## Lyrics

I shot him down down down down down down down down

I shot him down down down down down down down down

I shot him down down down down down down down down

I shot him down down down down down down down down

I shot him down down down down down down down down

I shot him down down down down down down down down

I shot him down down down down down down down down

I shot him down down down down down down down down

I shot him down down down down down down down down

I shot him down down down down down down down down

I pulled the trigger on our love

Keep messing me around

Got my finger on the gun

Bang bang I shot you down

I pulled the trigger on our love

Keep messing me around

Got my finger on the gun

Bang bang I shot you down

I pulled the trigger on our love

Keep messing me around

Got my finger on the gun

Bang bang I shot you down

I pulled the trigger on our love

Keep messing me around

Got my finger on the gun

Bang bang I shot you down

I pulled the trigger on our love

Keep messing me around

Got my finger on the gun

Bang bang I shot you down

I pulled the trigger on our love

Keep messing me around

Got my finger on the gun

Bang bang I shot you down

Left, right

Left, right

Left, right

Left, right

I think about it everyday

I shouldn't have hurt you that way

But it’s a little late to say

That I can erase your heartache

Thinking about it

Thinking about it

Thinking about it

Oooooh baby

Thinking about it

Thinking about it

Thinking about it

Oooooh baby

Thinking about it

Thinking about it

Thinking about it

Oooooh baby

Thinking about it

Thinking about it

Thinking about it

Oooooh baby

I pulled the trigger on our love

Keep messing me around

Got my finger on the gun

Bang bang I shot you down

I pulled the trigger on our love

Keep messing me around

Got my finger on the gun

Bang bang I shot you down

I pulled the trigger on our love

Keep messing me around

Got my finger on the gun

Bang bang I shot you down

I pulled the trigger on our love

Keep messing me around

Got my finger on the gun

Bang bang I shot you down

I pulled the trigger on our love

Keep messing me around

Got my finger on the gun

Bang bang I shot you down
