Hey fellas have you heard the news? You know that Annie's back in town? It won't take long just watch and see How the fellas lay their money down Her style is new but the face is the same As it was so long ago But from her eyes a different smile Like that of one who knows Well it's been ten years and maybe more Since I first set eyes on you The best years of my life gone by Here I am alone and blue Some people cry and some people die By the wicked ways of love But I'll just keep on rollin' along With the grace of the Lord above People talkin' all around 'bout the way you left me flat I don't care what the people say, I know where their jive is at One thing I do have on my mind, if you can clarify please do It's the way you call me by another guy's name when I try to make love to you, yeah I try to make love but it ain't no use Give it to me, give it Work so hard I couldn't unwind Get some money saved Abuse my love a thousand times However hard I tried Heartbreaker, your time has come Can't take your evil way Go away heartbreaker Heartbreaker Heartbreaker Heart
