2CELLOS and Sky Ferreira's version
[Verse 1]: 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 2]: Seasons came and change the time, When I grew up I called him mine. He would always laugh and sing, 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 3]: 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.
