| 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 |
