DThere was a girl named AnnieD, she had a very pretty face
GAnd not the way you would think so Glet me see if I can try to explain it
DShe had a smile it could light up the room Dand if she moved it'd be moving in you
GBut she wasn't like a magazine, she was Gjust plain jane and her name was 
DAnnie

DShe never looked in the mirrorA, Dshe never liked what she would sAee
GAnd even if I tried to tell heAr, Gshe never listened to a word I'd sAay
DShe always wanted what she never hAad, Dbut never had what she needed so baAdly
GSomeone telling her she was fAine Gand that's not right and it's wGhy I'm saying
