Baby, you shot me down. Baby, I hit the ground. Baby, that awful sound. Baby, my baby shot me down. I was five and you were six. We rode on horses made of sticks. I was black, you were white. You would always win the fight. Bang, bang, you 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 caught your mind. You 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 me, the church bells rang. As the echoes from above. Remember that we used to walk. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Now you're gone and I don't know why. Sometimes I cry. You didn't say goodbye. You didn't take the time to lie, baby. You shot me down, baby. And I hit the ground, baby. That awful sound, baby. Made me, my baby, shot me down, baby. You shot me right through the eyes, baby. You fell to the ground, baby, baby, baby. Oh, oh, baby, I'm laying on the ground. I'll never come around, baby, baby. Oh, baby, oh, baby, come on back to me. You see how sweet it's gonna be, baby. Baby. Oh, my baby. My baby shot me down. I'm up off the ground.
