Annie Songtext
von Golden Earring

Annie had a bad dream
Gets a glass of water
Listens to the rain
Bather in the gutter
Lights herself a cigarette
She′s trying to remember
There's nothing but darkness and sound
Sound of stormy weather around her

Look at her
She so pretty
Really, really pretty
When the lightning flashes right by, all across her face

Say ah, I got to take her out tonight
I got to make her laugh
I got to crack that smile
Ah, I got to take her out tonight
Try to make her laugh
I got to make it work while


Any time today
Any time, for keeps, let′s say
Any time today
Any time, for keeps, let's say
Any time today
Any time, for keeps, let's say
Any time today
Any time, for keeps

Annie in front of a mirror
Staring at herself, while she′s trying out the colors
Blue and red and all the others
The black dress don′t fit her
And the white dress don't flatter
Annie cannot make her mind up, anymore
Shining tear in her eyes
Tiny tear in her eye
Annie′s scared and she don't know why

Ah. I got to take her out tonight
I got to make her laugh
I got to crack that smile
Ah, I got to take her out tonight
Try to make her laugh
Try to make it work while


Any time today
Any time, for keeps, let′s say
Any time today
Any time, for keeps, let's say
Any time today
Any time, for keeps, let′s say
Any time today
Any time, for keeps

Ah, I got to take her out tonight
I got to make her laugh
I got to crack that smile
Ah, I got to take her out tonight
Try to make her laugh
Try to make it work while

Any time today
Any time, for keeps, let's say
Any time today
Any time, for keeps, let's say
Any time today
Any time, for keeps, let′s say
Any time today
Any time, for keeps, let′s say
Yeah, both keeps
Yeah
