Annie, Annie, they're playing our song And for a moment I'm transported to where I'm from Teenage lovers, when we were young All of the parties under the midnight sun That's when I met the love of my life He was a DJ and we danced all through the night Tell me, tell me, why did you go? I can still hear our songs on the radio Whatever happened to us all? Wherever I go, I'll recall All those summer days In our town down by the bay Oh Annie, close your eyes, pretend And then you're back there once again As the sun begins to fade And the band begins to play I let the music take me home To the streets where I belong Johnny, Johnny, playing guitar Travel the world, he always fell for the short-haired girls Left a loner, came back a star We used to see him playing live at the local bars The saddest story was the woman next door A beauty queen that met her end on a motel floor She used to tell me, "Annie, don't stay Go sing your songs, or if not you'll fade away" Whatever happened to them all? Wherever I go I'll recall All those friends we made In our town down by the bay Oh Annie, close your eyes, pretend And then you're back there once again As the sound begins to fade And the band begins to play I let the music take me home To the streets where I belong Take it away, Johnny Annie, Annie Annie, Annie Annie, Annie
