Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wow, this ain't the right thing to do
So, so let's, let's go
[Verse 2]
Young girls know what they're after
Young girls, don't kiss me goodbye
Rockets shootin' up into space
Buildings, they rise to the skies
[Verse 3]
Bang bang, I got mine
Bang bang, reach for the sky
[Verse 4]
I keep a good friend on videotape
He'll drive his sports car until it's too late
But we'll have a hot time on the town tonight
'Cause love is my bet and it's the best yet
[Verse 5]
Bang bang, I got mine
Bang bang, sun don't shine
Bang bang, you all angels
Bang bang, now you all ought to be in pictures
[Verse 6]
Oh, girl, oh, girl, my problems can't follow me
Phone calls I take my machine
I wander lonely to the sea
Lonely, ha-ha-ha, what does it mean?
[Verse 7]
Bang bang, I got mine
Bang bang, and you are next in line
Bang bang, reach for the sky
Bang bang, sun don't shine
[Verse 8]
Rise, buildings
Rise to the sky
Whoa, young girls, they know what they're after
I said, young girls, don't kiss me goodbye
[Verse 9]
Bang bang, the nation calls and you raise them
And you a big man
Bang bang, spot a break
Just come in first
Bang bang
Yes, it is
Bang bang
And you are next in line
