Annie May

[Intro: Tony! Toni! Toné!]
Dah-dah-dah, dah-dah
Dah-dah-dah, dah-dah
Dah-dah-dah-dah, dah-dah, dah-dah-dah
Dah-dah-dah, dah-dah
Dah-dah-dah, dah-dah
Dah-dah-dah-dah, dah-dah, dah-dah-dah-dah-dah

[Verse 1: D'Wayne Wiggins]
Party people on the left...party people on the right
Everybody in the house, let's live it up tonight
Party people on the left...party people on the right
Everybody in the house...
One thing about Annie, she always wanted to spend
But she never wore panties
I had to keep the fellas in check
But you had to have money
Now ain't a damn thing funny
I'm talkin' 'bout Annie, Annie, Annie
Big baller on the East Coast, got a wad and a whole lotta cash
High roller on the Westside, got enough for a private bash
For the almighty dollar, Annie May'll make you holler
Well, alright
Hey, hey, Annie May, you know...

[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, D'Wayne Wiggins]
Annie May's gotta make up her mind (Tell me now)
Is it a girl or is it a guy? (I don't know)
Let your hair hang down (Annie May)

[scatting]

[Verse 2: D'Wayne Wiggins, Tony! Toni! Toné!]
The girl had a lot of knowledge, and she had big dreams of one day
Graduating from college, stepping off with a Master's degree
But she had to pay bills, y'all, so she had to get pills, y'all
Sweet Annie May, I wanna say, hey
She was daddy's little girl (Annie), would give her anything and he tried
But she had to have her own (Annie May), so she took another job on the slide
Making more than the average (Annie), 'cause she had to live lavish (Annie May)
Sweet Annie May (Annie), hey, wanna say, take it away (Annie May)

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: Tony! Toni! Toné!, D'Wayne Wiggins]
Dah-dah-dah, dah-dah
Dah-dah-dah, dah-dah
Dah-dah-dah-dah, dah-dah, dah-dah-dah-dah-dah
Sweet, sweet Annie May

[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!, D'Wayne Wiggins, Raphael Saadiq]
Annie May's gotta make up her mind (Tell me now)
Is it a girl or is it a guy? (I don't know, oh)
Let your hair hang down
(Let your hair hang down)
(Go on and let your hair hang down
And throw your hands in the air, come on)
(Annie May)
Annie May's gotta make up her mind
(Party people on the left...party people on the right)
(Gotta make up your mind)
But all she wants is to have a good time
(Everybody in the house, just live it up tonight)
(All she wants, all she wants is to have a good time)
Let your hair hang down
(Party people on the left...party people on the right)
(Let your hair hang down)
(Everybody in the house, live it up tonight)
(Annie May, Annie May, Annie May)
Annie May's...
Is it a girl or...
Let your hair hang down, oh
Annie May's gotta make up her mind
(You gotta make up your mind)
But all she wants is to have a good time
(All you want, all you want is to have a good time, Annie May)
Let your hair hang down
(Annie May, Annie May, Annie May, Annie May, Annie May)
(Annie May)
Annie May's gotta make up her mind
(You gotta make up your mind)
But all she wants is to have a good time
(I know you wanna have a good time, oh girl)
Let your hair hang down
(You're rocking my world, baby; you're rocking my world)
(Come on) (Little girl)
(Come on) (Rocking my world, baby)
(Come on) (Annie May)

[Outro: Tony! Toni! Toné!, D'Wayne Wiggins, Raphael Saadiq]
Annie May's gotta...
Annie May's...Annie...
Annie May's gotta...(Gotta make your mind)
Annie May's gotta make up her mind
(Just tell me, speak to me, baby)
Annie May's gotta...
(Party people on the left...party people to the right)
Annie...Annie May's gotta...
(Everybody in the house, live it up tonight)
(I don't care what you do, baby)
Annie May's gotta...
(Party people on the left...party people on the right)
Annie May's gotta make up her mind
(Everybody in the house, live it up tonight)
Annie May's gotta make up her mind
(Gotta make up your mind)
Is it a girl or is it a guy?
Annie May's...Annie...
Annie May's gotta make up her mind
Is it a girl or is it a guy? (Oh, Annie May)
Annie Mae's gotta...
(And you know that it's so good, I'm gon' touch ya, feel ya)
Annie May's gotta...Annie...
(But I can't go all the way, Annie May)
Annie May's gotta make up her mind
(Make up your mind)
Is it a girl or is it a guy?
(Is it a girl? Is it a guy? Does it matter anyway, Annie May?)
Let your hair hang down
