Aaow!

Tcha!

Shoo-cha-choo-cha!

Tcha!

As he came into the window

Was a sound of a crescendo

He came into her apartment

He left the bloodstains on the carpet

She ran underneath the table

He could see she was unable

So she ran into the bedroom

She was struck down, it was your doom

Annie, are you okay?

So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?

Annie, are you okay?

So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?

Annie, are you okay?

So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?

Annie, are you okay?

So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?

Annie, are you okay?

Will you tell us that you're okay?

There's a sign at the window

Then he struck you, a crescendo, Annie

He came into your apartment

He left the bloodstains on the carpet

Then you ran into the bedroom

You were struck down, it was your doom

Annie, are you okay?

So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?

Annie, are you okay?

So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?

Annie, are you okay?

So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?

You've been hit by

You've been hit by

A smooth criminal

Aaow!

So they came into the outway

It was Sunday, what a black day

Every time I tried to find him

There were no clues, they’re behind him

And they end up never knowing

Who’s the suspect or what to expect

Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation

Sounding heartbeats, intimidations

Annie, are you okay?

So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?

Annie, are you okay?

So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?

Annie, are you okay?

So, Annie, are you okay? Annie, are you okay?

Annie, are you okay?

So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?

Annie, are you okay?

So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?

You've been hit by

You've been hit by

A smooth criminal

Aaow!

Annie, are you okay?

Will you tell us that you're okay?

There's a sound at the window

Then he struck you, a crescendo, Annie

He came into your apartment

Left the bloodstains on the carpet

And then you ran into the bedroom

You were struck down

It was your doom, Annie

Aaow!

Hoo!

Aaow!

Hoo!

Hoo!

Aaow!
