[Verse 1]

Annie's twelve years old, in two more, she'll be a whore

Nobody ever told her it's the wrong way

Don't be afraid with the quickness you get laid

For your family, get paid, it's the wrong way


[Chorus]

I gave her all that I had to give

I'm gonna make it hard to live

Salty tears running down to her chin

And it ruins up her makeup and never wan' give


[Verse 2]

A cigarette pressed between her lips

But I'm staring at her tits, it's the wrong way

Strong if I can, but I am only a man

So I take her to the can, it's the wrong way


[Chorus]

The only family that she's ever had

Is her seven horny brothers and a drunk-ass dad

He needed money, so he put her on the street

Everything was going fine until the day she met me


[Verse 3]

Happy, are you sad? Wanna shoot your dad?

I'll do anything I can, the wrong way

We talk all night, tried to make it right

Believe me, shit was tight, it was the wrong way


[Chorus]

Don't run away if you wanna stay

'Cause I ain't here to make you, oh, no

It's up to you what you really want to do

Spend some time in America

Ha, dub style


[Trombone Solo]

Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha

Pick it up, chicka, chicka, chicka, chicka, chicka, chicka, chicka

Huh, huh, huh, huh

Ha, ha, ha


[Chorus]

She'll give you all that she's got to give

But I'm gonna make it hard to live

Big salty tears rolling down to her chin

And it smears up her makeup an' never wan' give


[Verse 4]

So we ran away and I'm sorry when I say

That straight to this very day, it was the wrong way

She took a hike, don't matter if I like it or not

Because she only wants the wrong way


[Chorus]

I gave her all that I had to give

She still wouldn't take it, whoa, no

Her two brown eyes are leaking like a sieve

And it still ruins her makeup and never wan' give
