Bang Bang from Retro-Moderne by Lily Frost

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 daddy shot me down

Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up I made him mine
He would always laugh and say
Remember when I used to play

Bang Bang
I shot you down
Bang Bang
Ya hit the ground
Bang bang
That awful sound
Bang Bang
My daddy shot me down

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

Now he’s gone I don’t know why
Till 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
