There was a girl named Annie

She had a very pretty face

And not the way you would think so

Let me see if I can try to explain it

She had a smile, it could light up a room

And if she moved, it'd be movin' in you

But she wasn't like a magazine

She was just plain Jane and her name was Annie

She never looked in the mirror

She never liked what she would see

And even if I tried to tell her

She never listened to a word I'd say

She always wanted what she never had

But never had what she needed so badly

Someone tellin' her she was fine

And that's not right and it's why I'm sayin'

Annie, don't be shy here

Annie, don't just lie there

Looks don't make the world go 'round

But it comes around

And Annie, don't be shy here

Annie, please don't cry here

I always have to stop myself

'Cause you're beautiful

I didn't know if I could tell her

I didn't know if I could make her see

She didn't need to find her beauty

She didn't need to find a way to show me

They took her moments of feelin' alive

And made them moments of dyin' inside

She needed someone to scream her name

To take her pain and it's why I screamin'

Annie, don't be shy here

Annie, don't just lie there

Looks don't make the world go 'round

But it comes around

And Annie, don't be shy here

Annie, please don't cry here

I always have to stop myself

'Cause you're beautiful

And Annie, you are the one sight

My eyes never tire of

It's like I cannot get enough of you

Annie, you are the one song left in my symphony

Like you were made for me

Annie, don't be shy here

Annie, don't just lie there

Looks don't make the world go 'round

But it comes around

And Annie, don't be shy here

Annie, please don't cry here

I always have to stop myself

'Cause you're beautiful

And Annie, don't be shy here

Annie, don't just lie there

Looks don't make the world go 'round

But it comes around

And Annie, don't be shy here

Annie, please don't cry here

I always have to stop myself

Have to stop myself, have to stop myself

'Cause you're beautiful

'Cause you're beautiful

'Cause you're beautiful
