Annie Mae Lyrics

Annie Mae lyrics

Written by Natalie Cole

 

 (Hoo, hoo, hoo) Mmm (hoo, hoo, hoo)

 

 Growing up wasn't easy for Annie Mae 

 

 (Hoo, hoo, hoo)

 

 A little girl in a great big world

 

 Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)

 

 No one knew about her past

 

 Some people swore she'd never last

 

 She was (growing up much too fast)

 

 Growing (hoo, hoo, hoo)

 

 Just a little too fast (hoo, hoo, hoo)

 

 Never had her a Mama, no, no

 

 Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)

 

 Rarely heard a kind spoken word

 

 Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)

 

 Looking at life through an empty shell

 

 And all the time she's catching hell

 

 She was growing 

 

 (Growing up much too fast) up much too fast 

 

 Does anybody know where is Annie Mae today

 

 Where oh where is Annie Mae

 

 All you got to do is look into the faces of 

 

 All the young girls

 

 On the avenue--(young girls!) 

 

 Oh, well, (hoo, hoo, hoo) ha

 

 In the night hear her cry, Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)

 

 Hurt and pain keeps coming again

 

 And again, and again, Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)

 

 Trippin' and runnin' is blowin' her mind

 

 Tryin' to decide if she'll make it this time

 

 She was (growing up) oh, yeah (much too fast)

 

 She was (growing up much too fast)

 

 Somebody got to stop her, oh Annie, Annie 

 

 (Ooh) (hoo, hoo, hoo) (where is Annie Mae) 

 

 Annie, Annie 

 

 Somebody 

 

 (Ooh) (hoo, hoo, hoo) (where is Annie Mae) 

 

 got to stop her, oh, Annie, Annie, 

 

 (Ooh) (hoo, hoo, hoo) (where is Annie Mae)

 

 Annie, Annie

 

 She's runnin', she's runnin'

 

 Growin' up too fast, oh, oh

 

 (She's running') oh, oh

 

 Growin' up too fast, oh, oh

 

 (She's runnin') oh, oh

 

 Growin' up too fast, oh, hey

 

 (She's runnin') Annie, Annie Mae, yeah

 

 (She's running) Where you goin' Annie

 

 (She's runnin') Don't you think somebody aught to stop you

 

 (She's runnin') Somebody aught to stop you

 

 (She's runnin') Don't you think I'm gonna try to stop you
