about

I didn't know Ben Folds had a song with the same name until I wrote this one. hehe :)

lyrics

Annie's got a lot on her mind,
wondering' which man she'll take home this time.
The color of her eyes make it worse,
a heat seeking missile wearing a skirt.
Call her a liar, a cheater, you can't wait to meet her,
she'll say anything to get into bed.
Quite the deceiver, we should not believe her,
this jezebel could get stuck in your head.


Annie waits a flawless man,
throwing herself at every contender.
Refusing any fault to her plan,
finding out who's real and who's a pretender.


Cold nights are in store for her,
if she keeps this up I bet.
How could you spend your years without initiative to grow up?


'Cause the moment you fall for her,
is the second she slips back on her shirt.
You're a fool to think you ever had a chance,
oh Annie you're a piece of…


Annie tries to beat space and time.
Multiple courtships slipped in lies.
The color of her eyes make it worth,
being used up for a night then thrown back down the drain.


Cold nights, with a perfect plan but no perfect man,
hey girl, ever thought of skipping town?


The moment I fell for her,
was the second she slipped back on her shirt.
I'm a fool to think I ever had a chance,
oh Annie you're a piece of work.
It's foolish, no, it's naive, to think perfection will fall to you at your knees.
So why should she deserve, a perfect guy for a twisted girl?


Annie's got a lot on her mind,
waiting for the one she'll never find.
Blessings come to you when you're blind,
so don't antagonize Annie, you'll be fine.
