I just want to wake your heart
But you go to sleep
And you break my heart:
Annabella ...
Where will you be
Who do you see
When you dream at night?
Could it be the other guy
Who had more than me
And was less than shy?
Annabella ...
You tease me all day
Please, may I say
That we're on tonight
In the morning
Things are working out fine
Come the evening
You refuse to be mine
But you stay
And you say
That I hope to find some love
But each girl I find
Will remind me of
Annabella ...
In the morning
You say "Wait til tonight"
Come the evening
You say "Now just ain't right":
No surprise ...
But I'm wise
I won't take another day
Or another night
Or another way
Annabella ...
REPEAT 6x, WITH FADE STARTING AT 4th REPEAT:
Annabella ...
