He knows – I know – he knows I got some cruel intentions for her Guess when the cat's away Every rat's gonna play Like when baby shot me down Ring, ring, ring, ring Goes the barrel Swing, swing, swing, swing Goes the arrow Pop, pop, pop, pop Went the pistol And that's the way Baby shot me down My baby, my baby My baby shot me down Baby, baby, baby Baby, baby, baby I came up from him behind He turned around and was shocked He swore he thought by this time I'd be stuck under some rock I know – he knows – I know I got some master plan just for him I figure he's got to pay For his little soirée Like when baby shot me down Ring, ring, ring, ring Goes the buzzer Dang, dang, dang, dang There goes another Pop, pop, pop, pop Goes the pistol And that's the way I shot my baby down That's the way I shot my baby down That's the way I shot my baby down My baby, my baby
