Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)

Stevie Wonder · Down to Earth [1966]

She was five and I was six

We rode on horses made of sticks

I wore black and she wore white

She would always win the fight



Bang, bang, she 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 her mine

She would always laugh and say

Remember when we used to play



Bang, bang, I shot you down

Bang, bang, you hit the ground

Bang, bang, that awful sound

Bang, bang, I used to shoot you down



The music played and people sang

And just for me the church bells rang



Hey, bang, bang, bang, bang

Hey, bang, bang, bang, bang

Hey, bang, bang, bang, bang

Yeah, bang, bang, bang, bang



Now she's gone, I don't know why

Till this day sometimes I cry

She didn't even say goodbye

She didn't take the time to lie



Bang, bang, she shot me down

Bang, bang, I hit the ground

Bang, bang, that awful sound

Bang, bang, my baby shot me down
