[Intro]
Ow
Cha
Shoo-ca, choo-ca
(Oh no)
[Verse 1]
As he came into the window, was a sound of a crescendo
He came into her apartment, left the bloodstains on the carpet
She was sitting at the table, you could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom, she was struck down, it was her doom
[Refrain]
Annie, are you okay? You okay? You okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay? You okay? You okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay? You okay? You okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay? You okay? You okay, Annie?
[Chorus]
Annie, are you okay? Would you tell us that you're okay?
And there's a sign at the window, that 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
[Refrain]
Annie, are you okay? You okay? You okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay? You okay? You okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay? You okay? You okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay? You okay? You okay, Annie?
You've been hit by, you've been struck by a smooth criminal (Ow)
[Verse 2]
So they came into the outway, it was Sunday, but a black day
I could make a salutation, sounding heartbeat, intimidation
[Refrain]
Annie, are you okay? You okay? You okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay? You okay? You okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay? You okay? You okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay? You okay? You okay, Annie?
[Chorus]
Annie, are you okay? Would you tell us that you're okay?
And there's a sign at the window, that 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
[Refrain]
Annie, are you okay? You okay? You okay, Annie?
You've been hit by, you've been struck by a smooth criminal (Ow)
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Annie, are you okay? (Oh no)
Would you tell us that you're okay (Oh no)
And there's a sign at the window (Oh no)
That he struck you (Oh no)
A crescendo, Annie (Oh no)
He came into your apartment (Oh no)
Left the bloodstains on the carpet (Oh no)
And then you ran into the bedroom (Oh no)
You were struck down, it was your doom
[Refrain]
Annie, are you okay? You okay? You okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay? You okay? You okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay? You okay? You okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay? You okay? You okay, Annie?
