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 that could light up the room
And if she moved it'd be moving 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 telling her she was fine
And that's not right and its why I'm saying

Annie don't be shy here
Annie don't just lie there
Looks don't make the world go round
But it comes around
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 feeling alive
And made them moments of dying inside
She needed someone to scream her name
To take her pain and its why I'm screaming

Annie don't be shy here
Annie don't just lie there
Looks don't make the world go round
But it comes around
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
Annie don't be shy here
Annie please don't cry here
I always have to stop myself
Cause you're beautiful
