Shot You Down Lyrics

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

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

Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down

Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down

Down, down, d-down
My baby shot me down
My baby shot me down

Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down

Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down
Down, down, d-down

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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
