The Sonny & Cher Book

Bang Bang My Baby Shot Me Down

"Cher do you wanna look at the new song?" Sonny said.

"Sure." Cher said.

Cher scanned over Sonny's song lyrics. She thought they were amazing.

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

Cher was impressed at Sonny's talent. Sonny could write a song in a minute if you wanted. Cher loved being his partner.

Seasons came and changed the time

And 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

The song was violent in a playfully way. This was bound to be a hit. This will get stuck in everyone's heads.

Music played and people sang

Just for me the church bells rang

Now he's gone I don't know why

Until this days 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

"That was a beautiful song Sonny!" Cher hugged the songwriter.

"Thanks." Sonny smiled.

"Just curious did you write it about us?" Cher asked.

"Maybe...." Sonny smiled.
