Annie - how long has life been beating you down? Annie - turned into a girl looking for a way out Annie - wanted to be loved like anybody else Annie - keeps slipping away I wish there were something to say to Annie Kind words or praise just a little too late for Annie - now those days are gone Annie - always looked like she was having fun Annie - Had so many problems that she kept from everyone What she needed more than anything else is what she never had Annie - I just don't understand
