Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Bang bang beating my heart
And you will take it straight away
Bang bang love is a starter
And you light it everyday
[Pre-Chorus]
Me and you just a game baby
I can't stop loving you
Without you think to go crazy
I will live and die for you
[Chorus]
Bang bang darling
Set me free
My love will be a cold gun in your body
Bang bang darling
Straight to me I go down
I'm gonna fall to the ground
[Verse 2]
Bang bang love is a war
But I want fight it all the way
Bang bang open your door
I wanna hold you night and day

Trivia[]
- On the red and white die cut version of the vinyl single, what is supposedly the Mix Version is actually the I.S.D. Remix. Coincidentally, on the 1st edition of Super Eurobeat Vol. 91's 2nd disc, the opposite occurs, with what is supposedly the I.S.D. Remix being the normal Mix Version.
- On the red and white die cut version of the vinyl single, the acapella is missing, though the label states it is present.
