I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He 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
He 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

Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang

Now he's gone, I don't know why
And 'til 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

    1. This Song are originaly from Cher: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BangBang(My_Baby_Shot_Me_Down)

    2. Nancy sings is better in my ears. But ears are different dependig of the wearer

    3. EvolGRE is one of this people, who (as child) didn't watched Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck. Because there are deffinively no speaking Moces or Ducks. Also he ever confuse "art" with "fart"

    4. All of the meanings I heard here are very good but none of them satisfy me 100%. I think only Sonny Bono knew it, but he died 1998. Maybe someone should ask Cher.
