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.

Seasons came and changed the time
When 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.

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

Now he's gone, I don't know why
And 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...

As far as the meaning...uh, did you read the lyrics? It's referring to her baby leaving her. Heartbreak.

Igor, why was it just an "ok song" for you?

Me  I loved it cause her smooth voice and the back ground!

Status: offline 		Why is it only an "okay" song for me?  I've never been a really big Cher fan (and as i mentioned, hers is the only version i've heard), and the words didn't carry any special meaning for me.  Cher HAS done a few songs that i really liked...this just wasn't one of them.  Just a personal taste thing i guess.

I feel the same way about those who have not seen The Big Lebowski.
