Annie, I things line up for you All in a row, and new You can't keep on living in one room When you let anyone in You let anyone in
And Annie, you think the whole world's been All the took advantage of you Your mother was and your daddy'd no love So you stomped your feet till noticed You stomped feet till they put on the kid gloves
Now they're walking on eggshells, walking on glass Sing hallelujah time that you pass And someday you'll yourself up off your ass and go
And Annie you think the boys played fair you up, sticking gum in your hair Wherever you run, it's yourself you face And he be gone when you need him And he be long gone when you find you care
'Cause he's walking on eggshells, he's on glass He sings you a lullaby time you ask And someday you'll pick up off your ass and go
And Annie, I love you, that's always been It's the layers of history won't let us hear The twisted compassion burning our ears The distance there to here The distance there to here
I'm walking on eggshells, I'm walking on glass We sing you a each time you ask And someday you'll pick up off your ass and go
'Cause you're gambling again and the stakes are too ante is fear and my bet is desire Took you far the truth and into the fire again
And Annie, I hope things up for you All in a row, and new You can't on living in one small room When you never let in You let anyone in, you never let anyone in You never let in
