Annie Says
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Annie says I should do what she tells me
Annie tells me what to do
Annie says I should do what I'm told
And she’ll tell me what to do
Annie moves in mysterious ways
Annie says that she thinks I might be crazy
She might be right
Cause Annie says, I'm just a loony
Annie says I'm a fool
And I think the same about everyone else
That Annie just tells me about
Annie says that
Annie says, I'm a fool and I'm a loony
I believe it could be true
Annie says I'm stranger than crazy
I say: Annie you could be, too
It could happen to a bishop or a priest
Or any man that you see on the street
They could be crazy
Any woman or man you see
Any child, any star you find
Annie says: Any chance
Annie says: Any fortune
The luck of the draw, the sling of the dice
The lowest hand, the highest nose
Don’t think twice, ’cause Annie says
Johnny says, Annie’s all right
Johnny loves her all the time
Johnny says, Annie’s all right
Johnny loves her all the time
She’s got to be right
Annie, got to be right, Annie, got to be right
Annie, got to be right, Annie, got to be right
Annie says that I'm crazy
Annie knows I'm a lazy animal
Annie knows in her heart that I'm crazy
I tell you that it’s something spiritual
Annie’s right, I'm always wrong
Annie’s wrong, I'm always right
Annie’s right, and I'm always wrong
Annie’s wrong, and I'm always right
Annie says I should move like a winner
Annie says she’ll show me how
Annie says that I know how to pin her
I just have the don’t know smile
Little Johnny boy
Cause the don’t know smile
Oh little Johnny boy
Annie says
