Annie Mae
(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)

Somebody got to stop her, oh annie, annie

Somebody

Got to stop her, oh, annie, annie,
Ooh hoo, hoo, hoo where is annie mae

Growin' up too fast, oh, oh

Growin' up too fast, oh, oh

Growin' up too fast, oh, hey
