| (Verse) | |
| I was 5 and he was 6 | |
| We rode on horses made of sticks | |
| He wore black and I wore white | |
| He would always win the fight | |
| (Chorus) | |
| Bang bang | |
| He shot me down | |
| Bang bang | |
| I hit the ground | |
| Bang bang | |
| That awful sound | |
| Bang bang | |
| My baby shot me down | |
| (Verse) | |
| Seasons came and change the time | |
| When I grew up I called him mine | |
| He would always laugh and say | |
| Remember when we used to play | |
| (Chorus) | |
| 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 | |
| (Bridge) | |
| Music played and people sang | |
| Just for me the church bells rang | |
| (Verse) | |
| Now he's gone I don't know why | |
| Until this day sometimes I cry | |
| He didn't even say goodbye | |
| He didn't take the time to lie | |
| (Chorus) | |
| Bang bang | |
| He shot me down | |
| Bang bang | |
| I hit the ground | |
| Bang bang | |
| That awful sound | |
| Bang bang | |
| My baby shot me down |
