“Sweet mother, I cannot weave – slender Aphrodite has overcome me with longing for a girl.” - Sappho
F A# Dm C
I got a boy he treats me like gold
F A# F
Ain’t that all I need
And he says I’m the only girl in the world
Oh lucky me
Kind eyes and a smile so bright
And he loves me so
Doesn’t drink does smoke doesn’t fight
He likes to take it slow
F A Dm g7
But then Annie turns my world upside down
F c f
And gets me high
She’s a hurricane and I’m caught in the storm
And he’s just some guy
He’s got a job and a sensible car
Always top of his class
Saving up to buy a nice big house
Never misses mass
Mom and dad just love him to bits
Guess it’s kind of sweet
Comes over for dinner Sunday night
Always brings a treat
But I can’t get her out of my mind
She sets my heart ablaze
Annie please come save me from this town
I’m tired of living this way
Now I’ve got 3 kids and a yard
A diamond wedding ring
Now I wince and I grit my teeth
When he touches my skin
Picket fence and a big tree house
Separate beds
I don’t get much sleep at night
Annie’s still in my head
And I think of what we could’ve been
But I won’t kick up a fuss
Cause this town would simply kill us both
They don’t like folks like us
And I’m sorry for how it all went down
When you asked me to leave
And if I think too much about her now
I find it hard to breath
