Bang Bang
Cher · Cher
You shot me down
(Bang bang!)
I hit the ground
(Bang bang!)
That awful sound
Bang bang!
my baby shot me down
I was five and you was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
I wore black you wore white
You would always win the fight
Bang bang!
You shoot me down
Bang bang!
I hit the ground
Bang bang!
that awful sound
Bang bang!
my baby shoot 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!
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 from a gun
We both vowed that we'd be one
(Bang bang!) (4x)
Now you're gone I don't know why
Sometimes I cry
You didn't say good bye
You 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!)
Bang bang! my baby shot me down
You shot me right between the eyes
You meant to paralyze
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
Oh oh baby, I'm laying on the ground
I ain't never come around
Bang, bang oh baby, oh baby
Come on back to me
You'll see how sweet it's gonna be
Bang, Bang
Bang Bang
