Annie, please

I think I know what is getting you down.
I think I know what is getting you down.
I think I know what is getting you down,
and it’s tearing me up.
And so it goes…
Annie, please.
You were always that sweetheart you wanted to be.
Cross your T’s and dot your I’s,
you were so studious indeed.
A homeschooled girl
too bad nobody taught you the dark side of the world.
So when you let go, you just went along with the flow.
I think I know what is getting you down.
I think I know what is getting you down.
I think I know what is getting you down,
and it’s tearing me up.
So it goes…
Annie crashed, chasing after all those boys she could not catch.
Got a rash that no matter what she could not seem to scratch.
Abstinence was a bit clique, her body wanted to play.
Annie, please.
You just got right down on your knees.
I think I know what is getting you down.
I think I know what is getting you down.
I think I know what is getting you down,
and it’s tearing me up.
She thought that love was like the sea,
that she wanted to swim in for eternity.
A siren at her door singing sailors to her shore.
She’ll synchronize her body to the beat.
I think I know what is getting you down.
I think I know what is getting you down.
I think I know what is getting you down,
and it’s tearing me up.
And so it goes…
Annie, please.
You were always that sweetheart that you wanted to be.
