Best answer

Cher

  • This was written by Cher's husband at the time, Sonny Bono.
  • In this song, Cher recalls playing childhood games with a boy when he would shoot her with his toy gun. They grow up together and get married but then he leaves her. She has again been shot down, but this time it's for real and she is devastated.
  • Cher re-recorded the song in 1987 on her self-titled album with Bon Jovi's Richie Sambora on guitar.
  • This was an international hit and Cher's biggest solo hit of the 1960s in the United States selling over 3 million copies.
