Written by natalie cole

(hoohoohoo) mmm (hoohoohoo)

Growing up wasn't easy for annie mae

(hoohoohoo)

A little girl in a great big world

Annie mae (hoohoohoo)

No one knew about her past

Some people swore she'd never last

She was (growing up much too fast)

Growing (hoohoohoo)

Just a little too fast (hoohoohoo)

Never had her a mamanono

Annie mae (hoohoohoo)

Rarely heard a kind spoken word

Annie mae (hoohoohoo)

Looking at life through an empty shell

And all the time she's catching hell

She was growing

(growing up much too fast) up much too fast

Does anybody know where is annie mae today

Where oh where is annie mae

All you got to do is look into the faces of

All the young girls

On the avenue--(young girls!)

Ohwell(hoohoohoo) ha

In the night hear her cryannie mae (hoohoohoo)

Hurt and pain keeps coming again

And againand againannie mae (hoohoohoo)

Trippin' and runnin' is blowin' her mind

Tryin' to decide if she'll make it this time

She was (growing up) ohyeah (much too fast)

She was (growing up much too fast)

Somebody got to stop heroh annieannie

(ooh) (hoohoohoo) (where is annie mae)
