Got a reason to live
Got a reason to fight
Got a hole from the give
Not ready to see the light
I know – he knows – I know
He's had some kind of master plan
It's not okay what he did
Not ok what he gave
When baby shot me down
He's got his new favorite girl
He shepherds her all around
She's the best thing in his world
But not okay in my town
He knows – I know – he knows
I got some cruel intentions for her
Guess when the cat's away
Every rat's gonna play
Like when baby shot me down
Ring, ring, ring, ring
Goes the barrel
Swing, swing, swing, swing
Goes the arrow
Pop, pop, pop, pop
Went the pistol
And that's the way
Baby shot me down
My baby, my baby
My baby shot me down
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
I came up from him behind
He turned around and was shocked
He swore he thought by this time
I'd be stuck under some rock
I know – he knows – I know
I got some master plan just for him
I figure he's got to pay
For his little soirée
Like when baby shot me down
Ring, ring, ring, ring
Goes the buzzer
Dang, dang, dang, dang
There goes another
Pop, pop, pop, pop
Goes the pistol
And that's the way
I shot my baby down
That's the way
I shot my baby down
That's the way
I shot my baby down
My baby, my baby
