Annie Lyrics - Singles - Jonatha Brooke

Annie, I hope things line up for you 

All in a row, shiny and new 

You can't keep on living in one small room 

When you never let anyone in 

You never let anyone in 

And Annie, you think the whole world's been cruel 

All the stars took advantage of you 

Your mother was cold and your daddy'd no love 

So you stomped your feet till they noticed 

You stomped your feet till they put on the kid gloves 

Now they're walking on eggshells, they're walking on glass 

Sing hallelujah each time that you pass 

And someday you'll pick yourself up off your ass and go 

And Annie you think the boys never played fair 

Tripping you up, sticking gum in your hair 

Wherever you run, it's yourself you face there 

And he might be gone when you need him 

And he might be long gone when you find you care 

'Cause he's walking on eggshells, he's walking on glass 

He sings you a lullaby each time you ask 

And someday you'll pick yourself up off your ass and go 

And Annie, I love you, that's always been clear 

It's the layers of history that won't let us hear 

The twisted compassion that's burning our ears 

The distance from there to here 

The distance from there to here 

'Cause I'm walking on eggshells, I'm walking on glass 

We sing you a lullaby each time you ask 

And someday you'll pick yourself up off your ass and go 

'Cause you're gambling again and the stakes are too high 

Your ante is fear and my bet is desire 

Took you far from the truth and into the fire again 

And Annie, I hope things line up for you 

All in a row, shiny and new 

You can't keep on living in one small room 

When you never let anyone in 

You never let anyone in, you never let anyone in 

You never let anyone in
